Kond is Yerevan’s oldest surviving district — a maze of narrow alleyways, stone houses, and living history. Tucked on a hill just minutes from Republic Square, Kond feels like a different world: one where carpets hang from balconies, neighbors talk across rooftops, and time has barely touched the crumbling beauty of the Soviet past. In recent years, Kond has quietly transformed into an open-air canvas for Yerevan’s underground art scene. Graffiti and murals now appear between aged walls, blending rebellious creativity with ancient textures. This living contrast — between old and new, silence and spray paint — makes Kond a unique cultural zone unlike anything else in the city. Wandering through Kond, you'll pass hidden courtyards, chat with friendly locals, and get a rare look into daily life in a neighborhood that’s both raw and soulful. This isn’t the polished Yerevan of guidebooks — it’s the version you’ll remember.
