Connecting
If you have a smartphone that supports eSIM (electronic SIM), then you can use veloeSIM to download an app and activate internet access on your phone in Armenia for an affordable rate. Check out their site at: https://veloesim.com
If you want a phone number in Armenia in addition, or your smartphone does not support eSIM, there are three major mobile operators, namely "Team Telecom", "VivaCell", and "Ucom". SIM cards can be purchased at several locations. These include the "Zvartnots" International Airport, the official offices of the aforementioned operators in the center of Yerevan, or at big stores. All that's required is a copy of your passport.
Local transportation is mostly handled via taxis, which are relatively cheap. It is best to install the YandexGo app on your smartphone to order taxis wherever you are in the country.

About Dilijan
Situated in the north-east of Armenia, the resort town of Dilijan is ideally secluded from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet just a one and a half-hour drive from downtown Yerevan. Dilijan nestles in forested mountains with a temperate climate, fresh air, and mineral water springs. Lush forests of the Dilijan National Park, Lake Parz, and the 13th-century monastic complexes of Haghartsin and Goshavanq create a unique environment for spiritual harmony and awakening.
The people of Dilijan are gentle, friendly, and cosmopolitan. For centuries, they have been exposed to different cultures and religions. Armenian traditional arts and crafts are at the heart of the town’s everyday life. One can visit many of the artisans’ stores and learn about the process. Due to long-lived traditions, Dilijan’s art gallery hosts a great collection of paintings and sculptures of famous artists.
Lavish opportunities for outdoor recreational activities include mountain hiking and biking. Enjoying an evening with friends in one of the many local gourmet restaurants would guarantee a memorable experience. The famous local gourmet cuisine is rich with the local organic vegetables, dairies, and meat products.
The Central Bank Research and Training Centre in Dillijan
The Central Bank of Armenia is a visionary institution with a continuous drive for excellence. The Bank has always been at the forefront of evidence-based decision-making. The ambition to be at the cutting edge of scientific and applied research led to the establishment of a research and training centre. Dilijan was chosen as a natural destination for our new, state-of-the-art research centre, and we have merged into a true natural alliance with the town. On the one side stands the Central Bank-a forward-looking, merit-based, and socially-responsible institution, and on the other—Dilijan - an organic, clean, and calm city.
