Armenia’s geographical location is very convenient for communication with all the countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the CIS. Many international airlines land in Yerevan. You can take direct flights from Athens, Beirut, Brussels, Doha, Dubai, Istanbul, Kyiv, Moscow, Paris, Prague, Saint Petersburg, Tbilisi, Tehran, Vienna, Warsaw and other cities, as well as numerous connecting flights through these cities. The international airport Zvartnots is situated 7.2 km southwest of the capital Yerevan. Please inform the Organizing Committee of your flight number, date and time of arrival by e-mail not later than 7 working days before the arrival, so that we can welcome you at the Yerevan Zvartnots airport carrying an "LP-2023" sign.

Citizens of the European Union member states, the USA, CIS states and Iran do not need entry visas. Citizens of other countries are advised to contact the nearest Armenian Consulate or Embassy to inquire about visa regulations for your country. You should make your visa application well in advance. If needed, the Organizing Committee will be happy to send official letters of invitation to all participants. The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs invites you to apply for a visa online at http://evisa.mfa.am. It is also possible to arrive in Yerevan without a visa and buy one at the airport (not for all countries, please contact the Organizing Committee for applicability).

Autumn is the best season in Armenia. In September, the weather is usually warm and pleasant, but can be variable; the average temperature is 20o–25oC.

Since September is the highly touristic season in Armenia, it would be better if you make hotel reservations in advance. Single and double rooms are available in hotels of various categories, all located in downtown Yerevan, for example:

• Yerevan Golden Tulip Hotel
• Tufenkian Historic Yerevan Hotel
• Ani Plaza Hotel
• Congress Hotel
• Aviatrans Hotel
• Europe Hotel
• Shirak Hotel
• Envoy Hostel.
