How safe is Armenia?

Yerevan is quite a safe city, however women walking alone after 11 pm can receive "invitations" from men to join them in their car. Make sure to dress in a conservative way if you have to walk alonr at night. And well, be mindful of your bag in public turisty places, and taxi scams.

Armenia is a pretty safe country. I’ve lived here all my life and never saw anything happen to anyone I know. It’s true a lot of people here have anger issues and are pretty traditional but it won’t bother you if you’re respectful to them.

Yerevan is pretty safe for women. The main issue will obviously be walking in dark places alone at night but meeting a creep is not as common as you might think. You also might receive side eyes for your outfit in Yerevan suburbs. In the center usually nobody cares. Overall I would rate the safety 9/10.

Yerevan is a quite safe place. Public transport is full usually but still quite safe - the same about metro stations! As a female traveller you dont feel any pressure or assaulting. You can stay outside till quite late hours at night!

For me it is very safe. I wouldn't recommend leaving personal belongings somewhere without watch but other than that there aren't many pickpocketers around. There ara some cases of sexual assaults. Usually instead if applying to police people tend to apply to their families and friends

Armenia is one of the safest countries in the world and mostly there is no crime, women can walk alone during night and be in safe, there are very few people who would try to harm someone, but police is fast and will fix that situation.

Yerevan is a very safe city. I can walk around the city at 4am and nothing will happen to me. I usually spend my friday night out with my friends and i take a cab home late at night, 3-4 am and i feel completely safe to do that.

Yerevan generally has always been a safe city. The chances of you being robbed or kidnapped are VERY low. You can even sleep with your door unlocked. The only thing i would be worried about is sexual harassment or catcalling. Our country has a huge issues with stalking.

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 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.

I felt completely safe and absolutely loved the country—it’s stunning! I took a day trip to Tatev, where I rode the world’s longest cable car (a Guinness World Record holder), and the views were absolutely breathtaking. I thought the long drive from Yerevan would be exhausting, but it was 100% worth it—one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. As for Yerevan, it’s a fantastic city to explore on foot. Everything essential is within walking distance, and I discovered so many amazing spots just by wandering around. Some of my favorites include: - 404F – Incredible coffee - Sergio Boutique – High-end fashion at surprisingly low prices - Cafesjian – Amazing food - MOV – Recommended by a friend (didn’t get to try it myself) - Pablo – A club/restaurant with a great vibe - Aperitivo – Another must-visit spot I really enjoyed - A local bakery run by the sweetest woman – I don’t remember the name, but I can send the location! Feel free to DM me. Before you leave, make sure to buy some tea from Chaicoff! They have incredible blends infused with natural herbs, black, and green tea—it’s truly something special. I regret not stocking up! Overall, Armenia is a beautiful, safe country with friendly locals. Just keep in mind that very few people speak English, so a little patience goes a long way!

Armenia, Couple travel
We stayed in Yerevan for 3 days, and I can’t wait to return. A charming but vibrating place with many kind people and excellent food (I’m vegetarian, but still found many delicious meals). I’m overall not a brave person but I felt very safe during the trip. We used public transport and we left Armenia by train to Georgia, and the train was also comfortable and safe, staff was nice, and Armenian landscape was so beautiful that I really want to return to discover more of this georgious country.
