Rising 770 meters above sea level, Mtatsminda is more than just a scenic spot; it's a historical and cultural landmark.

Today, Mtatsminda Park features an amusement park with a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and water slides. The iconic Tbilisi TV Tower stands nearby. Visitors can explore the Mtatsminda Pantheon, the final resting place of many of Georgia's most celebrated figures. The park also offers restaurants, cafes, and relaxation areas.
