About

Yerevan Zoo, in the capital of Armenia, draws both locals and visitors. Founded in 1941 and rebuilt with landscape design in 2015, it is home to animals representing 300 species, including mammals, birds, invertebrates, reptiles, and fish. Yerevan Zoo offers a chance to see the diversity of wildlife, from native Caucasian species to exotic animals from around the world. You can see both common and unusual specimens, including Egyptian fruit bats and other rare species. The zoo also offers interactive programs that let visitors not only watch the animals but also take part in feeding them. This helps visitors learn more about animal behavior and habits. On the zoo grounds there are children's rides, sculptures, and cafes. On holidays, shows with special programs are held here.

Car (your own or rental): In short: before renting, decide whether you actually need a car for your route, season, and driving experience.

What to consider: city traffic vs mountain and winter sections; insurance and deposit terms; where to park near your destination. There are many cameras on the roads; check fines and payment against the rental rules and local regulations — don't put it off "until you leave the country" without checking the contract.

A common mistake: renting a car "just in case" without checking the season and the return trip from a remote location.

Next: between cities.

Taxi: In short: around the city it's convenient to order a car through an available app. For a remote place, plan your return in advance.

What to do: agree on the wait, the trip back, and the price before you set off; have a backup way to pay.

Common mistake: going "one way only" with no plan for how to get back in the evening or without a signal.

Next: between cities.
