1. How to Access ___


The most convenient way to visit Armenia is by air through the Zvartnots International Airport, located just outside of Yerevan, and Shirak Airport in Gyumri. Under new management, Zvartnots International Airport is undergoing a welcome makeover that will transform the airport into a world-class facility. Among the major airlines operating in Armenia are Armavia Airlines, Air France, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Czech Airlines, Lufthansa Airlines, Aeroflot-Russian Airlines.

Overland road routes and rail links connect Armenia with its neighbour countries. Currently, borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan are closed. Two highway routes and one rail-link provide access through Georgia to the Black Sea Ports of Batumi and Poti. Additionally, there is one route south through Iran to the Persian Gulf. Armenia has made great strides in its road network, with significant investment resulting in nearly all the main highways to be paved and in good condition. The main railway station in Armenia, the Sasuntsi Davit Station connects the capital city with several large towns of Armenia as well as Tbilisi and Batumi (Georgia).
