Essential Tips Before You Go

Immigration Prep: Border control can ask a lot of questions upon arrival, especially if you have previous travel stamps from certain neighboring countries. Have your hotel bookings and return tickets ready.
Drink the Tap Water: Armenia is famous for its clean water. The tap water is perfectly safe, shiny, clear, and drinkable everywhere—even in budget apartments!
Accommodation Warning: Many older, budget-friendly apartment buildings (e.g., those around 100 AED/night) do not have elevators. Pack light, or be prepared to carry your luggage up several flights of stairs.
Currency: The local currency is the Armenian Dram (AMD). It's best to exchange a little money at the airport and the rest in the city.
