The New City, located in the center of Yerevan, was originally designed and built in the 1920s during the Soviet era by the famous modern Armenian architect Alexander Tamanyan. The square was originally named Lenin Square, but in the late 20th century, the central Lenin statue was removed. It is also the center of concentration of national core buildings in Armenia, including the Armenian Central Government Office and the Prime Minister's Office. The Vernisage flea market is also located here on weekends. In addition, the Armenian National Museum, National Gallery, Literature and Art Museum, and Arno Babajanian Concert Hall are also nearby. Each building adopts the "Armenian classical" architectural style, built with red, pink, and white three-color rock unique to Armenia, with pink as the main tone. This architectural style is very rare in the world. The Armenian National Day parade is also held here every year. In addition, government buildings such as the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Marriott-affiliated Armenia Hotel, and the National Postal Service are located in the northwest and southeast corners respectively.

Sevan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Armenia and the surrounding area. It is also the largest lake in the country, located at an altitude of about 1900 meters and covering about 3% of Armenia's territory. Due to its location in the mountains, the temperature here is lower and the temperature of the lake water is very cool. In summer, it becomes a popular summer resort, while in winter, cold weather persists for a long time.

The Saviour Monastery is located on a peninsula in Lake Saviour, originally a building on Saviour Island. During the Soviet era, water engineering lowered the water level of Lake Saviour and turned the island into a peninsula. The history of the monastery dates back to the 9th century, and the surviving buildings include the short Apostle Church and the tall Nativity of the Virgin Church, which preserves more ancient relics. The architectural form of both churches is simple and square, leaving a deep impression.
