Yerevan is a small city and is easy and pleasant to walk around. The majority of places of interest, museums, cafés and restaurants are in the city centre. You can walk across the city center in less than an hour.

Minibuses

Minibuses (“marshrutni”) are the most popular mode of transportation in the city. Regardless of the distance, the fare is 100 drams within the city boundaries. The stops are quite close to each other and if you do not know how to reach somewhere, passengers and the minibus drivers can help you.

Subway

There are only 10 subway stations in Yerevan. You must buy the 100 dram token before entering. Tokens are sold right in the station. There are also cards that have a predetermined quantity of trips.

Taxis

Taxis are incredibly convenient in the city. You can flag down a cab practically anywhere and they are often parked at the curb waiting for clients. On average, the fare is 100 per kilometer. The minimum fare is either 500 or 600 drams. It is best to catch a taxi with a yellow license plate- this indicates that it is an authorized taxi. The majority of taxis have a meter. Avoid taking one that does not have a meter. They will most likely overcharge.

Car Rental

Renting a car in not the most advisable means of transport if you are planning on staying in the city. There are many traffic lights, and traffic jams are common on work days.
