Pick up a fresh ponchik (custard-filled donut) and a coffee. Grand Candy is a short walk from the base of the Cascades and opens at 10:00, so it is ready well before your climb.
17:00
Cascades, Sculpture Park and Cafesjian Museum
Start your ascent up the Cascades Sculpture Park and Cafesjian Museum. The wide staircases offer great views of the city as you walk. Enjoy the sculptures and the open air.
18:00
Cascades, Sculpture Park and Cafesjian Museum
Find a spot on the upper terraces of the Cascades. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view of the golden light fading over the city. This is the peak moment of the experience.
18:45
Head down to Limone for a relaxed dinner or dessert. Located right by the Cascade, it serves great Napolitano pizzas and fancy drinks, and is open until 00:00, so you can stay as late as you like.
Local tip
The walk down from the Cascades to Limone is short and easy. If you prefer a lighter bite after sunset, Tavern Yerevan is also nearby if you want traditional Armenian cuisine instead.
Check before you go
- Grand Candy opens at 10:00, so arrive after that time.
- Limone is open until midnight, making it a safe bet for a late finish.
- The Cascades is a large complex; take your time exploring the sculpture park on the way up.
