Armenia is pretty safe everywhere. I have personally never encountered any criminal episode, neither had any of my friends or acquaintances. The worst cases I have ever heard - is a minor theft of purse during 20 years that I live here.

It's 8th safest country in the WORLD (2025 info) Many people don't lock their main doors or cars in the nighttime. Most people know each other so it lowers crime probability. Anyways, stay safe, girls. Everywhere in the world

While generally safe, the Caucasian mentality may seem unusual to tourists and can lead to conflicts, so caution is advised. Generally, everyone is very gentle and can help you anytime, even if you do not need help :)

It is very safe during the day, but sometimes at night if its a lonely road some cars stop… they dont come out but I feel threatened a little bit. Once I got my wallet stolen. Apart from that it is a good place

Yerevan has generally been safe for me in the 25 years of my life here. Petty crime is low but I’d still advise to keep a watch on your items. I have, however, been groped without my consent in public several times. The risk of sexual harassment is still low compared to many other places in the world, but you’re still gonna get started at and receive unwanted attention especially if you’re even slightly alt. That’s the main thing making me uncomfortable here, but I would say as a tourist you’ll be fine!

Yerevan, Group travel
A 100% perfect trip to the Yerevan, Armenia 🇦🇲. It was group trip, we met 2 weeks before it on the group in telegram for students. We decided to go to the Yerevan because we are W&T participants and visa is our necessity. So we get our visas and spend great time together 🌹🍷
