Getting to Khor Virap

by kr_en

There are two buses/marshrutkas to Khor Virap. They depart from the BACK side of the Sasountsi David railway station (use the metro underpassage) at 11 and 13.30 (check www.armeniainfo for exact departures) and cost 400 drams each way. Tell the driver about your intentions so he'll drop you at a crossroad about 1 km from the monastery as the bus continues to nearby villages. In my case the driver was kind enough to inform me about times when the bus returns. Anyway, you have about an hour and a half to get to the monastery see it and get back which is enough as the monastery is rather small or additional 4 hours if you decide to take the afternoon bus.

Armenia guidebook

by R-men

There aren't many tourist guidebooks for Armenia. And even those that are published do not always portray the correct information."Rediscovering Armenia" is more or less better guidebook compared to those that exist now. Of course the information in it is already old. Many things are changed and every day there are more and more service infrastructure upgraded/built in Armenia, but still, Rediscovering Armenia gives pretty good information about the sights and it's history.Go to Rediscovering Armenia Guidebook to download Rediscovering Armenia.

Georgian Visa in Yerevan

by MalenaN

The Georgian Embassy in Yerevan is opened between 10.30 - 13.00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (Wednesdays are closed, and of course the day I went there). It opens up again at five o'clock to give back the passports with visas.To have a visa issued in one day costs 75 dollars (they want to have the money in Drams). Otherwise it takes four business days and the price is then about the half. For the application you will need one photo.The woman at the embassy said visas can be issued at one of the boardercrossings from Armenia (don't remember which one) for a cost of 80 dollars.Address: Arami Street 42 (close to the Republic Square)Telephon:564357, 564183Fax: 564357E-mail: georgia@arminco.com

Hire a Guide

by markbyrn

The tourist industry is not well developed even in Yerevan, and a guide is essential if you're not a Russian or Armenian speaker. If you're coming to Yerevan, I'd be be happy to talk to you, and give advice.

Car or bus road T'bilisi-Yerevan The road Tbilisi-Ereval takes about 7 hours by bus.It lies in the mountains and cross the little piece of valey on Azerbaijan territory.The best part of the roas is so-called 'serpantine', the road is winding between mountains like a snake.

by peter_br

Haghartzin monastery is probably the most beautiful place I visited in Armenia: great surroundings, fantastic architecture and countless fascinating khatchkars (=stone crosses) scattered around the main site. If you are in or around Byurakan, try to visit the scientists at the Institute for the Study of Cosmic Rays at the top of mount Aragac. They live and work in a Soviet-style bunker complex, with creepy underground tunnels and decaying research equipment. They are very hospitable and more than happy to show visitors around (and drink wodka with them). A unique opportunity to catch a glimpse of the way scientists worked in the former USSR.

by Nvard

You must visit Matenadaran, where 15,000 ancient manuscripts in ancient armenian(grapar),greek, arabic, etc. are held. This is my second year away from Armenia, and I always dream of the Republic Square in Yerevan and the biblical mountain of Ararat, where Noah's arch lended centuries ago. it is like the Effel tower for Parisians, you can see it practically from every balcony and window in Yerevan and not only.

Questions and Answers

Q:  Plan to travel next fall in Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. What is your opinion of renting cars in these countries and driving? 

Fluffy_bunny profile photo

A: I can't speak specifically for renting in the other 2, but renting in Azerbaijan is more hassle than it's worth. Rental cars are expensive, $70+ per day. On top of that,...
