It sits across the closed border in Turkey, which is a live subject here \u2014 Armenians see it every day and cannot go to it. Winter and early morning give the clearest views.\r\nIs Armenia cheap? | Yes, though less so than a few years ago. Dorms \u20ac8 to \u20ac18, lunch \u20ac4 to \u20ac8, a metro ride \u20ac0.20, and a day around \u20ac25 to \u20ac40. Prices in the centre rose noticeably after 2022.\r\nWhat is Vardavar? | A pre-Christian water festival in July when the entire country throws water over everyone in the street. There is no opting out, phones get soaked, and it is one of the best days of the year to be here.\r\nHow do I get to the monasteries? | Day tours at \u20ac25 to \u20ac45 are the practical answer, because rural marshrutkas are infrequent and awkward to combine. Garni and Geghard together make the standard half-day.\r\nAre the borders open? | Not with Turkey or Azerbaijan \u2014 both are closed. Overland routes into Armenia run through Georgia, or Iran in the south. This shapes any Caucasus itinerary.\r\nWhen should I visit? | May, September or October. Yerevan sits in a bowl at 1,000 metres and July and August regularly pass 33 degrees, when the city empties for Sevan and the mountains.","hw_hub_city_cta_title":"Say yes to hostels, meet the world","hw_hub_city_cta_body":"Compare Yerevan hostels \u2014 live prices, real reviews and free cancellation on most bookings.
