Destination-specific money tips
- •While cards are common in Yerevan, always have some AMD cash for smaller shops, markets, and rural areas.
- •ATMs are widely available and generally offer good exchange rates. Avoid standalone ATMs in very remote locations if possible.
- •Tipping is appreciated but not always expected. For good service in restaurants, 5-10% is customary. Taxi drivers don't typically expect tips.
- •Armenian brandy and wine are excellent and relatively inexpensive, making them great souvenirs.
- •Public transport within Yerevan is very affordable, but taxis (especially via apps) are also budget-friendly for short distances.
