Is Armenia safe for women?

Armenia

Overall safe for tourists especially during the day. I would not recommend being alone as a woman at night. People are hospitable and ready to help. I also hitchhiked with a friend in Armenia and it was really nice.

Yerevan

Yerevan is considered one of the safest cities on the Earth. It’s very safe to walk in the streets at night, no one will harm you. But if you wear revealing clothes, you will be looked at. Some of the guys may approach, but no one can do any harm to you.

Yerevan

Yerevan is one of the safest cities you could visit being a woman, a solo traveler or an average person. Crime levels are as low as in Japan. You will feel welcomed and safe. Country is mono cultural.

Yerevan

Yerevan is the capital of Armenia, and as anywhere in country- you will meet hospitality on every step. Yerevan is quite a modern city, yet filled with a lot of history and culture. Most of the buildings in Yerevan are built of local volcanic pink stone called “tuf”, and the city is cheerfully pink. You will feel safe in the streets, while sightseeing during the day, and be safe at night enjoying numerous restaurants, bars, clubs and pubs. Of course, a little bit of rational precaution will be wise to have, as the city is sometimes filled with tourists from over the world of different backgrounds and habits, but cases of violence or robbery are not common on news at all.

Gyumri

Gyumri is a traditional city with values. It is safe here. The only dangers are hungry street dogs. Actually it is scary to walk alone, because the dogs used to attack with groups. The thieves are everywhere, also in Gyumri, bit they are not very much
