About
In the very center of Yerevan, on the busy Khorenatsi Street, sits the colorful and noisy GUM market, where the aromas of spices, the sounds of trade, and the bright colors of the goods all mix together. GUM offers a huge selection of goods for every taste and budget. Here you will find fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, cheeses, spices, dried fruit, nuts, honey, wines, brandies, souvenirs, handmade items, and much more.
GUM was built in the 1970s and was originally called the "Covered Market." It was one of the largest markets in Yerevan, where you could buy almost anything — from food to clothing and household appliances. Today GUM is one of Yerevan's landmarks, a place where you can talk with the vendors, taste everything, and discover the flavor and aroma of Armenia.

- 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.
- 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.
