If you’re thinking about being a digital nomad in Yerevan, this digital nomad guide to Yerevan outlines all you need to know from living costs to the best areas to stay and much more. Armenia often gets overlooked in favor of its neighbor Georgia, but this destination is perfect for remote working.
I’ve been a digital nomad in Armenia for the last four months and will be returning to live there for the rest of the summer. The laid-back capital of Yerevan has a vibrant cafe culture, lots of places for remote working, a thriving nightlife, excellent food, and plenty to see and do in and around the city.
In your downtime, you can explore Armenia’s rich history, visit vineyards and ancient temples, climb mountains, and lose yourself in some of the most spectacular nature you’ll find anywhere in the world. Armenians are incredibly hospitable and you’ll be sure to make plenty of friends while living there, just like I have.

In the center, you’ll find the Cascade; a series of marble steps climbing a steep hillside above the city – the views across the rooftops from here to Aratat are incredible. There are plenty of co-working spaces across the city offering good WiFi speeds.
There are lots of interesting places to visit near Yerevan including the monastery at Khor Virap with incredible views of Ararat, Garni Pagan Temple which rivals the Parthenon in Athens, and the majestic Lake Sevan; a highland lake dotted with temples and monasteries that’s the perfect place for hiking and swimming.
