Alaverdi, Armenia, offers limited walkability, primarily concentrated along the Debed River in its central area. However, the town's division by a cliff into upper and lower sections makes walking between different parts challenging, and most errands might require a vehicle. While essential services might be accessible by foot if you are staying in the central zone, navigating beyond this area on foot can be difficult. Travelers should be prepared to use transport for broader exploration and accessing more distant attractions.

As a regional transport hub, Alaverdi provides fairly extensive public transportation options, particularly through marshrutkas (minibuses) that connect to major destinations like Yerevan and Tbilisi. Within the town, local buses like bus #3 and marshrutka #5 provide convenient routes, particularly along the Debed River. However, travelers might encounter unreliable timetables, and the train doesn't stop in Alaverdi, which can limit travel convenience. Nonetheless, public transport is generally sufficient for visiting local sites and nearby regions.

Biking in Alaverdi is challenging due to its hilly, canyon terrain, with roads that are winding and occasionally congested. While some cycling routes exist in the broader Lori region, biking is not common locally, and the infrastructure is not well-developed for cyclists. This makes biking more viable for experienced cyclists who are comfortable with hills and possibly navigating busy roads, but less ideal for travelers looking for casual, everyday biking options.
