    • I would highly recommend calling a taxi from home when you need to get a ride somewhere since you know the rates beforehand.. For more information on getting a taxi by phone, please refer to my Transportation links Taxi in Yerevan

    If you have no choice and you have to get a taxi in the street, like any other countries, Armenian taxi drivers recognize a tourist in a heart beat.. So you are safe to negotiate a price with the driver before you get in the taxi.. If you're ok with the rate, by all means, get in and enjoy your ride..

    My experience was positive with most taxi drivers.. I tried to utilize the phone a taxi service as much as I could.. Only in two instances I was overcharged and knowingly, I accepted and took the ride anyway..

     Rafi, the cemetery tips really appealed to me (I love cemeteries) and I was especially moved by your suggestion to go when the grieving mothers are there. What a special honor to share this grief, really. Tks...    		missnessa Sat Dec 8, 2007 06:14 UTC
     thanks! Cant find a lonely planet guide book to Armenia, but your tips are making up for it!

     Great stuff. I was there in Oct. 2006 for 4 days and I loved the place. Made the trip to Garni and Geghard but little else. I stayed back after the conference just to spend a full free day in Yerevan. Hopefully I will put up the photos of my visit soon.    		marinarena Wed Nov 15, 2006 21:41 UTC
