Guided tours

Yerevan City Bus tour recently proposes a red double-decker bus to visit the capital in 8 stages, every two hours, departure and return to Place de France, behind the Opera House, equipped, like the great museums, with audioguides. The many local travel agencies offer guided tours of the city or the country. On certain sites, monastery or church in a remote village, a priest or a local resident will offer you a visit, but he must speak languages other than Armenian (in any case, you should thank him with a small fee).

The Yerevan Card, a pass to Yerevan... and the country. Since 2018, Yerevan has had a pass system, the Yerevan Card, which gives free access to public transport and the metro, as well as to 40 museums, both inside and outside Yerevan (such as Garni), and even discounts on certain hotels depending on the duration and the formula chosen. The short stay package costs 33 €, and it will cost around 57 € for the year. It can be obtained from travel agencies, but also from the following points of sale: Zvartnots Airport; 2 Abovian Street (+374 12 22 33 22 and [email protected]).
