Couchsurfing in Armenia: travel guide
Updated · Written for travellers staying with local hosts
Armenia is a small, mountainous country with an ancient Christian heritage, and its hospitality is warm, personal and often food-heavy. Yerevan, built from pink tuff stone, is the heart of the country, and hosts there are often students, young professionals, artists and members of the diaspora who have returned. They are likely to take you to cafés, the Cascade and the Vernissage market. Outside the capital, villages and monasteries dot the mountains, and hosts in the regions may invite you to share homemade food, fruit and brandy. Armenians are proud of their language, unique alphabet and long history. Family is central to life, and guests are treated with respect and generosity.
Where to couchsurf in Armenia
Getting around Armenia
Marshrutkas are the main form of transport between towns, leaving from Yerevan's bus stations. Trains are limited but connect Yerevan with Gyumri and run seasonally to Lake Sevan. Shared taxis are common. Hitchhiking is very common and widely accepted, and drivers rarely expect payment. Yerevan has a metro, buses and minibuses, and taxi apps are inexpensive.
Armenia on a budget
Armenia is affordable. Lavash, khorovats (barbecue), dolma and lahmajun are cheap and filling. Markets sell fresh fruit, vegetables and dried fruit at low prices. Yerevan's cafés can add up, but local eateries are good value. Costs bite with tours to remote monasteries if you do not use marshrutkas or hitchhike, and with imported goods.
Hospitality culture in Armenia
Armenian hosts are generous, and refusing food can seem impolite, so try a little of everything. A handshake is common, while friends may kiss on the cheek. Shoes are often removed indoors. Toasts are an important part of meals, often led by the host. Learning barev (hello) and shnorhakalutyun (thank you) is appreciated. Russian is widely understood, and younger people increasingly speak English. Bringing sweets or something from your country is a nice gesture.
Best time to visit Armenia
Late spring and early autumn are ideal, with pleasant temperatures and harvest season in autumn. Summer is hot in Yerevan, while winter is cold and snowy in the mountains.
