Singing and dancing Fountains in Yerevan
The Republic Square is currently one of the most awesome places in Yerevan.
The Republic Square gets especially crowdy in the evenings, particularly within the period between early spring and late fall. It’s during this time period that the singing fountains operate and perform a light show right in front of the Art Gallery and History Museum. The program features classical music, contemporary jazz, pop and rock.
The Show usually starts at 9 pm or 10 pm and lasts until 11 pm. Both the fountains and their colors change according to the rhythm of the song or the music played.
The fountains were renovated in 2007. And now they feature computer-controlled water displays.
As a significant place for all Armenians and a truly interesting and fun tourist destination, the Republic Square should be visited both during daytime and the night-time. Those are two different places offering different views and different emotions and feelings. While nigh-time Republic Square will definitely appear to be more attractive and impressive, it’s only during daytime that you will have a unique opportunity to discover the surrounding buildings, visit the National Museum (by the way, it’s open until 5 pm), get acquainted with the works of Armenian and foreign artists, and of course visit the nearby cafes and shopping centers.
