Difficulty Rating: Medium
Cost Rating: Low – its only 100 AMD (approx 30 cents) to catch the Marshrutka! But make sure you have correct change (Marshrutka drivers dont like giving change). If you have a lot of luggage they are likely to charge for the luggage space taken as additional fare (100AMD per piece of luggage).
Experience Rating: Unforgetable! Marshrutka’s are a fun way to travel around this part of the world – experience how the locals get around!

Here is a step by step guide:

  • Cross the road from the Sasuntsi Davit Train Station and wait for the Marshrutka’s passing by
  • Catch a Marshrutka (1, 37, 44, or 58) wave for them to stop
  • Tell the driver “Mashtots – Pushkin kaian stop” (Kaian meaning station) – so he knows to point out the correct stop to you.
  • Pay the driver as you get off (currently 100AMD)
  • When you get off the marshrutka cross the road to the opposite side of Mashtots Ave
  • Walk to Pushkin St and turn right into it (towards Parpetsi St)
  • Walk to the first cross road and turn right into Parpetsi Street – as soon as you turn you will see the Envoy Logo sign at the door
  • Good news you are at home !!
