Yerevan

Yerevan, the capital and largest city of Armenia, stands as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, it serves as the nation's administrative, cultural, and industrial hub. Known for its distinctive pink volcanic stone architecture, Yerevan blends ancient history with modern vibrancy. Since the early 2000s, the city has undergone significant transformation, seeing a surge in retail outlets, restaurants, and street cafés that were rare during the Soviet era. With a population exceeding 1 million, it offers a rich cultural landscape, recognized globally as the 2012 World Book Capital. For frequent-flyer hotel travelers, Yerevan provides a unique base to explore the Ararat Plain region, steeped in millennia of history from the fortress of Erebuni to its role as the seat of the Araratian Pontifical Diocese.

Getting there & around

From the airport

Yerevan’s scheduled passenger airport is Zvartnots International Airport (EVN), about 12-15 km west of the centre; Erebuni is not a normal commercial-arrival airport. There is no train or metro from EVN. The airport bus is the cheapest public option: check the current route number locally, as airport services have been listed as 201 and on newer city-transit info as 100; expect roughly 30-40 minutes to Republic Square/Yeritasardakan in normal traffic. App taxi or official airport taxi is usually simplest with luggage, about 20-30 minutes to Kentron, longer at peak times.

Around the city

Central Yerevan is very walkable, but distances climb toward Cascade and Nork. Public transport includes one metro line with a Charbakh shuttle branch, plus buses, minibuses and trolleybuses. Visitors should use Telcell Wallet QR tickets, a Telcell transport card, or an NFC bank card where accepted; a single city ride is about 150 AMD. Metro signage is easier for visitors; buses can lack English stop announcements, so track routes in Yandex Maps or the official transport site. Taxis are useful late at night and for hillside areas.
