Yerevan Airport Transfer Guide (2026) - All Options & Tips
Airport transfers in Yerevan: taxi, bus, train, and shuttle options from the airport to the city center, with costs and journey times in Armenia.
Helpful Tips
Grab the GG or Yandex Go app before you land. Reliable rides. Cash or card. Done.
Pick up a plastic Yerevan Card at metro stations. One tap rides both metro and city buses. Simple.
Outside baggage claim, hop on the AeroExpress minibus. Thirty minutes to Republic Square. Cheaper than taxis.
Metro shuts around 23:30. After that, call GG or Yandex Go. Or haggle a street taxi.
Common Scams to Avoid
Taxi drivers at Zvartnots Airport often refuse to use the meter or quote inflated flat rates to the city center. Avoid this by booking through the official airport taxi desk inside the terminal or using ride-hailing apps like GG or Yandex.Taxi with transparent pricing.
Currency exchange booths in the arrivals area frequently advertise attractive rates but then apply hidden fees or give old, lower-denomination bills that are hard to use. Exchange only small amounts at the airport and get better rates at city center banks or ATMs instead.
Some unofficial 'porters' aggressively grab luggage from the baggage carousel and demand excessive tips for carrying bags just a few meters. Politely refuse assistance unless you specifically requested it, and keep your baggage claim tickets visible to deter them.
