Travel Tips for First Timers

Satisfying your shopping itch in Yerevan: For many travelers Yerevan is a shoppers’ paradise, because the city is blessed with a wide range of shops to suit any need and budget. Visitors will find many designer shops and boutiques, where prices are naturally high, as well as many other shops selling tasteful local goods at cheap prices. No visitor leaves Yerevan without visiting Vernissage, an open-air flea market open on weekends, selling everything from traditional Armenian souvenirs and jewelry, to embroidery and food to parts for electronics and even pets.

Taxis in Yerevan : In general, all taxis in Yerevan have a set price of 100-150 Dram per kilometer. You need to be careful because as they learn you are a tourist, especially if they somehow get you are an enthusiastic first time traveler, then they will charge you more. Always pay attention to the taxi fare calculator not to be fooled. Also make sure not to pay in huge amounts, always keep some change with you because a lot of times when you pay the chances are high they won’t return your change or will express their regret not having it.

Making payments in Yerevan : Yerevan uses Dram and all payments are made only in dram. There will be very few stores (one or two at most) accepting payments in some other currency. To avoid problems exchange your money beforehand. There are exchange offices in almost all large supermarkets and markets, so you won’t have hard time in finding one. Also make sure you keep some cash, because not all shops and stores will accept credit cards.

Dealing with Locals : Yerevanians might not be too friendly towards each other, but they will treat you so. Tourists are always open-heartedly welcomed in Yerevan and they will do everything to help you. Many of them will even offer to act as your guide during your stay. Yerevanians make good friends with tourists especially if they at least a bit speak the language of the country the tourist comes from. It’s a great thing for them.
