- Armenia ↗Armenia's land borders with Azerbaijan and Turkey are closed to ordinary travellers, and several governments advise against or restrict travel near the Azerbaijan border (parts of Syunik, Vayots Dzor, Gegharkunik and Tavush). Read your own government's current advice before you book anything outside Yerevan and its day-trip ring.
- Armenia ↗Check entry rules for your passport on the official Armenian foreign ministry pages; many nationalities enter visa-free and others use the e-visa, but only apply on the government portal.
- Armenia ↗Cover shoulders and knees in churches and monasteries; men remove hats, and some women wear a scarf over the head.
- Ararat Valley ↗Mount Ararat is often hidden by haze from late morning, especially Jun–Sep: go early and treat the view as a bonus, not the plan.
- Yerevan ↗The Cascade is a long staircase with escalators inside the complex: with bags, mobility limits or a stroller, take the escalators or a car to the top terrace and walk down.
- Yerevan ↗Use a ride-hailing app or your hotel's taxi: fares are set upfront and cheaper than street hails, especially from the airport.
