"Yerevan-Moscow". "Moscow - Yerevan" (airplane). "Moscow - Yerevan" (bus)

A large number of flights are sent daily from the capital of Armenia along the route "Yerevan-Moscow". The direction enjoys great popularity among tourists, as well as Armenians, who periodically go to work in Russia. Several airlines servicing the route do not even try to compete with each other, as the passenger traffic here is large and enough for everyone.

Yerevan

Travelers daily depart to the capital of Armenia - Yerevan, this settlement is one of the oldest on Earth. Earlier he was called Erivan, he received his present name in 1936. According to data for 2014, the city is home to more than a million people. Historians believe that the settlement, from which Yerevan later came, was established in 782 BC, then the settlement of Erebuni was founded here.

Unfortunately, in the capital of Armenia, a small number of architectural monuments of the past have been preserved, but it is still possible to realize their significance. Before leaving on the route "Yerevan-Moscow", it is worth to visit all local excursions to the sights of the city. Over the past few years, the city has formed a large tourist infrastructure that allows you to enjoy a great holiday and high-quality service.

Moscow

I must say that tourists from Armenia are also willing to fly to Moscow to get acquainted with its history and sights. Several hours of travel on the route "Yerevan - Moscow", and the newly arrived tourist descends from the plane's ramp in the hope of seeing absolutely all the delights of the Russian capital. Most guests of the capital use the services of a taxi because of its convenience, and also because it is possible to meet a native of Armenia, who will be able to talk in one language.

Despite the fact that Armenia, as far back as 1991, separated from the USSR, its residents actively support cultural and business contacts with Russians. That is why the guests from Yerevan can often be met in the capital's business centers, restaurants, as well as at various exhibitions, symposiums and meetings dedicated to the development of entrepreneurship.

Distance between two cities

If you are going to go on the route "Yerevan - Moscow", the distance is the first, from which you need to start preparing for the trip. Of course, a lot here will also depend on what kind of transport you plan to use. When traveling on motorways, you will have to overcome a little over 2300 kilometers, together with crossing the border and rest, the trip can take about three days one way.

Another option is train travel, but here there are difficulties, in particular, the lack of direct communication between Russia and Armenia. If you go with transfers, the total travel time will be about 4 days, and the mileage is about 3.5 thousand kilometers. The least distance between Yerevan and Moscow will have to be overcome when flying by plane - only about 1800 kilometers.

Bus ride

One of the vehicles used by the passengers of the Moscow-Yerevan route is bus. The average duration of the movement varies from 39 to 48 hours, with the bus stopping in major cities and towns. Bus passengers can sleep on the road, watch TV. If you need to charge portable devices you need to approach the driver.

The fare in this case can vary greatly, it all depends on the speed of the bus and its comfort. As of November 2015, it ranges from 2 to 2.7 thousand rubles. Each route has different destinations, so they need to be clarified by visiting the local bus stations.

And you can and on the plane!

The fastest means of transportation on the route Moscow-Yerevan is an airplane, the maximum travel time on it is about 3 hours. Every day more than 30 flights run between two cities, Aeroflot, S7, UTair and Ural Airlines are engaged in this direction, the average flight interval is 30-50 minutes.

All departures are carried out mainly from Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo, all of them arrive at Zvartnots airport. The second airport, existing in Yerevan, Erebuni, is primarily engaged in servicing military aircraft, helicopters, and also some types of civilian aircraft.

The airline Utair is the only one whose liners fly along the route "Yerevan - Moscow (Vnukovo). Every day, only one flight is carried out, the route uses Boeing aircraft. If to speak in general, the cost of the flight from Moscow to Yerevan ranges from 8 to 35 thousand rubles, in the opposite direction - from 9 to 42 thousand.

Or maybe by train?

Alas, there is no direct railway communication on the route "Yerevan-Moscow". The reason for this is simple - the only branch that connects the two countries, passes through Georgia and Abkhazia, and does not work because of the conflict between the two countries. You can find a workaround, but you have to travel about 4 days with transfers and spend an amount comparable to buying a plane ticket.

Railway communication Armenia supports with Georgia, so you can try to get to Tbilisi, and then take train number 371/372. The cost of travel documents and the current schedule is best clarified at the railway ticket offices, as they change periodically. As a rule, railroad children receive discounts for children.

Travel by car

If Moscow-Yerevan bus trips, travel by plane and train do not appeal to you, you can go to Armenia by your own car. In this case it is necessary to prepare the car in advance for travel, and also to be reserved for additional finances in case of unforeseen circumstances. A large number of SRTs are on the way to Yerevan, but the distances between them can be quite substantial.

When you enter Armenia, you will need to provide the driver's certificate of the international standard and the technical passport of the vehicle in addition to the basic documents. If you rented a car, you will also have to submit a contract with the rental company or a power of attorney from the owner of the vehicle. All documents must be translated into Russian. At customs, you need to issue a permit to import the vehicle, and pay the customs fee, when leaving, respectively, will have to issue a similar document, but already for the export of the vehicle. All this takes an average of 2 hours, the exact time depends on how busy the border control is.

Conclusion

As in Moscow, and in Yerevan, you can find a huge number of classes. Visiting excursions, trekking through cultural and mass institutions, clubs and discotheques - you will have plenty of time in both capitals. Russians and Armenians treat each other fairly friendly, while both nations prefer to root for each other in various competitions (World Cups, Eurovision, etc.).

Travelers should bear in mind that absolutely different currencies are used on the territory of both countries, 1 Russian ruble is equal to 7-8 Armenian drams. You can exchange the currency in advance, but in this case it is recommended that you familiarize yourself in advance with the rules of its importation into the territory of the country where you are going. Have a nice trip!
