General notes
Système de santé correct à Yerevan, plus limité en zone rurale. Assurance voyage recommandée. Le mal d'altitude est possible sur les cols et sentiers de haute montagne.
Women travelers
Armenia is safe for solo women travelers. Yerevan is relaxed; in rural areas, more covering clothing aligns with conservative customs and avoids insistent stares.
LGBTQ+ travelers
Society remains conservative. No targeted violence reported but discretion advised; Yerevan has a few discreet bars. Public displays of affection may surprise.
