Arpi from Yerevan

About me Since you've reached this description, you might have guessed that I love traveling and writing. I'm also passionate about food. Food makes me happy. Why Yerevan Yerevan is all about its people, and similar to its people, Yerevan is full of contradictions, which makes it so unique... Where else can you find me online? Facebook

Yerevan Metro Yerevan

Feel the smell of Soviet

"The Yerevan Metro system isn't beautiful, but it's a place with people that remind me of Soviet times. I love exploring places close to the stations..."

Yerevan Metro is not one of those beautiful metros with attractive architecture, but it's a place where you can observe all kinds of people. The stations are limited - there are only ten of them. It's a typical Soviet-style metro with Soviet-style people working there. The good thing is that it's very cheap — only 150 AMD for a ride, so you can just walk around all the stations and see those parts of Yerevan where tourist guides will not take you. Most importantly, it will take you to the main station, where you can take a train or a bus to other cities of Armenia, and it covers most of downtown.

You can also find statues of Soviet heroes in some of the stations.

The metro is frequent, clean and safe!

This is my favorite place to wander around when I need to think (and sometimes overthink) about something. I just love exploring places near the metro stations: they are so unique and local.
