Preparing for the trip

There are no strict recommendations for travelling to Armenia. Active tourism lovers should think about health insurance.

Armenian roads are pave but not always even or straight. The country is surrounded by a four-lane highway. Armenian cities are easily reached using trains, buses, and minibuses. Public transport is comfortable and not too pricy here. If you’re entering the country by car, there exists a compulsory road tax that is valid 15 days.
