Practical items

It is very important to bring sunscreen. Yerevan lies at an altitude of 700-1100 metres and you can quickly get sunburned.

Some people may prefer to take a hat for sun protection.

Bring all the prescription drugs you believe you will need. Bring enough for the entire stay and leave them in their original marked containers.

Bring some basic medication such as ibuprofen, Tylenol or aspirin and anti-diarrhoea medication such as Imodium.

Bring enough lens cleaning solution for your entire visit and maybe a spare set of eyeglasses. If you are prone to car sickness, please bring medication for it.

In Armenia, particularly in Yerevan, pharmacies and bigger supermarkets carry these items, but that might not be the case in other parts of the country.
