You can travel around Yerevan by public transport, take a taxi, but it is best to just stroll leisurely so as not to miss a single treasure hidden in the local streets and hidden in small courtyards. However, while admiring the sights and gawking around, try to get out of your blissful state of bliss when you cross the roadway. Local drivers are sometimes so carried away by the process of maneuvering and the unspoken struggle with other road users that they do not pay attention to ordinary two-legged mortals. This is not out of anger or rudeness, but out of passion.
Wandering around Yerevan, you can discover many magical places that no tour will show you. Small courtyards with drinking fountains, amazingly beautiful houses nestled among their identical Soviet counterparts, cozy home restaurants, small bakeries that make fresh, fluffy lavash and small shops selling delicious fruits and tart homemade wine. Here, Yerevan, with all its smells and sounds, penetrates the blood, tying the absent-minded traveler to itself with all his heart.
Another means of transportation that can be considered a landmark is the metro. There is only one line in the city so far. You can ride the train from half past six in the morning until eleven in the evening. Trains run with enviable regularity, but quite rarely by the standards of metropolitan residents – once every five minutes.
A more universal way to get anywhere is the capital’s minibus. They tirelessly scurry around the city, loudly beeping and, it seems, not missing a single small street. There should be no difficulties with the route – on the windshield of each bus there is a sign with a number and a brief list of the main points that are on the route. You need to pay when you get off, so do not rush to pay as soon as you get on the minibus. The price is usually indicated in the cabin.
But, perhaps, the most convenient means of transport, besides your own car, is a taxi. The rates here are usually low, so a few trips will fit even the most modest budget. If you get a car without a meter, and such examples are common, then agree on the fare right away (don’t forget to haggle). Or you can splurge and rent a taxi driver with an iron horse for the whole day. But this is more of an option for going out into the neighborhood or intense shopping; getting into a minibus with carpets and bottles is a thankless task.
