What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect Yerevan to feel so alive on a weekday morning. We’d barely started when our guide, Arman, pointed out St. Grigor Lusavorich church—he joked about the pigeons being regulars there. The air smelled faintly of roasted sunflower seeds (someone was selling them by the curb), and I kept hearing snippets of Armenian pop from open car windows. It was warmer than I thought it’d be for spring.

We wound through Mashtots Street, past the Opera House and Swan Lake—kids were chasing each other around the water, yelling in three different languages. At the Cascade, Arman let us catch our breath (those steps are no joke) and told us how locals come here at sunset. I tried to say “Cascade” in Armenian; Li laughed at my accent—probably deserved it. The view from up top over Yerevan is something I still think about when I hear city noise back home.

Later we stopped by Lovers Park and Parliament on Baghramyan Street—people were lounging on benches or just strolling slowly, like nobody was in a hurry. There was this little moment where an old man nodded at us as he watered flowers near the Circle Gardens. Maybe it’s nothing but it felt like a quiet “welcome.” The day trip through Yerevan went by fast; honestly, I could’ve spent another hour just watching people at Republic Square or peeking into Moscow Cinema. And if you want extra stops? Just ask—they seemed happy to go off script.
