Let's go back to the modern world of Yerevan.
About 5 to 10 minutes walk from Republic Square, there is a giant stairway made by limestones.. . The Cascade.
It was started to built in 1971 and completed in 1980. Inside of it underneath the exterior steps, there are seven escalators that rise along the length of the complex. There are also exhibit halls connected to some of the landings along the escalators which compose the Cafesjian Museum of Modern Art.
Exterior view is also interesting! On top of the giant stairways, you will see the whole city of Yerevan with the beautiful Ararat Mountain. (the view is on top picture)
On the other side of the city there is a pedestrian avenue called North Ave.
The avenue is mainly home to luxurious residential buildings, high-end branded shops, commercial offices, coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs.
There is also two-leveled underground "Tashir Street Shopping Gallery" along the Avenue, with the first level containing the shopping center and the second is for the parking area.
In addition, there is also four more malls in Yerevan. The Yerevan Mall, Dalma Mall, Rossia Mall, and the new Rio Mall.
Is it safe here? Yes! In fact, there is no security check in the front doors of these shopping centers.
