What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find Liberty Freedom Square to be a vibrant and central public space, particularly loved by families for its children's play area with toy cars. While the surrounding shops and restaurants can be pricey, the square's connection to the iconic Opera House and its lively atmosphere make it a worthwhile visit for its cultural significance and community feel.
"On the northern side of the city and one of the more known landmarks, this square houses the opera and ballet house of Armenia -- the cultural epicenter of the country.
You'll find families and tourists here all day. Later in the afternoon and the evening there will be kids playing with battery operated cars driving around the square. It is aso surrounded by shops and restaurants -- albeit, these are highly priced. Still worth a visit though!"

"Freedom square is the open place South of the Operahouse. It is popular for the little cars that kids can ride and also used for open-air events. It is a wide, open square - flat and all grey. Northern Avenue starts from the square and is the most direct connection when heading to Republic Square. Freedom Square is also one of Yerevan’s most famous public square and the view onto the Operahouse from here is the most well-known."
Elephant Rooms
"A small square just behind the Opera building. It contains many sculptures. There are many kids' games there. Many coffee shops at the square. From it you can pass through the Tashir streat, a nice shopping streat."
