The infrastructure of the city is
rather developed with many public libraries, sport schools, a cultural palace,
modern hospitals and hotels. The domestic airport of Stepanavan
was constructed and put in service in 1982. The house-museum of Stepan
Shahumyan is located in the centre of the city. Directly off of the main square
is the Stepanavan
Information Center
which provides services to tourists and residents alike.
The nearby villages of Yaghdan
and Koghes used to have significant Pontic Greek communities
