Armenia
Is Armenia safe to visit? Advice, scams and health
Armenia is generally safe for tourists, but check your own government's travel advisory before booking anything near the Azerbaijan border. In cities, watch for taxi overcharging and pickpocketing in crowded markets. Confirm border-zone advice and current conditions before you travel, and carry travel insurance for mountain driving and remote areas.
