One day: within 45 minutes of the city
Garni and Geghard
An ancient temple and a rock-cut monastery, 29 and 38 km away. Half a day is enough. More: Garni and Geghard by car.
Echmiadzin
The mother cathedral, 21 km and about half an hour away. The shortest trip on the list and easy to fit around other plans.
Khor Virap
A monastery facing Ararat, 42 km and about 42 minutes. Works as a trip on its own or as the first stop heading south.
One day of rental covers any of these. You can also pair two, for example Echmiadzin in the morning and Khor Virap after lunch.
Two days: the north and the lake
Sevan and Dilijan
Sevanavank at 69 km, Dilijan at 97 km. The loop can be done in a day, but a night away is more relaxed. More: Sevan and Dilijan by car.
Tsaghkadzor
A mountain resort 57 km away, about an hour's drive. Good for a weekend with a night there; see hotels in Tsaghkadzor.
Two to three days: the south and Gyumri
Tatev
248 km and 3 h 45 min of pure driving each way. You will need a night away, and check the mileage terms. More: Tatev by car.
Jermuk
A mineral spa town 170 km away, about 2 h 40 min by OSRM. A handy overnight on the way south: hotels in Jermuk.
Gyumri
Armenia's second city, 121 km and about 2 hours. Rent in Yerevan or locally: car rental in Gyumri.
Where to get the car and how not to overpay
- Rent in Yerevan: on 23.10.2026 GetRentacar had 261 offers there. The Zvartnots airport page showed no cars that day, so if you are flying in, ask a Yerevan owner whether they can bring the car to you.
- Count days, not kilometres: a day trip is one day of rental, a weekend with a night away is two.
- Bookings can be cancelled for free, which helps if weekend plans change.
- Renting is allowed from 18, but it costs more under 25.
