Most tourists, and the residents of Yerevan themselves, do not miss the opportunity to stroll along the Grand Cascade, sit on benches between stairwells and admire the fountains, magnificent views of the city and Ararat, and the higher it is, the more admirable it is.
The cascade is a kind of decoration of the city with a very original architectural solution. It resembles a huge multi-tiered Babylonian pyramid, which, with the help of large stairs, connects the city center lying in the lowland with a residential area located on the hills.
In the lower part of the Cascade there is a wide square 200 meters long, at the beginning of which there is a sculpture of the author of the project, bent over his work, Tamanyan.
Not far from the monument there is a funny sculpture “Black Cat”, and throughout the square you can find many different interesting sculptures, such as “Smoking lady”, “Antelopes in a jump”, “Steps”, “Roman warrior”, etc.
The cascade is 500 meters long and 50 meters wide. An escalator runs inside the Cascade, which rises to two-thirds of the height of the structure, making it easier to climb. And the staircase itself now has 740 steps. On each terrace, water flows from numerous pipes, there are fountains, well-groomed flower beds, and there are cafes, restaurants, exhibition galleries, etc. on the premises.
It can be said that the entire cascade is an open-air museum of modern art. Admission is free, but visiting the museums located inside on different floors is paid. Tickets are sold on the ground floor, so it's better to buy them right downstairs so as not to run up and down.
On each floor there are various art objects, museums and exhibition halls. On the ground floor there is a souvenir shop where you can buy your favorite souvenirs. On the top floor there is a museum of art glass.
Museums and galleries are open Tue-Thu from 10:00-17:00, Fri-Sun from 10:00-20:00, Monday is a day off.
The Cascade is especially beautiful in the evening, when all the illuminations turn on.
