Get in

Getting around Armenia is a breeze with marshutnis! These mini-buses can be easily taken from Yerevan, Vanadzor, and other cities. In Yerevan, you'll find them at the central bus station, also known as the Kilikia Bus Station. If you prefer more private transportation, taxis are also available at the border with Georgia. The average fare for a taxi is AMD100 per kilometer, but be cautious as some drivers might try to take advantage of visitors who are unfamiliar with the rates. So, hop on a marshutni or flag down a taxi and get ready for an exciting journey through Armenia!
