<\/span>TIME ZONE<\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Armenia Time\u00a0(AMT) is a time zone used in\u00a0Armenia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Nagorno-Karabakh<\/a>. Armenia Time is\u00a0at\u00a0UTC+4<\/a>.\u00a0The\u00a0daylight saving time<\/a>\u00a0adjustment, Armenia Summer Time (AMST), was discontinued in 2012.<\/p>\n

<\/span>WEATHER<\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The climate in Armenia is markedly continental. Summers are dry and sunny, lasting from June to mid-September. The temperature fluctuates between 22 and 36\u00a0\u00b0C (72 and 97\u00a0\u00b0F). However, the low humidity level mitigates the effect of high temperatures. Evening breezes blowing down the mountains provide a welcome refreshing and cooling effect. Springs are short, while autumns are long. Autumns are known for their vibrant and colorful foliage.<\/p>\n

It is important to keep yourself hydrated. Drink water and natural juices throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Lightweight clothes are very welcome in summer, but it\u00b4s always good to have mid-season clothes in case of an exception. We remind you, however, that the conference rooms always have air-conditioning.<\/p>\n

<\/span>VOLTAGE AND POWER PLUG<\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]In Armenia the standard voltage is 230 V. The standard frequency is 50 Hz. The power sockets that are used are of type C \/ F.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can use your electric appliances in Armenia, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 220V – 240V (as in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100V – 127V (as in the US, Canada and most South American countries), you need a power converter.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Currency” tab_id=”1436861538469-5-9″]

<\/span>CURRENCY<\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Armenian monetary unit is the Armenian Dram (AMD). In stores and other commercial centers trade is carried out in the national currency only. But there is no problem with the foreign currency exchange, as in many stores and supermarkets there are exchange desks where you can exchange any currency. Exchange rates<\/a> are available online.<\/p>\n

All major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are accepted in many commercial facilities, restaurants and cafes in Yerevan.<\/p>\n
