Timeline
12:00
Arrive at Yerevan Water World as it opens. The outdoor pools are ready for a swim in the summer, or you can use the indoor 'Aquatek' year-round. It is a popular local spot, so going early helps you avoid the biggest crowds.
13:30
Walk 12 minutes to Tavern Yerevan. It is the place for traditional Armenian cuisine. You might rub shoulders with government officials or tourists, but the food is authentic. Go here for lunch while the water park is open.
14:00
Walk 50 minutes from the anchor (or roughly 30-40 minutes from the restaurant area) to the Mother Armenia statue. This monumental public art, erected in 1967, offers a commanding perspective of the city. The walk is long, so pace yourself.
Local tip
The walk to the Mother Armenia statue is significant (50 minutes from the water park). Plan your time accordingly. If you prefer a shorter walk, consider stopping at the Botanical garden (11 minutes from anchor) on your way back down, but the view from the statue is the primary daytime highlight.
