Cascade Complex
Yerevan's Cascade Complex - an enormous white stairwell built
into the hillside, replete with flowing water fountains to mimic a
natural cascade - links Yerevan's CBD with the Monument
Neighbourhood at the top of the hill, and is an important cultural
hub in Armenia's capital city. The awe-inspiring structure is not
only ideal photo fodder, but also plays host to a variety of free
cultural events that operate year-round, from music concerts, to
art exhibitions, and more. Although construction on the Cafesjian
Museum of Contemporary Art is still ongoing, there are already
numerous sculptures on display at the monument - including two by
Fernando Botero. The Cascade Complex is a wonderful place to walk,
jog or bike around, while soaking up magnificent views of Mount
Ararat and Yerevan's city centre.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Armenian is the official language, and it has its own
alphabet. Russian is widely spoken and English is becoming more
prominent.
Money
The official currency of Armenia is the Dram (AMD), which is
divided into 100 lumas. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks
as well as many hotels, with US dollars the most widely recognised
and easily changed, although notes should be in good condition.
Credit cards are not widely accepted other than in some large
hotels and restaurants. Travellers cheques should be in US dollars
to avoid additional charges and there are few ATMs in Yerevan,
including HSBC. It is advisable to carry plenty of small change in
local currency as shops and markets will often not have change.
Time
Local time in Armenia is GMT +4.
