Travel Tips

The practical backbone of an Armenia trip: visas and entry rules, the Armenian dram and how to handle money, SIM cards and internet, getting around by marshrutka and taxi, realistic budgets, safety, and the best time of year to visit. These guides answer the specific questions that decide how smoothly a trip goes — how Indian and other travellers enter Armenia, what a day really costs, which apps you need, and the honest picture on borders and safety in 2026 — with current figures and sources, updated as things change.
