Yerevan is my love now! Barbie city (it’s literally pink) where all the restaurants are daaamn fine (except some fastfood gyros, but it was cheap enough to forgive). I can’t be objective about safety or budget stuff because I was always with my partner (who is the Armenian who arrived to complete the repatriation procedure and let me just rest). But I got something about consumerism here! Lahmajun — must-try dish (contain meat), Cascade, National Gallery, International ethnic bar Calumet, Art-quarter — must-visit. + city centre isn’t huge, that’s why didn’t travel by public transport. Taxi is VERY cheap after Russia, so be ready to walk a lot. Tourism is popular here, so many establishments serve in English/Russian.

I stayed in Arzakan and Yerevan. I recommend visiting the Genocide Museum. This is a truly sad place where you can find out how people lived at that difficult time. I also recommend trying local cuisine, it is better to choose establishments on the Internet. I recommend a walk in the center of Yerevan. For walking in the mountains, you can use the Hikearmenia application, trails are marked there.

Safety: overall safe, no issues, but old men were giving me weird stares constantly Things to do: definitely visit the symphony of stones if you want to go to outside the city, really beautiful there, though the entrance has a fee (as i remember 300 dram), and the place is pretty small. Inside the Yerevan didn’t find many places to visit, though I didn’t came prepared enough (my main goal was to visit Okean Elzy concert), so don’t know what to suggest Food: Tan and Lahmajo in the city center is a good cheap place with traditional armenian food. Just next door located more bougiee restaurant with higher prices and european food. Nice too. For supermarkets - SAS and Yerevan city have a good amount of different products to choose from Budget: 600$ for 2 people for 6 days. Ended up spending the whole amount (200$ was for the hotel). But we ate in restaurants primarily (cause we didn’t have a kitchen) Accommodation: at first we booked a room in THE BASEMENT and of course we left, BEWARE THIS PROPERTY!!! The address: 4 Atenqi, 0012 Yerevan, Armenia Ended up booking a hotel, don’t have the name unfortunately, but it was nice 3* hotel Transport: subway is very old, the buses though are new and comfortable. Very cheap taxi

My boyfriend gave me a trip to Armenia on March 8. I had not been on vacation for 3 years before. I am very glad that we went to Armenia. It is cheap here, for two of us it was a little over $300 for a week. The food here is great everywhere, go to any place and you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products. Accommodation is generally affordable, we rented through Airbnb. My boyfriend and I rented a car in Yerevan and went driving around Armenia, gasoline is more expensive here than in Russia, it is better to take a gas or electric car. There are problems with parking in Yerevan and with traffic in general (there are a lot of cars). There are a lot of reckless drivers on the roads, they do not drive according to the rules. If you decide to travel around Armenia by car, take an SUV, the roads are very bad in some places. Be careful behind the wheel, especially on serpentines. I personally saw how a huge truck more than 5 meters long overtook the same truck on a turn.

Pretty Safe City, lived here since birth, Usually things are calm, but I would mostly suggest to be in the citizen center because it is more walkable and everything seems fine. Doesn’t matter if it’s evening or it’s morning.

I consider the center of Yerevan very safe even late at night, but probably wouldn’t walk around not central areas all by myself after 11pm. Generally, avoid areas where you’re all alone, so if you somehow come across a drunk or a creep you can call for help. People are very quick to help here, they’ll rush to you and make sure you get home safe.

Yerevan is a very safe and good city for female travelers. I would recommend this city because both cultural and safety aspects are good there. There is no need to worry about being robbed etc. So this is a nice place to visit

Very safe for solo female travellers. I would recommend not to walk after midnight all alone. But overall it’s safe. People just stare if they find you attractive . They don’t steal or rob. They always try to help.
