When to Go
The best time to visit Armenia is May–June or September–October for mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer (July–August) is warm in Yerevan but perfect for mountain exploration. Winters are cold and snowy, especially in the highlands.
Getting Around
Marshrutkas (shared minibuses) connect most cities cheaply. For flexibility, rent a car in Yerevan. Taxis and ride-sharing apps (GG) cover the capital well.
