Where Is Armenia Located?
Armenia lies on the Armenian Highlands in the South Caucasus. The country has no coastline, and much of its territory sits at high elevation. Yerevan occupies part of the Ararat Valley, while eastern Armenia contains Lake Sevan and extensive mountain country.
- North: Georgia, towards Tbilisi.
- East: Azerbaijan, with sensitive border areas.
- South: Iran, beyond Syunik province.
- West: Turkey, across the western frontier.
Mount Ararat is a prominent landmark visible from parts of Armenia, but the mountain itself is in Turkey. Armenia's highest mountain is Mount Aragats, northwest of Yerevan.
Armenia's Provinces and Main Areas

Roads, Transport and Travel
Yerevan is the main hub for road travel and international air arrivals. Zvartnots International Airport serves the capital, while highways connect Yerevan with Gyumri, Lake Sevan and the southern provinces. Armenia also has rail services on selected corridors, including routes to Georgia, but coverage is limited compared with the road network.
Mountain roads, winter weather and border restrictions can affect travel. The embedded map is useful for orientation, not real-time routing. Check current official travel advice and transport arrangements before planning journeys near international borders.
