The main downtown area in Yerevan with some very good and some very bed cafes

Friendly and good vibes

Very good place to come hangout! There is a bazar, cafes, everything you need is there!

This is a good spot to gather with armenian youth.By having a good atmosphere, it is always a 0leasing place to be at, especially at summer nights.

Loved this square. Nice place to walk around, sit idle, or hamgout.. Lots of tourists around.. And cannot not mention the place during night.. Its awesome😍😍😍 there is musical fountains too at night.. And the place has got a nice vibe to it... Its one of those places where you dont need to spend a penny and still enjoy your evening.. There are many tourists guides with their vehicles rom whom you can book trips to sevan lake, and such places.

One of the most historical places in Yerevan. You can statue by Auguste Rodin in the center of the square. Be careful :))

Its a nice place to stay. From this point you can get transport to go lake Sevan, and many other places. It is important to arrive in advance in order to have good deals and find other travellers willing to visit these places.

So nice !

always nice to be here 👍🏻

Beautiful attraction in the centre of the city. Walking distance to many monuments and major hotels. Great spot to enjoy a stroll and coffee while basking in the lovely Yerevan sunshine.

They have an ice skating close by, apart from that nothing much to do.

Nice place with nice cafes

We are waiting for the next few weeks to get the square new image.because we have a new project in the yerevan city.must be city and green pleases repeating new images capital of yerevan.its new politics in ARMENIA .

The semi-circular square is known for its prominent role in modern history of Armenia. Since the Karabakh movement in February 1988, the Freedom Square has become a center of popular demonstrations. To suppress the demonstrations the square was closed down several times within 1988 by Soviet police and military forces

Very beautiful place, too many restaurants and cafes around. Very clean, even when its very crowded all the time.For every Armenian this square is very important, because all great victories against dictators were born in this square. A must visit spot for travellers, next to Northern avenue.

Nice place to visit with a beautiful round shaped opera house building (not sure). This is where all the major city events are held. Quite touristy but also good to see some locals and socialize. Good for coming with kids as there are lots of entertainment for them. Area is walkable in general and you can get to other attractions from here easily.

All the people selling some stuff is annoying but the place is clean and nice. The building has cute lights in the evenings.

The square was originally named after Ivan Paskevich. The location was first named Freedom Square in 1918, during the foundation of the First Georgian Republic. Freedom Square was the site of the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery.

At some point, every visitor to Yerevan needs to make up their mind: Which is their favorite square, Republic or Freedom? Republic is visually more impressive, but Freedom has more character. Republic is mostly a passive experience; but Freedom is bustling with places to eat and perhaps an opera to watch.

Here is the location of Opera House. The perfect place to spend time in the morning and afternoon.

People gather to walk while their children can run and play safely

Beautiful square with great cafes. If you are fan of hooka you can find it there easily. But unfortunately fountain doesnt work in winter and early spring

In Soviet Union times it was Opera square because of Opera building. At 1988 the Karabakh movement was started on this square. The movement not only caused independence of Karabakh but also was one of the reason of collapsing of Soviet Union and independence of Armenia. From that times it is called Freedom square. Now it is also political actions center. But usually it is just a promenade place :)

i was so facinated with the culture and historical landmarks here in Yereven Armenia especially the freedom square which syambolizes the freedom of armenia to different generations.

For the public holidays you can see people gather and waych the students celebrations

Kids can play here, rent small cars and bicycles, be careful sometimes with rent, you should count time by yourself; otherwise you will pay more.

A great spot for people watching. Seemingly half of Armenia hangs out here on summer evenings.

Great square, lovely cafes and atmosphere around and lots of kids riding bikes and toy bars bring spirit to the square, plus the nice statues and opera add to the look. However the area could be really improved if the cement was changed into tile, added some bushes, benches, trash cans and nice street lights down the square from the entrances into the square to the opera, and made the vendors renting out bikes and running carnival games at the edges of the square more organized to make the area look nicer. Basically great place that can be even better.

[Armenian]👍 : Lav tegha karas xmichk vertsness nstess kamel mangass operayi motov. Erexeki hamar ka puchur aftoner vor karan kshen kich poghi hamar.[English]👍 : Its a nice place where you can grab a bite to eat and sit down or walk around the opera. For kids there are there toy cars and bikes they can ride for a small price.

Kids love to play here. Nice place to walk

Very nice square with interesting monuments and architecture. Nice cafes and restaurants around to enjoy the view.

you should visit this place if you are in Yerevan only for one day. if you have chance you can enjoy live concert also.

Nice place to walk at evening. Main place for political rallies though.

Great place to visit in Yerevan. Concerts happen here, kids ride bicycles, skates, etc... there are also nice bars and little restaurants around Freedom Square too.

Popular for rallies and open air concerts. Just a skating/biking area for kids on most days.

Great place for bars, clubs and to enjoy a pleasant evening in Yerevan.There are also activities for kids (bikes and other things).
