Armenia

Gyumri

The second-largest city in Armenia emerged as a cultural hub in Russian-ruled Eastern Armenia in the late 199th century and boasts pictuesque views in the Shirak Province.

About

Gyumri rose above adversity and became a sanctuary for Armenian refugees fleeing the horrors of the Armenian Genocide after World War I, transforming it into a place of rich cultural heritage and historical significance in the region. Renowned for its traditional architecture and vibrant history, Gyumri has nurtured numerous talented artists, athletes, and musicians over the years, and is considered the home of Armenian comedy. The city’s charm lies in its traditional neighbourhoods and the cozy streets where you’ll encounter hidden cafes and historical buildings made from rare volcanic black and red tuff rock. Visit the Black Fortress, also known as Sev Berd, constructed by Russian Emperor Nicholas I using black volcanic tuff. Explore the old Kumayri district situated in the heart of the city, which dates back to the 5th century and boasts enchanting architecture. Sample some of the delectable local cuisine and immerse yourself in the cultural tapestry of Gyumri.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags.
