Travel Note
YandexGo and GG are the Armenian equivalent of Uber. Use this to get around the city. You can link your debit or credit card or choose to pay by cash. Getting around Yerevan is super cheap and you will enjoy walking to most places. Set this up when you arrive at the airport so you can use it to get from the airport to your accommodation.
Travel Note
When you arrive at the airport, you'll see VivaCell MTS at the arrival lounge. Make sure to grab yourself a sim card for your trip so you can get by with ease. Most places have WiFi but getting a sim card will cost you less than £10 and your trip will be hassle free.
Travel Note
Make sure to have a currency converter app on your phone otherwise Armenian Dram's will leave you puzzled. Just to give you an idea, roughly £1 is 500AMD, £10 is 5000AMD and £100 is 50,000AMD.
Travel Note
Most place taking debit or credit card payments but it's worth carrying AMD (Armenian Drams) with you. From experience, It's better to bring USD or EUR and exchange to AMD in Yerevan. There are banks where you can cash out AMD. Make sure you have a debit card that doesn't charge international fee's such as Monzo, Revolut, Sterling Bank, Barclays and First Direct.
Travel Note
We recommend wherever you choose, to check that the location is no more than a 15 minute walk to the Republic Square so you are close to the centre of Yerevan. Overall, Yerevan is a small city and getting around is quick and easy.
Hotel
Tufenkian is one of our favourite hotels in Yerevan. Prime location, just by the vernissage market. Spacious rooms and a cute outdoor pool.
Hotel
Best Western Congress Hotel has one of the loveliest outdoor pools in Yerevan. Nothing like sunbathing and ordering right to your sunbed. They have great food and it's a short walk to the Republic Square.
House Or Rental
If you're looking to stay longer than a few days, want to cook sometimes and generally looking for good value for money. Airbnb's are good options in Yerevan.
