Driving in Yerevan

Car Class Recommendations

Suitable for the city's variable road conditions, compact and economy classes are the most recommended. Vehicles such as Hyundai Solaris or Renault Logan are an excellent choice due to their agility and parking convenience.

Speed limits and Traffic Rules

Just like in Britain, the driving seat is on the left side, but unlike back home, the traffic flows on the right. The city speed limit is typically 60km/h, while for the most motorways, it averages 90km/h.

Parking in Yerevan

Parking can be scarce in the centre of Yerevan, but many hotels provide parking for guests. Pay attention to signs to avoid being fined. Also, valet parking apps like GMobi and EasyPark can be handy for spot search.

Exploring Yerevan's Attractions

With historic marvels like the Erebuni Fortress and the Garni Temple, your road journey in Yerevan will be filled with cultural heritage. Don't miss the Yerevan Brandy Company, perfect place for whiskey fans, as Armenian brandy was Winston Churchill's favourite!

Embracing the Climate

The temperature in Yerevan varies significantly comparing to Britain. Summers can be scorching hot with temperatures rising up to 40°C, while winters may see the mercury descend to -10°C. An air-conditioned car would be of great help in this varied climate.

The Currency and Seasonal Events

The national currency is the Armenian dram (AMD). And yes, you'll need some drams for the toll roads and to explore the bountiful events such as the Barbecue Festival in summer or the Yerevan Wine Days. They'll give you a taste of the local life at its best.

Navigating the City and Beyond

Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport is about a 20-minute drive from the city centre. You can pick up your rental car directly at the airport. Yerevan is also well-positioned for trips to surrounding cities like Garni, Geghard, and Sevan. Experience Armenia like a local and embrace everything the country offers.
