Yerevan is the safest and the most comfortable city I've lived in or been to. I've also lived in Kyiv, Moscow, Rostov-on-Don and been to dozens of cities across Europe and Asia. Yerevan is only comparable to Japanese cities, everything else is not even close. 5 year old kids can play outside at 1 am and will be safe.

Only type of crime that you can encounter in Yerevan on somewhat regular basis are money scams (mostly on the internet). But those are so dumb and easy to avoid that I don't even know what to say if you get scammed by those. If you get scammed by a taxi driver because you paid them in cash in 2024 that's probably a you problem. Police works better than in any eastern european country.

I’m not sure about the honesty of this review since I can easily do 60 questionnaires on my own in one or two days. in fact, you can encounter people’s temper in Armenia, especially when a person has some kind of status and can easily command you because of this “after all, that’s how it is done here.” Just as often, the police do not open criminal cases or put pressure on victims to close them. Money scams are common: do not change money to people on the street. Paying for a taxi in cash is also fraught with the risk that they will catch up with you and say that you gave a counterfeit bill that the taxi driver took out of his pocket.

Also the club atmosphere is amazing in Armenia but there is a catch...you cant get in a club without a girl...if your a man you gotta have a girl with you...even if its 5 guys and 4 girls one guy cant come...its becsuse "women of the night" are very rare in Armenia and usually if u find one they are russian or from some other country..the women are beyond beautiful.

I was born in LA and so was my father...but he moved to Armenia and married my mom and had my sister than came back to LA...i visited Armenia for the first time back in 2018 before the plandemic started...its beyond beautiful..ppl are hospitable...and yes in every neighborhood you will find children playing till 11pm with no adult supervision...thays just how it is...if you mess with someones kid you will be an outcast if not killed...so it just doesnt happen...plus Armenians are very into their children so safety is obviously #1...Armenia is great...friends over there are there for each other like ive never seen

As a female, Yerevan is one of the safest cities I’ve been too and felt comfortable walking by myself at night!

To "Richard". Give your full name then if you are not just a lier. Car robbing is practically IMPOSSIBLE in Yerevan. Don't be shy, maybe your 22 cars were robbed and you declare only 2. Lier!!

Richard on Sep 17, 2021:

Hah! I have two cars in Yerevan both robbed. Untill now the police is not able to find the criminals.
