- jbg74Saint Paul, Minnesota1,094 contributionsGreat Views of the CityThere are some great views of the city from here and the TV tower looks pretty cool. Someone was going to refurbish the TV tower and turn it into a restaurant but COVID stopped it. It would be pretty cool to be able to go up the TV tower.Visited November 2023Traveled soloWritten November 20, 2023

Don't forget to take the funicular a uphill train that goes at a 45 degree angle uphill yet very safe and relaxing even suitable for light hearted. Once you reach there you can take some jaw aching photos , spend some time in the theme park or indulge in some street foods.Visited December 2023Traveled with friendsWritten June 6, 2024

This place is scenic and gives a good panoramic view of the city below. it has very well landscaped gardens. We also visited the restaurant there which has a seating overlooking the city below. This is the place where we had Ponchuki (Russian desert) and got hooked on to it! We packed a few to carry it back to India :)Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 13, 2024

It is worth visiting especially with the kids. Be advised that card charge can be done only at the cable tram cashier, otherwise you will have to be back if you want to participate in some attractions. 2 buses are coming there as well, is is not far away at all.

Take the funicular up (which by itself is already an experience), for about 21 GEL (retour).
You arrive with a restaurant to your right and a café to your left you feel like trying either, or just go straight ahead into the park.
It's a (somewhat dated) amusement park with mostly rides for kids, but it's well maintained and fun to have a look at even if you don't have children. (The rides are paid individually).
There's plenty of places where you can get food and because you're on top of the hill, great panorama's all around.
If this isn't high enough for you get, take the ferris wheel. Bring a coat cause it does get windy.

The mountain offers excellent views over the city from several vantage points. You can hike up the mountain, take the funicular or the bus. Attractions on the mountain include the pantheon and the amusement park. A tall TV tower is a prominent landmark. Apart from the attractions and the views, the mountain is also famous for its greenery. It is a great place to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the big city below.

I did not find this place that special as for me the views from Narikala Fortress were better. Since it is not so high, you can see the city better. Mtatsminda is located quite high, you need to go about 10-15 minutes on car uphill, so the city looks small from above and there are many trees blocking it. Furthermore, I saw only the amusement park there which is nothing special if you are not a child. There is a restaurant with views and of course many street vendors for food and souvenirs. For a tourist it is not so interesting, I think this activity is more for inhabitants of Tbilisi looking for a rest from the city center.

A bit overrated. The amusement park could be an ideal for kids, but the price for each amusement ride is slightly high. Some games and machines of the park are seemingly abandoned and not properly maintained. The two caterings within the funicular building are rather unmatchingly high-class and non-family friendly. Everything seems to be put together in a rather weird mix. Overall speaking, the experience is not enjoyable at all.

I went with family in winter. At the top of a beautiful garden available with breathtaking city view. In summer ,this place is an enterment feast for kids as lots of kids' activities open in summer. A perfect family picnic time of local people and a must visit place for tourists like us. Great restaurants are available at the top and toilet facilities available.The slope train journey also gives nice city views while ascending and descending also.

We walked to the Lower station and took the Funicular up the mountain.
It’s 10 GEL per head one way. The lines were not too bad at 8:30pm for the ticket or for the Funicular ride. Got some amazing glimpses of Tbilisi lit up at night.
The Pantheon is beautifully lit up and adds charm to the place.
We walked around and headed to the Ferris wheel. It’s 10 Gel per head and you get one revolution of the wheel to take in the sights. Tbilisi looks lovely at night from that height.
Glad we made the effort to go.
The park has some interesting rides and is family oriented. Lots of space, clean and cool at night to visit after the blistering heat of the day in August.
Upon our return one option was to take the Funicular down and spend 20 GEL for two of us or order a Bolt taxi for the same amount straight back to our hotel which is what we did.

We went on the Funicular to get to the top of the beautiful holy mountain and at the top is the most gorgeous park. Toilets are available and the area is so spotlessly clean. It must look amazing in the summer months as there are so many things for the children to do and some lovely food stalls. An amazing view of the city can be seen from this area and we certainly loved the experience.

Best way to go up to Mount Mtatsminda is to use Funicular Car, from the down station to upper station, the trip might take max 5mins.
Tbilisi City View is wonderful from up and you can enjoy Georgian Food at Funicular Complex Restaurant.
Great garden over the mountain where you can enjoy the trees, flowers and the walk.
Also there is an amusement park where kids can enjoy their time.

What's the difference between this location and Mtatsminda Amusement Park?are these places the same?If not which one do you highly recommend?
Written February 17, 2020
It is actually the same location, the park is cool especially for the kids, they will really enjoy there. Just make sure that you you charge your park cards at the cashier inside the station as there is no cash payment in the park.

Добрый день. Оплата пластиковой карточкой. Стоимость подъёма 3 лари. Причём эта карточка только на фуникулёр. Для метро и наземного общественного транспорта она не подходит. На спуск гондола работает до 4-х утра. Это было в июне. Бывают и часы "пик". Всего два вагончика и очередь может выстраиваться довольно-таки длинная

Is there snow in tbilisi on 1st week of December? Where is the best place to experience the snow ski..
Whicht places you would recommend to visit for a solo traveller. 😊
Thanks!
Written August 8, 2019
..there is no snow in the city proper. You need to travel around 1-2 hours in order to experience the snow and it's worth it!
The temperature int the city is a bit chilly (0-5 degrees at night)
Bakuriani is amazing!

Spectacular views of the city: Mtatsminda or Narichala Fortress. Spectacular views of the river: Europe Bridge or Mtekhi Church/Vakhtang Gorgasali statue. If you are Orthodox Christians: Sameba Cathedral is awe-inspiring along with a sweeping view of the city. If you want where many Georgians go for wedding pictures: Jvari Chapel, overlooking Mtskheta. Hope this helps
