How to Get From Yerevan Airport to the City Center (Zvartnots)
The Yerevan Airport, or Zvartnots International Airport, is a mid-size, comfortable airport located about twenty-five minutes from the Armenian capital city.
The newly-built airport was constructed to replace the iconic Zvartnots International Airport that previously stood and was a masterpiece of Soviet architecture with its unique design and obscure control towers.

Getting from Zvartnots Airport to Yerevan City Center
Airport Express Shuttle Bus #100 Bus
One of the best and most affordable options is taking the Airport Express shuttle bus that goes to and from Yerevan city center to the Zvartnots Airport daily.
The Yerevan Airport Express buses depart every 30 minutes from 7 am until 10 pm, and every hour from 10 pm to 7 am daily. After arriving at Zvartnots International Airport, you must exit the arrivals area on the ground floor.
You will immediately see a sign that says ‘Express Bus’ and it will guide you in between where the taxi stand is and the regular parking lot.
This is where you’ll find the Yerevan Airport Express bus. A ticket costs 300 AMD (under $1). You can pay with cash and with credit cards.
Bus from Yerevan City to the Airport
From the city center to the airport, you will take the same bus # 100 going the opposite way.
The Airport Express #100 bus also passes through France Square, Mashtots Avenue, Victory Bridge, Isakov Avenue, Yerevanyan Street, and Gasparyan Street.
The bus ride will last about 40 minutes and it costs 300 AMD (under $1). You can read more about the bus to and from Yerevan Airport here.
Yerevan Airport Taxi Options
Taking a taxi is not always the most efficient and cheapest option at most airports, but fortunately for Yerevan, it is probably the most efficient and it is still quite affordable.
If you want something set and easy upon arrival, you will see a stand for taxis that is called Aerotaxi.
This taxi service will run travelers at about 5000 AMD (about $11). This will allow you to avoid private taxi drivers and to have a fixed price and reliable service.
To be honest, we don’t use this option. We download a Yerevan taxi app, such as GG Taxi or Yandex Taxi, and order one from there.
If there is no traffic, the price should be anywhere from 2000-2500 AMD (about $5-7). I have taken several for 1500 AMD. It just depends on the demand and traffic.
Yerevan Airport Transfers
If you’re looking for a pre-arranged Yerevan Airport transfer, there are a few options that you can book ahead of time to keep your mind free of worries.

You can easily store your luggage at Yerevan Airport if you wish. To find the luggage storage at Zvartnots, you will need to exit arrivals and take an immediate left.
You will quickly see the luggage storage area and if no one is there, ring the bell. The prices for storing luggage at Yerevan Airport are affordable at 1500 AMD daily per bag ($3).
Getting a SIM Card at Yerevan Airport
If you wish to purchase a SIM card at Yerevan Airport, you’re in luck! There are three companies there and they work around the clock by arrivals.
You will find MTS Vivacell, Beeline, and UCom there. Megan and I use Vivacell. They offer various tariffs according to your needs.
You will find SIM cards in Armenia extremely affordable compared to most other countries.
WiFi at Yerevan Airport
There is good working wifi at Yerevan Airport. You can log on without needing an Armenian phone number and you can use it at your leisure.
This is a great option if you want to book a taxi out of Yerevan independently.

If I will be arriving around 4 am, where should I go? My check-in time is 1 pm. Too early to check in and too late to book a night.
