Schedules: Shops and museums in Yerevan are usually open from 10:00 to 19:00. Restaurants and cafes have longer hours, especially in summer. Outside the capital, schedules can be less predictable. Many museums are closed on Mondays.
Internal Transportation: To get around Yerevan, the metro and taxis (using apps like Yandex or GG) are efficient and economical. To travel between cities, the most common option is minibuses ('marshrutkas') or shared taxis. Renting a car offers more flexibility, but keep in mind that some roads outside the main axes may be in poor condition.
Language: The official language is Armenian, which has its own alphabet. Russian is widely spoken and understood by the majority of the population. In Yerevan and tourist spots, English is becoming more common, especially among young people. Learning a few words in Armenian, such as 'Barev' (Hello) and 'Shnorhakalutyun' (Thank you), will be greatly appreciated.
Tips: Tipping is not mandatory, but it is becoming common practice in restaurants and cafes in Yerevan. If the service has been good, it is appropriate to leave about 10% of the bill. In taxis, the fare is usually rounded.
