How safe is Yerevan?

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.

Yerevan feels quite safe, especially in the city center. I’ve often walked there late at night and never felt unsafe or threatened. It’s a peaceful and welcoming place, even after dark. The streets are usually calm, well-lit, and full of friendly people

Yerevan is one of the safest cities in the world, but you need to know about some regions to avoid especially at night like 3rd mas, Charbax, Qanaqe, near the circus, and Halabyan street. The city center, Komitas, Ajapnyak are safe.

As a local here in Yerevan I feel completely safe when walking at night or interacting with strangers. Of course some events may happen but usually Yerevan is safe and hospitable both for locals and tourists.

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.
