Getting to Yerevan, the charming capital of Armenia, is an adventure in itself. Here are the ways to reach this historic city:
Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) is the main gateway for international travelers flying into Yereveran. It hosts a number of international airlines offering direct and connecting flights from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. From the airport, you can reach the city center via taxi, which is about a 12-15 km ride or by taking the airport shuttle services.
For a scenic route to Yerevan, you can embark on a train journey from Tbilisi, Georgia. The train offers a unique travel experience, though it’s slower compared to other modes of transportation. Make sure to check the current timetable and availability, as services may change.
Buses and minibuses are common for travel in the Caucasus region. You can find buses or minibuses (marshutkas) connecting Yerevan with neighboring countries such as Georgia or Iran. While comfort levels may vary, they offer an affordable means to travel.
If you prefer driving, renting a car might be an option. Be advised that while this gives you freedom to explore at your own pace, you should be comfortable with the local driving styles and potentially challenging road conditions.
Please check the visa requirements for your country before planning the trip. Many travelers can obtain a visa on arrival or through the simple e-visa process.
Enjoy your journey to Yerevan!
