The Nork stops make a straightforward first part of a day in Yerevan. Visit the park and statue before heading into central Yerevan, keeping the day in two clear parts: local sights first, then the central square and gallery.

Finding Park after Tatul Krpeyan

Finding Park after Tatul Krpeyan

Park after Tatul Krpeyan is a green-space stop in Nork. Make it the first stop before continuing to the Hayk statue.

The park’s paths and greenery give this part of the itinerary a different setting from the city-centre square and gallery. Keep the visit flexible, then continue to the statue.
