How safe is Yerevan?

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
Posted: May 3, 2025It 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
Posted: April 16, 2025Yerevan 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!
Posted: April 13, 2025Yerevan is very safe. You can walk alone at night in the streets and no one will disturb you. Just in case do it in the central streets. Far from the center is also safe, but some streets can be dark, with no lightning, so better to concentrate on the center.

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 🌹🍷
