The city of Yerevan perfectly encompasses both the past and present. Armenia’s capital city has plenty of modern amenities, such as world-class bars, restaurants and shopping malls, but it’s also home to many historical sites and buildings, such as the Republic Square, the National Academic Theatre of Opera, and the Matenadaran Research Institute.
There are two different ways to get from Yerevan Airport to the city; taxi or bus. Taking a Yerevan Airport to city taxi will take around 20 minutes and will cost just €6 (AMD 2,500) for up to 4 passengers. On the other hand, taking the Airport Express Bus number 201 will take closer to 30 or 40 minutes to reach the centre and will cost €1 (AMD 300) one-way.
3 options to go from Yerevan Airport to city center
There's a pre-pay, fixed-rate taxi kiosk inside the airport. However, these fares are usually double that of the taxis outside the airport and there may be a longer wait time.
If you're travelling in a group, I recommend taking a Yerevan Airport taxi and splitting the cost. The journey will be much quicker but will cost around the same per person as the bus.
