À propos
Faits rapides: The Children's Railway has been operated by school-age kids since 1937, with students aged 10-15 taking turns as conductors, station masters, and switch operators along the 2.1-kilometer narrow-gauge track. Watching the sunset from Körösi Hill adds layers of golden light across Yerevan's sprawl, with Ararat's silhouette sharpening as the sky shifts through pinks and purples.
Points forts: At the final station on Körösi Hill, the real magic is the student-led operations: kids in uniform punch your ticket and signal departures with genuine authority, a living tradition that has trained generations since the 1930s. As the last train rattles away near dusk, the viewing platform offers a front-row seat to Ararat turning from dusty blue to fiery orange, a daily show that even locals make a ritual of catching.
Conseils d'initiés
- Bring a light jacket even in summer: the hilltop gets noticeably cooler and windier once the sun drops.
- Ride the train one stop before the final station and walk the last stretch along the tracks through pine forest for better views.
- The best photo spot is from the bench just past the station building, where the tracks curve toward the city skyline.
- Avoid weekends if you can: local families crowd the trains and the sunset platform gets packed with groups.
