The Cascade Complex is a massive limestone stairway made up of 572 steps, connecting Yerevan’s downtown to the Monument neighborhood—climb to the top for panoramic views of the city and Mount Ararat, or explore the art and fountains that line each level along the way.
As you make your way up from the Cascade, be sure to drop by and check out Matenadaran, an incredible museum that houses a huge repository of manuscripts with over 23,000 manuscripts, scrolls, and fragments in its collection.
Republic Square is Yerevan’s vibrant city center, surrounded by stunning architecture and iconic buildings—perfect for an evening stroll or people-watching. Don’t miss the magical musical fountain show, which takes place daily from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Just outside Yerevan, the Garni Temple is a stunning 1st-century pagan temple perched above a scenic gorge—Armenia’s only Greco-Roman colonnaded structure and a must-see for history and nature lovers alike.
Vernissage is the perfect place to find handmade crafts, local art, antiques, and unique souvenirs to remember your trip to Armenia.
The street is lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants, featuring a large shopping mall located underground. You can spend an hour or two here to escape the summer heat or simply hang out and people-watch.
