Yerevan is served by the Zvartnots International Airport, located 10km west of the city center. It is the main airport of Armenia. Recently, the airport has undergone and still is in the process of major constructions. After these constructions the airport will be capable of handling 3,000,000 passengers a year, thus becoming the most modern and high class airport in the Caucasus region.
Airport is the gateway to the country and its culture. The first impression you will get is that there are more people than those who just arrive or departure. Armenians like meeting and seeing off their friends and relatives. Five people may have come to meet only one.
As soon as you get out of the building, the crowd of taxi drivers will offer you their services. Make sure you ask a local about the prices, otherwise you might overpay.

On the way to Yerevan on can admire the unforgettable view of one of major tourist attractions -Zvartnots Cathedral or the Cathedral of the Angels (a ruined seventh century circular Armenian cathedral built by order of the Catholicos Nerses the Builder from 641-653).
The plan of the cathedral is drawn by Toros Toramanian in 1905. Zvartnots remained standing up until the end of the tenth century. Afterwards, historical sources are silent as to the cause of its collapse
A drawing of the cathedral was depicted on the first issue of 100 AMD banknotes and its model can be seen in the Museum of History in Yerevan.

Together with churches in Echmiadzin, Zvartnots was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2000.
