Start near Yeritasardakan station
Yeritasardakan station is a practical reference point for reaching Yerevan’s metro network from this part of the city. From the hotel, you can walk to the station in about eight minutes; a car journey takes about six minutes.
Once there, choose the metro for a rail journey or look for a bus, trolleybus or minibus for other parts of the city. Yerevan’s municipal transport department organizes intra-city public transport and oversees routes, schedules, stops and stations, so its official transport pages are the place to check for current route details.
Using the Yerevan Metro
The Yerevan Metro is one of several public-transport options in the city. Its municipal operator is Karen Demirchyan Yerevan Metro, one of the passenger transport companies operating under the municipality’s authority.
To make the metro part of a trip, first check whether a station is convenient for your destination, then plan the walk at either end.
You can also combine a metro ride with a bus, trolleybus or minibus where that better suits the route. The municipality oversees the city’s transport routes and stations; check its official transport information for current details before setting off.
There is no need to treat the metro as the only way to get around. The city’s public transport network also includes surface options, and walking can fill the gaps between a station, a stop and your destination.
Buses and other city transport
Yerevan’s public transport includes buses, trolleybuses and minibuses as well as the metro. The municipality lists Yerevan Electric Transport, Yerevan Bus and YerevanTrans among the passenger transport companies operating under its authority.
For a bus journey, check the municipality’s transport information for routes and schedules, then choose a stop that fits your starting point and destination. The transport department oversees stops and stations, as well as routes and schedules. Because bus and other surface-transport journeys depend on the route, confirm the details for your trip before you travel.
If you’re comparing transport options, begin with the destination: use the metro where a station makes sense, and look at buses, trolleybuses or minibuses for other routes. Walking can connect the different parts of the journey without requiring one mode to cover the whole way.
When walking is practical
Walking is useful for reaching nearby transport and joining up shorter parts of a city journey. For this guide’s starting point, the walk from the hotel to Yeritasardakan station takes about eight minutes. A neighbourhood walk around the hotel area is another way to plan time on foot.
You can also plan a trip as a mix of walking and public transport: walk to a station or stop, take the mode that suits the route, then continue on foot at the other end. The route from the hotel area to the centre can form part of a one-day walk through Yerevan.
For trips that rely on a specific bus, trolleybus or minibus, check the municipality’s route and schedule information rather than assuming the same option works for every destination.
Before you go
Routes, schedules and transport arrangements can change. Check the official site before you go: Yerevan Municipality’s transport pages provide information on the city’s public transport, including the dedicated Bus page.
