Discover the Thrills of Mtatsminda Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from any location in Kvemo Kartli, take the E60 highway towards Tbilisi. Once you reach Tbilisi, follow signs for the city center. As you approach Old Tbilisi, look for the signs pointing towards Mtatsminda Park. There is a parking area near the entrance of the park, but parking can be limited during weekends. Expect to pay for parking, which typically costs around 2-3 GEL per hour.

• Public Transportation - Minibus

  To use public transportation, find a minibus (marshrutka) heading to Tbilisi. You can catch these from various points in Kvemo Kartli, such as Rustavi. The fare will usually be around 1-2 GEL. Once you arrive at the central bus station in Tbilisi, you can take another minibus or taxi to Mtatsminda Park. Alternatively, you can walk towards the Funicular Railway station located near the city center, which will take you directly up to the park.

• Public Transportation - Funicular

  If you prefer to take the Funicular Railway, once you reach Tbilisi city center, make your way to the Funicular Railway station located at the base of Mtatsminda. The fare for the Funicular is approximately 3 GEL for a round trip. The Funicular ride offers stunning views of the city as you ascend to Mtatsminda Park.

• Walking

  For those who enjoy walking, if you are already in Old Tbilisi, you can hike up to Mtatsminda Park. The walk is scenic but can be steep in parts. It takes roughly 30-45 minutes to walk up, depending on your pace. Ensure you have comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.
