Each season has a different beauty and its own set of color palettes in Yerevan. 

There is something quite magical and stunning about autumn; the sounds, the smells, the long, invigorating walks through fallen leaves, the amazing flavors of healthful fruits and vegetables, and the vibrant colors of leaves.

If you don’t like the heat, autumn with its warm, sunny but not hot weather is the best time for vacation in Yerevan.
