The bridge's story

One bridge,
two Tbilisis.

The Bridge of Peace was designed by Italian architect Michele De Lucchi. Its wavy, pale-blue glass canopy rests on a steel skeleton and reads clearly as a contemporary landmark in the midst of the historic fabric.

At night the structure comes alive through a system by French lighting designer Philippe Martinaud — tens of thousands of LEDs turn the bridge into a soft, almost liquid volume.

Light steel skeleton

Rhythmic white-steel lines form the lattice that makes the bridge easy to recognise even from afar.

01 · Form

Wavy glass roof

The translucent cover carries sky and city by day, and becomes the lit surface itself after dark.

02 · Material

Light steel skeleton

Rhythmic white-steel lines form the lattice that makes the bridge easy to recognise even from afar.

03 · Light

Part of the night city

The LED system reads best from dusk, especially when the lighting reflects on the surface of the Kura.

☀
Day

For the structure, glass and steel details.

◐
Sunset

Daylight shows the glass-and-steel structure. If you want an evening view, check conditions on the day; the historical lighting design is not a promise of a particular show or switch-on time.

✦
Night

An evening view depends on lighting and conditions at the time.

There is no fixed visit duration. Allow time for photographs, other pedestrians and the places you choose on either bank.

Detailed transport

Getting to the bridge
with the city’s rhythm.

M

Metro · Avlabari

Avlabari can be considered when planning a route via Rike Park. Check the current transport map and the walking approach from your chosen exit; this guide does not promise a closest station or walking time.

↝

On foot · from Freedom Square

Erekle II Street is the Old Town-side connection identified by Georgia Travel. Plan the approach from your starting point using current crossings and signs.

●

Taxi / bus

Set the destination to “Rike Park” or “Europe Square”. Route and stop numbers can change, so use current Tbilisi transport information before you travel.

Around the bridge

The route does not end
on the other bank.

Use the two banks to choose a direction: Rike Park on one side and the Erekle II Street approach to Old Tbilisi on the other. Nearby attractions have their own access conditions.

01
East of the bridge

Rike Park

Rike Park is the bank-side connection named by the national tourism article. Treat other park facilities as separate services.

02
A separate stop

Metekhi is another Old Tbilisi landmark. Choose a route from the bank you are using rather than assuming a fixed walking time.

Photo tip

The bridge in frame is not just a subject.

Try to include the Kura, the Old Town slopes and Rike’s green space. A wide frame shows better why this contemporary form stands out in Tbilisi’s historic fabric.

FAQ

Frequently
asked questions.

Short answers before you plan your visit.

01Is crossing the Bridge of Peace paid?+

The official tourism article does not give a current admission tariff. Check any local access notice; cable cars, boats and private tours are separate services.

02What is the best time to see it?+

Daylight shows the glass-and-steel structure. If you want an evening view, check conditions on the day; the historical lighting design is not a promise of a particular show or switch-on time.

03How much time should I allow?+

Choose the duration around photographs and the other stops you plan. There is no verified standard crossing or visit time for every traveller.

04Which metro is closest?+

Check the current city transport map for your origin. Avlabari is a possible approach via Rike Park, not a verified universal closest or quickest option.

05Can I cross with a wheelchair or stroller?+

The bridge is pedestrian infrastructure, but this guide has not verified current step-free continuity, gradients or temporary barriers on every approach. Check the specific route for your mobility needs.

06Is it safe to visit at night?+

No guide can guarantee night-time safety or that lighting will operate during your visit. Consider current local notices, visibility, weather and your return journey.
