Armenia Travel Forum

Does anyone have any idea if there is a bar in Yerevan showing English Premiership football - i will be travelling there in august and dont want to miss the start of the season!!!

I have 10 days holiday that I need to use by the end of September this year. I am looking at Armenia seeing as I can get cheap flights to there from Dubai. Can anyone recommend any budget tours in Armenia and possibly Georgia? Is it very expensive there?

Basically I'm trying to figure out how to have a cheapish holiday to use up my leave in September (in a non muslim country as Ramadan will be happening) and I thought Armenia or similar could be it.

Any suggestions or hints?

Hi ALl, hoping some could help me with a few questions:

I will be visiting Armenia for three weeks in June for work, mostly based in Yerevan, and was wondering if someone could help point me in the right direction of a few things:

- Are there any special events happening in June?
- Where would I find the best sports facility / wellness centre / gym, etc... Preferably around the centre
- Are there any general expat hang-outs or things happening of a weekend?

I'm sure I will have more questions as I continue preperations in the next week, but for now this is enough for you!

Thanks in advance, Mike

Hey everybody
I am an EU citizen, Denmark to be exactly and I have a few questions about visa for Armenia

Is it possible to purchase a visa at the border going from Georgia into Armenia?

I constantly read on official sites about visa questions that it is needed before hand, but so many here say otherwise.

Someone wrote that the minibuses/buses do not want you on board unless you show a visa, since it will slow them down at the border. Is this true?

I really need to know as there is no Armenian consulate in my country.

Hi there,
I'm trying to find out how easy it is (or whether it's possible) to cross from Azerbaijan to/from Armenia. Is it at all possible to cross from Armenia into Nakhchivan? Am planning a trip in the Caucasus in August and am trying to work out a feasible route! If anyone can help me by answering my query (and if possible suggesting border crossings/locations) that'd be very helpful!
Thanks,
Si

I am planing to get into Georgia by land through the Armenian boarders.

1) Is the boarder between Georgia and Armenia open for other nationalities to cross or is it restricted? It might sound like a stupid question but I need to make sure.

2) How is the bus services between Yervin and Tbilisi? How long is the trip? How much would it cost? How painful is the boarder crossing?

Thanks

Hello,

I am planning to visit Armenia this summer with an American friend, including Georgia and Azerbaijan, all by land, almost one month.

I guess I need to enter from Turkey into Armenia through Georgia. What about the border pass between theese three countries? Armenia-Azerbaijan?

I heard that Armenia asks visa even from my special passport. Can I get at the border?

Any tips, "do"s and "don't do"s?

The most exciting part of this travel will be meeting,talking and partying with locals for me. Anyone wants to meet?

My main points during all my travels are; history and culture, long walks, visits, talks during daytime; meet and party with locals at night.

Acommodation in Yerevan and other cities?

I will highly appreciate any recommendations and friendly help.

Best wishes.

Alper

Hello!

i'm a travel photographer visiting Yerevan in May for a few days and then travelling around Armenia and am very keen to photograph as many people as possible. I wonder if you would like to be photographed or could put me in contact with people (of all sorts) who would?

thnaks for your help

Clive

I think I will be heading off to Karabagh in the middle of May and answers to the following questions will be greatly appreciated:

1. My understanding is that there is no visa requirement for the CIS citizens. Please confirm
2. When looking on the map of Karabagh there is a road that goes there one from the South through Lachin and the one from the North that ends up ultimately at Sevan. Please let me know about this upper road more in details: is it working? is it paved? is it safe? How long it will take to get there say from Mardakert to Sevan?


Merci

Hi, I'd like to know if any of you have ever travelled from Armenia to Iran by bus, and about the visa system. Is it possible to get iranian visa in Armenia? And how much does the bus trip cost?

Thanks a lot,

I'm going to Armenia this spring/summer and I'm a little bit curious of Nagorno Karabakh. Is it worth the detour and (maybe) extra risk, or should I opt for other parts of Armenia instead?

I will certainly go to other parts as well, I'm just wondering if there is something really extra special or spectacular about Nagorno Karabakh, apart from it being the most "extreme" place to visit.

i was thinking visit Armenia return to Iran but:

1) I will visit Geghphard, Ejmiatsin and Yerevan in 3 days enough this
2) How long take the bus from Trabiz to Yerevan
3) Enough 3 week visit, Geghphard, Ejmiatsin and Yerevan (Armenia) and visit Kashan, Abyaneh, Esfahan, Yazd, Shiraz, Persepolis, Mausoleh and Tehran (In Iran)?

Hi to all...

I have couple of quesitons:

1. Does anyone has an experience of air travel from Erevan to Alepo?
The Armavia web site indicates only a schedule through Dec.31. How should i obtain a new schedule for the next year?

2. Does anyone know about the process of obtaining a visa for Syria at the local embassy? How much it costs? How long it takes?

Thanks,
Rati
