Quick facts

What makes the Bridge of Peace different

Many central bridges carry traffic, while the Bridge of Peace was designed as a pedestrian link between Rike Park and the Old Town. That makes it a destination and a viewpoint, not just a way to cross.

How it compares on a walk

  • The Bridge of Peace is pedestrian-only and sits beside Rike Park.
  • Traffic bridges are quicker to use if you are simply crossing the river.
  • The Peace Bridge is the natural choice when the views matter more than speed.

Bridge names, access and closures change with maintenance and works. Confirm the current situation locally before you plan a route around any particular bridge.

Choosing a bridge for your route

Pick the bridge that matches your destination and the view you want. If your plan is the Old Town or the cable car, the Bridge of Peace is the obvious link; for a straight crossing, a traffic bridge may suit better.

02Should I cross the river on the Bridge of Peace or another bridge?+

Choose by destination and view. The Bridge of Peace suits walking to the Old Town or Rike Park; a traffic bridge may be faster for a plain crossing.

Several central bridges cross the Mtkvari within easy reach of the Old Town, and each suits a different route. This page compares them for walking and views rather than for traffic.
