Where to Stay, Eat, and Walk<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can spend a full weekend in Dilijan without a car \u2014 walking routes around town, no sense that you’re missing anything. Here’s how to get there, and when you’ll actually need a taxi. Bonus: a ready-made 48-hour route at the end.<\/p>\n

Getting there<\/h2>\n

Minibus<\/h3>\n

~1500 AMD<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.5\u20132 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaves from the North Bus Station once it fills up.<\/p>\n

Watch out for booking sites<\/em><\/p>\n

Sites like Tutu or Unitiki list Yerevan\u2013Dilijan tickets for 1500\u20132500 rubles \u2014 that’s a transit bus passing through town, not the local minibus, which costs a fraction of that and is only sold in person. Same mix-up with the station: it’s North station, not Kilikia \u2014 that one serves the south.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yandex Go<\/h3>\n

10,000\u201317,000 AMD for the whole car<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.5\u20132 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

GG Shuttle<\/h3>\n

1600\u20131950 AMD<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.5\u20132 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Book a seat in advance through the GG Taxi app; vans leave from Matenadaran.<\/p>\n

Private transfers<\/h3>\n

2000\u20132500 AMD per person<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.5\u20132 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drivers fill seats for a set date through a chat group.<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/h2>\n

Pick a place by how far it is from Sharambeyan Street \u2014 the historic core, with its carved balconies and caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Tufenkian Old Dilijan Complex<\/h3>\n

10a Sharambeyan St<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 19th-century merchant house with handmade carpets and carved wooden balconies.<\/p>\n

Toon Armeni Guest House<\/h3>\n

4 Kamarin St \u00b7 900 m from the center<\/strong><\/p>\n

A guesthouse with a blooming garden and its own restaurant serving traditional Armenian dishes.<\/p>\n

Lakeside Dilijan<\/h3>\n

13 Maxim Gorki St \u00b7 900 m from the center<\/strong><\/p>\n

A garden, a terrace and a hot tub, with its own restaurant and bar on site.<\/p>\n

Getting around on foot<\/h2>\n

Sharambeyan Street<\/h3>\n

A restored craftsmen’s quarter \u2014 workshops, souvenir shops, pottery and woodcarving classes. The starting point for every walk in town.<\/p>\n

City park and the “Mimino” monument<\/h3>\n

A man-made lake and a “pulpulak” spring next to a bronze statue of the film’s trio. Where locals go just to walk.<\/p>\n

The amphitheater<\/h3>\n

An arch and columns in the classical style, with a statue of a woman holding a jug out front. Now hosts concerts and youth events, with a view over the town from the top.<\/p>\n

Local history museum and art gallery<\/h3>\n

1 Getapnya St<\/strong>
The ground floor covers local history; the second and third floors are a gallery with works by Armenian painters, including a few Aivazovsky originals.<\/p>\n

Museum of Armenian Weaving<\/h3>\n

5 Kalinina St<\/strong><\/p>\n

A branch of the Hovhannes Sharambeyan Museum of Folk Art, in an 1896 building \u2014 Armenia’s first museum dedicated to textiles. Carpets, tapestries, embroidery from different schools, plus Sharambeyan’s own work.<\/p>\n

“Drunken Forest”<\/h3>\n

15 minutes from the center, an hour round trip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pines tilted by landslides, with a view over the whole town from up top.<\/p>\n

The medieval trail<\/h3>\n

3.5 km, about 2 hours one way<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the western edge of town to Matosavank and Dzhukhtakvank \u2014 historic architecture from the 12th\u201313th centuries.<\/p>\n

Taxi trips<\/h2>\n

Lake Parz, Haghartsin and Goshavank \u2014 three places too far to reach on foot in reasonable time. All taxi prices below are one way.<\/p>\n

Lake Parz<\/h3>\n

~30 minutes, about 5000 AMD<\/strong><\/p>\n

A walk around the lake, boats, a zipline, picnic spots, plus a deer conservation center nearby.<\/p>\n

Haghartsin Monastery<\/h3>\n

15\u201340 minutes, about 4000 AMD<\/strong><\/p>\n

The largest monastery complex in Dilijan National Park, 10th\u201313th centuries.<\/p>\n

30\u201335 minutes, about 4000 AMD<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 12th\u201313th century complex on a plateau where two rivers meet, home to the “Lacework Khachkar” from 1291.<\/p>\n

All three sit in the same direction \u2014 cheaper to hire one driver for the whole day than to catch a taxi at every stop.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where to eat<\/h2>\n

Kchuch<\/h3>\n

6 Sayat-Nova St<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dishes cooked in clay pots in a wood oven, large portions. The Caesar salad with crispy lavash deserves a special mention.<\/p>\n

Papanino House<\/h3>\n

104 Kalinina St<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grilled steaks, a wide wine list, and its own bakery downstairs.<\/p>\n

Carahunge Cafe<\/h3>\n

25 Kalinina St<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wood interior, a good wine list, live music and events in the evenings.<\/p>\n

Toon Armeni<\/h3>\n

4 Kamarin St<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homey Armenian food that tastes like someone’s grandmother made it: mushroom soup, khashlama, tolma.<\/p>\n

Im Toon<\/h3>\n

1 Shahumyan St<\/strong><\/p>\n

A project by the founder of Yerevan’s Dolmama: a stone house with Armenian carpets on the walls instead of paintings. Armenian food with European touches \u2014 from spas soup with avelukh to rabbit goulash in white wine.<\/p>\n

Where to Drink Coffee<\/h2>\n

The Spot<\/h3>\n

10\/1 Getapnya St<\/strong><\/p>\n

A full kitchen plus coffee from Blackwood, a roastery out of Novosibirsk. One of the few places where locals and visitors actually mix.<\/p>\n

Conservatory<\/h3>\n

12 Sharambeyan St<\/strong><\/p>\n

An old house rebuilt inside \u2014 high ceilings, vintage chandeliers. Specialty coffee by day; by night, the same room turns into a wine balcony.<\/p>\n

Rolls<\/h3>\n

30B Myasnikyan St<\/strong><\/p>\n

A coffee menu running from filter to espresso tonic, plus their signature dessert rolls. Mountain views from the balcony.<\/p>\n

Lumen<\/h3>\n

6 Sayat-Nova St<\/strong><\/p>\n

A well-known Yerevan coffee brand, running as an espresso bar inside Kchuch. Serious equipment, filter coffee, and beans to take home.<\/p>\n

The two-day plan<\/h2>\n

Day 1. On foot around town<\/h3>\n

Check in<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coffee at The Spot or Conservatory<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sharambeyan Street and the Old Dilijan quarter<\/strong><\/p>\n

The local history museum and the Weaving Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lunch at Kchuch or Papanino House<\/strong><\/p>\n

City park, the Mimino monument, the amphitheater<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dinner at Im Toon or Carahunge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 2. Easy morning, then you choose<\/h3>\n

Coffee to go at Rolls or Lumen<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “Drunken Forest” hike<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then choose: the walking trail to Matosavank and Dzhukhtakvank, if you want to keep walking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or: a taxi loop through Parz, Haghartsin and Goshavank with one driver for the day, if you’d rather spend it covering the monasteries<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
