From Zvartnots into Yerevan
Twelve kilometres and about twenty minutes, with ride-hailing that costs almost nothing.
The airport
- Zvartnots International (EVN) is about 12 km west of Yerevan - 20 minutes in normal traffic.
- It is small, modern and easy. Immigration is quick for visa-free nationalities.
- Flights arrive at unsociable hours. A great many Yerevan arrivals land between 03:00 and 05:00, which is worth knowing when you book accommodation.
Into town
- Yandex Go and GG are the ride-hailing apps and both work from the airport. A ride into Yerevan costs very little.
- Airport taxis are fixed-price from the official desk. Agree the figure; there is no meter.
- Bus 201 runs to Republic Square for 300 dram, cash, and it runs all night - every 30 minutes from 07:00 to 22:00 and hourly after that, which is exactly when those 03:00 arrivals land.
- Take cash for the taxi if you have not set up an app - the drivers prefer it.
Onward
- Yerevan is where everything starts. The country is small and most sights are day trips: Garni and Geghard, Khor Virap, Noravank, Tatev, Lake Sevan, Dilijan.
- Marshrutkas (minibuses) and shared taxis cover the country from the Kilikia and Sasuntsi David terminals.
- To Georgia: buses and shared taxis run Yerevan to Tbilisi daily, about six hours. Check the route avoids the M16/H26 road the FCDO advises against.
- The train to Tbilisi runs overnight in summer and is slow and pleasant.
