Matenadaran: The Treasure Trove of Armenian Manuscripts

Getting There

• Walking

  From the Tsaghkadzor Central Square, head southeast on Koryun Street towards the main road. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with the main road (M1). Turn right onto M1 and walk for about 15-20 minutes until you reach the bus station in Tsaghkadzor. Here, you can take a bus or minibus heading to Yerevan. The bus ride will take approximately 1-1.5 hours. Once you arrive in Yerevan, you will need to find your way to Mesrop Mashtots Avenue. From the bus station, head northeast on Garegin Nzhdeh Street until you reach the intersection with Mesrop Mashtots Avenue. Turn left onto Mesrop Mashtots Avenue, and after a short walk, you will find Matenadaran at number 53 on your right.

• Public Transport

  Start at the Tsaghkadzor Central Square and walk to the bus station (approximately 5 minutes). Look for a bus or minibus labeled 'Yerevan' or 'Yerevan Central'. Board the bus, which will take you directly to Yerevan. The journey will take around 1-1.5 hours. Upon arriving at the Yerevan bus station, exit and find the nearest public transport options. You can take a taxi or a public minibus (marshrutka) to the city center. If you prefer walking, head northeast from the bus station on Garegin Nzhdeh Street until you reach Mesrop Mashtots Avenue. Turn left and walk until you find Matenadaran at 53 Mesrop Mashtots Avenue, which will be on your right.
