Yerevan → Etchmiadzin: key facts

Getting from Yerevan Airport (EVN) to Etchmiadzin takes about 20 min by car on an empty road (20–30 min in heavy traffic) over 12 km via Մ-5. Our private transfer costs €30 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €45 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the public Arrival Hall on the first floor of the passenger terminal, after passport control, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Etchmiadzin, officially the town of Vagharshapat, lies about 12 km west of the airport, so the drive does not enter Yerevan at all. The route follows the M5 road towards Armavir across the flat Ararat plain and passes the ruins of Zvartnots Cathedral, a seventh-century church listed by UNESCO, on the edge of the town. It then turns onto Mesrop Mashtots Street, which leads into the centre of Vagharshapat. There are no road tolls, and traffic on this short stretch is usually light outside the city.

The town is the seat of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The walled grounds of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin contain the cathedral, first built in the early fourth century and often described as one of the oldest cathedrals in the world, together with the residence of the Catholicos, a museum and landscaped gardens. Cars stop at the gates and the complex is visited on foot. The churches of Saint Hripsime and Saint Gayane, listed by UNESCO together with the cathedral, stand a short walk or drive away in the same town, and Sunday services draw large crowds.

Public transport instead: Yerevan municipal bus (route N100) 100 from Zvartnots Airport to Yerevan city centre, every 30 min 06:50–22:00, hourly 22:00–06:50 (airport timetable), 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Etchmiadzin: the airport buses N100 and N201 run to the centre of Yerevan, from where buses and minibuses to Vagharshapat leave from the city; the airport website gives no timetable for this route.
