Armenia

There are several modes of transportation to get around within Armenia. One option is by bus, with intercity buses connecting major cities and towns. Another option is by taxi, which can be hailed on the street or booked through an app. For a more scenic experience, you can take a train, such as the Yerevan-Gyumri route or the Yerevan-Tbilisi route. If you prefer driving, car rental companies are available in major cities. However, be aware that roads outside of major cities can be narrow and winding. Lastly, for a unique experience, consider taking a marshrutka, which is a shared minibus commonly used by locals to travel within and between towns.
