Money & costs
How much does Dilijan cost?
The currency is the Armenian dram. Cards are accepted at hotels, the larger restaurants and some shops in the historic quarter, but acceptance is noticeably patchier than in Yerevan and small guesthouses, taxis, roadside stalls and workshops frequently want cash. ATMs exist in the town centre but are far fewer than in the capital and can be out of service, so draw cash before arriving rather than relying on finding a machine. Foreign cards generally work at Armenian bank ATMs, usually with a fixed fee per withdrawal. Nothing here requires large sums, but assume you will need cash daily.
Budget
Roughly 18,000–30,000 AMD per person per day as of September 2026, covering a simple guesthouse with breakfast, eating modestly and walking rather than taking taxis.
Mid-range
Roughly 35,000–70,000 AMD per person per day as of September 2026, covering a comfortable hotel or characterful guesthouse, restaurant meals and a half-day taxi for the monasteries.
Luxury
From roughly 100,000 AMD per person per day as of September 2026, covering resort-standard accommodation, private driver and guided walking.
