Gallery to Charents’s house
Start at Dalan, 12 Abovyan Street. Check access to the current exhibition, then continue towards Mashtots Avenue
Find the Charents House Museum at 17 Mashtots Avenue. The Charents Museum of Literature on Aram Street is a different venue outside this walk
Finish at Parajanov or cross the river
Continue to the Parajanov Museum. Finish here for the shorter option: about 2 km from Dalan without crossing the Hrazdan
The full route adds about 1.5 km to the exterior approach beside ARARAT via the pedestrian approaches to Victory Bridge. The museums’ proximity on a map does not provide a direct shortcut across the gorge
Separate the walk from a museum tour
Book an ARARAT tour with the museum and confirm the entrance. The track ends on an exterior pavement; the factory service area is outside the walk
Choose one indoor visit or allow more time. The Parajanov Museum, Charents’s house and ARARAT are separate venues with their own admission arrangements
