Is Yerevan safe for solo female travelers?

Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is generally safe for solo female travelers. The local people are known for their hospitality, and violent crimes are rare.

Solo travel

It was my solo trip my homeland after a long break. Yerevan is a great city to stroll peacefully along its beautiful streets visiting its small but cosy stores now and then. October was still warm and sunny. Autumn and Spring are great seasons to visit the city.

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....

Safety: overall safe, no issues, but old men were giving me weird stares constantly Things to do: definitely visit the symphony of stones if you want to go to outside the city, really beautiful there, though the entrance has a fee (as i remember 300 dram), and the place is pretty small. Inside the Yerevan didn’t find many places to visit, though I didn’t came prepared enough (my main goal was to visit Okean Elzy concert), so don’t know what to suggest Food: Tan and Lahmajo in the city center is a good cheap place with traditional armenian food. Just next door located more bougiee restaurant...

You can freely travel in Yerevan at any hour. No one’s gonna bother you, and even anyone does lots of people are gonna protect you. People here care and love and are very welcoming and open. Doesn’t matter if you’re a person of color or if you have a different style.

Pretty Safe City, lived here since birth, Usually things are calm, but I would mostly suggest to be in the citizen center because it is more walkable and everything seems fine. Doesn’t matter if it’s evening or it’s morning.

I consider the center of Yerevan very safe even late at night, but probably wouldn’t walk around not central areas all by myself after 11pm. Generally, avoid areas where you’re all alone, so if you somehow come across a drunk or a creep you can call for help. People are very quick to help here, they’ll rush to you and make sure you get home safe.
