How the Yerevan metro is laid out
The Yerevan metro has one line and ten stations, making it a compact system to plan around. The metro operator describes the railway as 12.1 km long.
The operator’s station sequence is Barekamutyun, Marshal Baghramyan, Yeritasardakan, Republic Square, Zoravar Andranik, Sasuntsi David, Shengavit, Gortsaranayin, Garegin Nzhdeh Square and Charbakh. Use those names to match your destination with the metro map and identify the station that best fits your plans.
Which Yerevan metro stations are useful for visitors?
Republic Square is one of the named stations on the metro line, alongside Barekamutyun, Marshal Baghramyan and Yeritasardakan. The full sequence also includes Zoravar Andranik, Sasuntsi David, Shengavit, Gortsaranayin, Garegin Nzhdeh Square and Charbakh.
Before setting out, find your destination on a current Yerevan metro map and check which station name corresponds to it. The line’s ten stations make it possible to keep your route planning focused on the station you need, rather than treating the metro as a large network with multiple lines.
How do you get to a metro station from Inga Hotel Yerevan?
Barekamutyun is about 35 minutes on foot or 11 minutes by car from Inga Hotel Yerevan. Use Barekamutyun as your starting point when planning a metro journey from the hotel area, and check your destination against the station list before leaving.

How can you plan onward journeys around Yerevan?
Start by matching your destination to one of the ten station names, then check the operating hours and the train interval for the day and time you plan to travel.
If the metro is only part of your route, the shared ticket system also covers buses and trolleybuses, so you can consider those modes for the rest of the journey.
For airport arrival planning, the guide to getting from Zvartnots Airport to the hotel area covers that trip separately. Once in the city, use the metro station list and current ticket details to shape journeys around your own stops.
