Your Expat Community in Yerevan

Expat Life & Facts about the Local Economy in Yerevan

As the cultural and economic capital of Armenia, and one of Europe's oldest cities, Yerevan is certainly not lacking for culture. Theaters, galleries, and live music venues provide a seemingly endless variety of entertainment for residents, while ancient museums and monuments serve as a reminder of Armenia's storied past. Key industries such as construction, manufacturing, and wine production draw a wide range of expat talent to the city, while a prime location on the shores of the Hrazdan River allows for large-scale production of hydroelectricity. Living standards in Yerevan are generally high, and a noticeably cosmopolitan middle class populates the trendy bars and high-fashion boutiques of the city center. The city is also an excellent base for exploring the Armenian countryside, with attractions such as Lake Sevan, Mt. Aragats and Vayots Dzor just a short distance away. Armenian and Russian are the most widely spoken languages, but English is also understood by most younger Armenians, and job opportunities at English-speaking companies can be found with a little research and a lot of persistence.
