Armenia is small and easy to explore. In Yerevan, ride-hailing apps are the simplest way around; between cities, minibuses and shared taxis connect almost everywhere. Here are your options.
Around Yerevan
Ride-hailing apps (GG and Yandex Go) are cheap, reliable, and the easiest option for visitors — no haggling.
The metro has a single line through the centre with a flat fare — quick for a few central stops.
Buses and minibuses (marshrutkas) cover the whole city for a small flat fare, paid in cash or by card on newer buses.
Between cities & sights
Marshrutkas (shared minibuses) leave from Yerevan's stations to most towns — inexpensive, frequent, cash only.
Shared and private taxis are affordable for day trips (Garni-Geghard, Khor Virap, Lake Sevan).
Trains (South Caucasus Railway) run seasonally to Gyumri, Lake Sevan, and Tbilisi.
Car rental gives the most freedom for the regions; roads to major sights are good.
Tips
Download GG or Yandex Go before you arrive. Keep small dram notes for minibuses, and having your destination written in Armenian or Russian helps with older taxi drivers.
