Other things to note Useful information about Armenia: Security – for many reasons, Yerevan can be considered one of the safest cities in the world. Strolling along the streets late at night is much safer here than in many European cities during the day. In fact, the level of crime is very low, often escaping the notice of the common tourist. For example, we can leave our car unlocked on the street and find it untouched and undamaged. Tourists, like any other citizens, feel completely secure. Orientation – It is very easy to find your way around the city, even if it is your first time here and you don't have a map or anyone to help you. It is hardly probable that you will get lost in Yerevan. The city centre consists of circular belt roads and intersecting streets, and the city is not big (excluding the outskirts and far-end districts). The streets are crowded with vehicles: buses and taxis. However, you can reach a destination on foot as the distances are not very long. If you do get lost, you can stop any passer-by and ask for directions; they will gladly accompany you to show you the way. Currency – The national currency is the Armenian dram. In stores and other commercial centres, trade is carried out in the national currency only. There is no problem with exchanging foreign currency, as there are exchange desks where you can exchange any currency almost everywhere and in many stores. In big commercial centers of Armenia you can use credit cards. There are also several banks and ATMs from where you can withdraw money. Credit cards are accepted in restaurants and cafes. Tips – there are places where tips are included in the price and the average one is 5-7 %. In this case there is no need to leave a tip. In other cases it is common to leave tips of an average of 10% of the price. Language - Armenian is the state language in Armenia. In Yerevan a lot of people (mainly the youth) can speak English, French, German and Spanish. Russian is spoken almost freely by most of the population. There can be some difficulties with the language only in some very remote villages, and that is not often. There is no language barrier in Armenia. Traffic – tourists usually notice one and only disadvantage in Yerevan – street traffic. The city has not been designed for such amount of cars so streets are often overcrowded. Though traffic jams are seldom here, the abundance of cars is not in harmony with the comfortable streets of Yerevan. That is why it is better to walk along the streets than take a public bus. Transportation - Transport services for the capital's residents are provided by buses, trolleybuses, minibuses and the metro. Just pay 150 drams and you can go wherever you want. However, it is better to take a taxi, of which there are plenty in Yerevan. They are very easy and cheap to catch. Food – You can eat almost everywhere. Wherever you are in the city, you can find a snack bar, café or restaurant every 100 metres. If you are in the city centre, you can find a place to eat every 10 metres. Here, you can find any national cuisine: Armenian, Arabic, Georgian, European and Chinese. Prices can vary. Generally speaking, eating out in Yerevan is cheaper than in Europe. Water – You can buy bottled water in every food store; all brands are produced in Armenia. You can also drink the running water from the tap at a hotel or in a house. It is absolutely safe to drink and even tastes good. In the streets and yards of Yerevan, you can see certain water springs which, in colloquial Armenian, are called 'pulpulak'. These unique, one-metre-high bubbling jets offer clean, tasty Armenian water. Come and have a drink. It's completely free! General – As a general rule, you should buy souvenirs at the open-air market “Vernissage”, which is open on Saturdays and Sundays. The best Armenian cognac is produced at the Yerevan Brandy Factory. You are guaranteed the lowest prices and the highest quality here. You can buy wine in any shop and at the wine factory. The greatest part of Armenia is highlands (from 1000 to 2500m above sea level) and for this reason it is advisable to have warm clothes with you.
