Grab a bite at Monte-Cristo. The fish and chips are a solid local staple and the place is open late, so you can take your time before the walk.
17:00
National Archives of Armenia Branch 2
Walk 10 minutes SSE to National Archives of Armenia Branch 2. It is a quiet, historic building. Use this time to settle in and watch the light shift from the street.
18:00
Head to the National Archives of Armenia. The main building faces WNW, offering a clear view of the sunset toward the WSW. Stand outside and watch the golden light fade as the sun sets.
18:30
End with a coffee at KafeKopa. It is just 3 minutes away from the Archives and stays open until 23:00, making it a perfect spot to stay as the evening cools down.
Local tip
The walk between the Archives Branch 2 and the main Archives is short and flat. Keep an eye on the sky as you move; the golden hour starts around 17:18, giving you plenty of time to get into position.
