Plan notes
Useful context before you go
This is a compact, source-based one-day plan focused on Yerevan’s named sights. The creator reports using Armenian dram and withdrawing cash at an ATM. For local rides, the creator identifies GG and Yandex Go; Uber and Bolt were reported not to work. The creator also encountered a restriction on filming inside the metro, so check and respect posted rules before recording. Reported cost benchmarks were approximately €20–30 per person for food and drinks per day, about £20 for a hostel, or roughly £80–120 for a three-star hotel; these are creator-reported figures, not current quotes. The food shown included two croissants and coffee for breakfast, and basil lemonade with a lentil kebab wrap for dinner. The café and vegan restaurant were not named, so they are not represented as map stops.
