Timeline

  1. 16:33

    Dalma Garden Mall

    Grab a quick coffee and pastry to go. Dalma Garden Mall is open and easy to pop into before you head up the hill.

  2. 17:03

    Cascades, Sculpture Park and Cafesjian Museum

    Walk up to the Cascades, Sculpture Park and Cafesjian Museum. The Sculpture Park is a green zone with famous Botero sculptures. Arrive here as the golden light begins to fade, giving you the best view of the city centre before dark.

  3. 18:03

    Ktoor

    Head down to Ktoor for dinner. It is a typical Armenian restaurant with a very large outdoor patio on Saryan Street. The food is reasonably priced and done well.

  4. 19:03

    El Sky

    End the night with a drink at El Sky. It is a bar open late, perfect for winding down after dinner.

Local tip

The walk from the Cascades down to Saryan Street is steep. Take it slow. El Sky is open until 02:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time to linger.

Check before you go

  • Dalma Garden Mall opens at 10:00. If you arrive before then, skip the mall step and go straight to the Cascades.
  • The Parajanov Museum closes at 17:30, so this plan focuses on the public spaces outside and the view.
