Getting around by train Yerevan

Yerevan's only central railway station, a beautiful Soviet building topped by a spire, is located on Sassountsi Tavit Square (the metro of the same name), recognizable by the equestrian statue of the mythical hero Tavit of Sassoun, by the here very well known Soviet sculptor Yervant Kotchar. It runs idle with a few regional trains to Sevan and an international train to Tbilisi and Batoum, daily in summer. A Russian company is bringing the network up to standard and since 2018 an electric train has been connecting Yerevan to Gyumri in just 2 hours.
