Let’s start with a few things about Yerevan. The capital of Armenia is located only 12 kilometers from the Turkish border. It is interesting that it is one of the longest inhabited cities in the world and therefore you will find many architectural and cultural monuments. What should you not miss during his visit?

• Republic Square is the first place you should definitely visit. Mainly because it serves as a guidepost to some other sights, such as History Museum, National Gallery, Town Hall or Hotel Mariott. Do not miss the singing fountain.

• Charles Aznavour Square is another square that is worth a visit. It serves primarily as a „meeting point“, which means that there are many cozy cafes and restaurants.

• We recommend the Yerevan Cascade to all lovers of art and architecture. The 5 floors offer sculptures, flowers and fountains. The city view from the top floor is priceless.

Basic information about the metro in Yerevan

The Yerevan Metro was first opened in 1981 as the 8th subway system in the Soviet Union. The entire route is 13.4 kilometers long and due to the uneven surface of the city, some stations also run above the ground. It is one of the cleanest subway in the world. The influence of the Soviet Union is particularly evident in the decoration of individual stations.

Taxi

There is also a taxi in the city. You can call him only on the street or in the places where the taxi is usually standing. For us Europeans, it is a relatively inexpensive way of transport, and taxis are on every corner. However, it is important to arrange the price in advance, otherwise, you are at risk that your local taxi drivers will get you more money than you would like.

• Baku Boulevard is especially popular with lovers of walks, sunsets, and cafes with sea views.

• For a longer sightseeing tour, it is worth visiting the Old Town, which is the only sight of the Middle Ages. The picturesque narrow streets, in contrast to the high-rise buildings of the new city, will undoubtedly enchant you.

• On the other hand, the most beautiful monument of the new city is Flame Towers, three modern buildings in the shape of a flame that will enchant you both day and night.

Basic information about the metro in Baku

Baku Metro is one of the most important transport systems in Azerbaijan and is the first underground transport in the Islamic country. Currently, 25 stations are active, spread over 3 lines – red, green and recently opened purple. Their route is 36.63 km long. The metro was first opened in 1957 as the 5th metro system in the Soviet Union. Originally only 5 stations worked.

Ticket price

Since 2015, fares have been unified on all lines and old tickets have been replaced by modern „BakiKart“ cards. These can be conveniently purchased from a vending machine at all metro stations. They must also be conquered at the same locations, depending on how many rides you want to take. The advantage of this card is that it can be used in bus transport to any BakuBus. The card can be acquired in two ways. Either for 45 days, for less than 1 EUR or you can buy 1-4 rides for the price of 10 euro cents.

While early in the morning and in the afternoon, the metro runs regularly every 3 to 6 minutes, on weekends, or at a time that is not too busy, you will also wait for a good hour. You can find the exact schedule on the spot without any problems.

Bus transportation

Rather than the traditional bus service, you will find here the minibusses, the so-called „marshrutka“, which are typical of the countries of the former Soviet Union. The specificity of these buses is that they have no fixed stops, but they stop at a sign at the main roads or at a place that you arrange in advance.

Since 2014, the “BakuBus” also operates here, providing transportation throughout the city. You will use the same fare as the metro. Timetable information is easy to find on-site.

There is also a taxi in the city. You can call him only on the street or in the places where the taxi is usually standing.

Is it possible to transport a bicycle in the metro?

Yes, it actually is. But it is necessary to consider your surrounding and to not bother them with your bicycle. There is a place designated for those with bicycles and it is the end of the last car of each train. It is advised to hold the bicycle rather tight, to minimize the damage in case of unexpected braking. It is also important to say, that to transport the bicycle in the metro, you have to be at least 12 years old.

How much it actually costs?

It will come as a good news for many of you, but an only regular ticket is needed and there is no obligation to pay anything extra. You can, however, be fined, if you endanger other passengers while transporting your bike.

Use of elevators

It is fairly common knowledge, that bicycles and elevators do not go together. Some elevators are specifically modified to allow you to enter them with your bicycle. These elevators are in stations Skalka, Černý most, Letňany, Pankrác, Prosek, Střížkov, Ládví, Chodov a Háje. We urge you, however, to be extra careful to not harm anyone or to not damage the elevator.
