Timeline
16:30
Grab a lahmajo (Armenian pizza) and a drink at Tun Lahmajo. It is always packed with locals, so expect a lively atmosphere and a short wait for a seat.
17:00
Walk 27 minutes north to Mother Armenia. Arrive early to find a good spot in the park near the monument. The statue faces east, so you will have the city and the setting sun behind it.
18:00
Stand by the monument and watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light from 17:18 will bathe the statue and the city centre in a warm glow before the sun disappears at 18:00.
18:45
End the evening with a coffee or digestif at Lumen Coffee. It is open late and offers a quiet place to reflect on the view.
