Safe to travel to Yerevan with my wife

Upvote:5

Traveled there several times (German, living in Ukraine) and security was never an issue. Border guards at airport are unfriendly in Soviet/Russian way, that's all. Usually taxi drivers at arrival will try to rip you off with fares - anyway, nothing different than Tbilisi or Kyiv. I waited till the last taxi arrived and after all, I was offered a ride twice cheaper than at the beginning ;-). May recommend the factory tours in the Yerevan wine factory and the Ararat cognac factory. Also the Garni archaeological site ,Chor Virap or Noravankh church in the south (depends how much time you plan to spend), also to drive with the Tatev cable car or to make wine degustations in Areni. Concerning culture, their National History museum and the national gallery are marvelous. Political matters like "friendship with Russia", hostility to Turkey or Azerbaijan I would rather avoid. It's a very emotional factor for them, which I didn't want to touch (like f.e.also Macedonia for Greek).
