Travel Tips Yerevan

Getting Around within Armenia

Getting around Armenia is relatively easy. The main options to consider are listed below (including a full minibus destination list to help you plan your trip).

  

  

  

Marshrutka/Minibus

Marshrutka

The main public transport system connecting the regions in Armenia is by mini bus (marshrutka| featured image above). The minibuses are relatively cheap (cost depends on route) but are cramped conditions and limited stops. These are however how the locals commute, so if you really want to appreciate the local lifestyle this is the way to go.

Note that most marshrutkas run between Yerevan and the Regions. This means there is limited connectivity between the regional towns with public transport. You are best to take a Taxi to close locations within the regions.

The marshrutka’s to the regions leave from different locations around the city. The Envoy team has prepared the following summary of bus routes for your convenience. The route detail are subject to change by the Transport Ministry. You are most welcome to ask reception for more information regarding the routes you are interested in.
