When to Go
As already said, seasons in Armenia are clearly expressed, so Yerevan could be no exception. The best time to visit Yerevan is summer, when it doesn’t rain much and the sun seems to sparkle throughout the day stronger than a diamond on a ring. It’s the time when you can take full advantage of every single thing Yerevan has to offer, from roaming to shopping and sightseeing. But the summer heat will be unbearable for people who can’t stand the heat, so to avoid nose bleeding and headaches caused by excessive heat they will be forced to start their stroll around the city in the evenings, when the entire Yerevan is lighted and full of people until late hours.
If you would like to visit Yerevan in spring, but hate rainy weather then skip early spring. Instead concentrate on late spring when everything in the city is in bloom, including the young and the old.
Visiting Yerevan in fall would be a great option for people who love mild weather, when there is little sun, but the weather is not cold. Yerevan falls are very beautiful with trees dressed in yellow and red leaves. Fall is especially beautiful in October-November period when the leaves start falling off the trees. That’s when you realize why the season was called “fall.” A visit to Yerevan in fall will carry somehow artistic nature and it would be a perfect venue for those travelers who are artists in their heart and who apart from the many things they will be offered in Yerevan, will enjoy the gently, shyly, aggressively or tiresomely falling trees and will love roaming in the city all covered with scattered leaves.
If you would love to visit Yerevan in winter, then one thing to note is that Yerevan is never full of tourists in this period because not many people choose to leave the sun and appear in Yerevan in a time of a year when the sidewalk is all covered with snow and ice and the possibility they might slip and have something broken is rather high. Nevertheless, it does not make Yerevan less attractive because the snow veil suits Yerevan as much as the wedding veils suit the brides on their wedding day. A visit to Yerevan in winter should be considered by all those people who can stand the cold weather, who are in love with the snow, who enjoy skating and simply who would love to spend a good time in a new and peaceful environment.
On the whole, Yerevan is a city, which can be visited equally in all seasons. It’s just a matter of preference between the cold and the warm and also a matter of what you expect, because from the point of seasons and weather there is nothing absurd or exaggerated as this is the case when the weather fully corresponds to the season – a perfect harmony of which not many cities can boast of, while Yerevan is one of the few.
