How to Get to Armavir by Plane, Train, Bus, Taxi or Transfer

Armavir is a city with a unique history and rich cultural heritage. For centuries, it has been home to various peoples, including Armenians, Greeks, Romans, and Persians. Once the capital of Armenia, this city is still worth a visit today. Here’s how you can get to Armavir comfortably and affordably. Along the way, we’ll share some friendly tips on where to stay, what to eat, and what sights to see.

First, let’s answer the question of how far it is from Yerevan to Armavir: just 45 kilometers. You can get there by:

• Plane
• Train
• Bus

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to fly by route. But you can buy a ticket to Yerevan. This is the most convenient way for those looking to get to Armavir from other countries.

How to get from Zvartnots airport to Armavir

What do you do after the plane has landed? There are two options.

The first is to meet bus #201 at the airport. It goes straight to the Central Bus Station of Kilikia. At the bus station, you need to change to minibus #207 or bus #206 and get to Armavir.

Travel time: about 2 hours.
Cost: 650 drams (including the bus from the airport).

The second option is to take a taxi right at the airport or pre-book a GoTrip transfer. The advantage of the transfer is that you choose the driver and car on the website in advance. You don’t need to make a deposit: if your plans change, the cancellation will be for free. The driver comes to the airport to pick you up and meets you with a name sign in the arrival area. Even if the flight is late, he will 100% wait for you and help you to get to Armavir safely.

Travel time: about 50 minutes.
Cost: from 21,100 AMD per car.
