What Travelers Say About Yerevan

Yerevan is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities (founded 782 BC) — a compact, pink-tufa city with extraordinary views of Mount Ararat (across the border in Turkey). Armenia was the world's first Christian nation (301 AD). The brandy (cognac), food, and genuine warmth of Armenians make it one of the region's most rewarding destinations.

Common Scams in Yerevan

Border with Turkey & Azerbaijanhigh

Armenia has closed borders with both Turkey and Azerbaijan due to historical and ongoing conflicts. You cannot cross by land. If your passport shows entry stamps from Azerbaijan, you may be denied entry to Armenia — and vice versa. Plan your routing accordingly.
