Uncover the stories of Yerevan at your own pace.
▶ Listen to a tourLooking at “Republic Square” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.
Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.
Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.
Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.
Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.
Record 20–40 seconds of speech — Destino will create a copy of your voice. Share it with loved ones or ask them to record their voice for you. Your voice narrates not only bedtime tales but recorded city tours too — and you can share them with a link.
Creating a voice and a short preview don't use your balance.
Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, boasts a rich history dating back over 2,800 years and is known for its stunning early Soviet architecture and vibrant culture.
Yerevan is a city of pink tuff stone laid out in a circle around Republic Square, with Mount Ararat filling the southern horizon on a clear morning. The centre is flat and walkable; the monasteries and temples that make Armenia famous are day trips of one to two hours from it.
Republic Square is the set piece: the government buildings, the History Museum and the National Gallery in curved pink and orange tuff, with the singing fountains in summer evenings. Northern Avenue leads to the Opera House and Freedom Square; the streets around them, Tumanyan, Abovyan and Saryan, are the cafés and wine bars. Vernissage, the open-air craft and antiques market, is a block east of the square on weekends.
The Cascade is the giant limestone staircase climbing from the Opera towards Victory Park, with the Cafesjian Center for the Arts inside it — Botero's sculptures at the bottom, escalators inside for those who don't want to climb. The terraces at the top give the view over the city to Ararat. Above them, Mother Armenia stands over Victory Park with the sword.
The Matenadaran at the top of Mashtots Avenue holds one of the world's largest collections of medieval manuscripts, with the illuminated pages on display. On the hill across the gorge, the Tsitsernakaberd memorial and the Genocide Museum. Down on Mashtots, the GUM market is the place for dried fruit, lavash and herbs. The Blue Mosque nearby is the only working mosque in the city.
With Destino you walk Yerevan at your own pace: the guide talks about what's in front of you, and you can interrupt and ask at any moment — in English, right in your browser.
The guide talks about Yerevan in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.
If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
Instructions, three tour demos and a bedtime tale in English. Choose a recording and voice.
