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.

Posted: June 6, 2025A 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 🌹🍷

I felt completely safe and absolutely loved the country—it’s stunning! I took a day trip to Tatev, where I rode the world’s longest cable car (a Guinness World Record holder), and the views were absolutely breathtaking. I thought the long drive from Yerevan would be exhausting, but it was 100% worth it—one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. As for Yerevan, it’s a fantastic city to explore on foot. Everything essential is within walking distance, and I discovered so many amazing spots just by wandering around. Some of my favorites include: - 404F – Incredible coffee - Sergio Boutique – High-end fashion at surprisingly low prices - Cafesjian – Amazing food - MOV – Recommended by a friend (didn’t get to try it myself) - Pablo – A club/restaurant with a great vibe - Aperitivo – Another must-visit spot I really enjoyed - A local bakery run by the sweetest woman – I don’t remember the name, but I can send the location! Feel free to DM me. Before you leave, make sure to buy some tea from Chaicoff! They have incredible blends infused with natural herbs, black, and green tea—it’s truly something special. I regret not stocking up! Overall, Armenia is a beautiful, safe country with friendly locals. Just keep in mind that very few people speak English, so a little patience goes a long way!

We stayed in Yerevan for 3 days, and I can’t wait to return. A charming but vibrating place with many kind people and excellent food (I’m vegetarian, but still found many delicious meals). I’m overall not a brave person but I felt very safe during the trip. We used public transport and we left Armenia by train to Georgia, and the train was also comfortable and safe, staff was nice, and Armenian landscape was so beautiful that I really want to return to discover more of this georgious country.

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.

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.

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.
