Yerevan is the capital of Armenia.

Hitchhiking out

Hitchhiking out of town is pretty easy. Be careful of people who are actually taxis and want you to pay. But people stop relatively easily.

South towards Ararat, Goris, Iran

First, take the metro to the 2nd last station (the station in the south where the last 2 stations are in split directions), from here, ask around for where to catch bus 104 - make sure it is in direction Ararat. Take it until it gets onto the main road, which then splits pretty soon. The bus continues straight, the road to Ararat goes right - you want to get off here. Then, start hitching!

East towards Sevan, Diljian

From the city center, or Yeritasardakan metro station, walk along Abovyan Street in direction north. When you reach a roundabout, take the second exit to the motorway. You will see a huge bridge, right behind it is a nice hitchhiking spot.

West or North (Gyumri, Vanadzor, Georgia)

Take marshrutka no. 18, i.e. from France Square. After a while you'll pass some very ugly appartment blocks and then leave the city. This is the main road out of town, nice place to hitchhike. Make sure you get off right in time as the marshrutka will leave the main road for some villages.
