Is Yerevan Safe for Women? Crime Rate in 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 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 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.

Solo travel

before going there, i read some posts about travel experience in Yerevan on Chinese social media. and they say that eating there can be even more expensive than in tbilisi. they recommend a few buget restaurants and i tried two of them. Fourchette buffet is the better one. i ordered some beans, beetroot and two chicken wings which was recommended by the friendly server. they also have bread and other set meals. mine cost around 1500 which is an affordable price in yerevan.

Solo travel

I LOVED Yerevan/armenia in general! Felt like a blend of European/middle eastern/russian/central Asian cultures. Hotels & airbnb’s were more expensive than I was expecting. The food was delicious. I recommend doing a couple of day trips down south and also up to lake sevan
