  • Finish: the Old Town side at Erekle II Street.
  • Reverse the route to start in the Old Town instead.

What you pass

The walk takes in the lit bridge and the river, with the Old Town rooftops on one side and Rike Park, the cable car and the wider river views on the other.

  • Rike Park and the aerial tramway on the left bank
  • The lit span over the Mtkvari
  • Old Tbilisi rooftops on the far side
  • Views towards Metekhi and Narikala

Walking notes

Evening walks are busiest near the entrances, so plan around the light rather than a fixed hour.

  • Decide your return leg before you set off.
  • Keep to lit, busy streets after dark.
  • Confirm the cable car and boat hours if you plan to add them.
  • Wear shoes that handle uneven Old Town paving.

Cable car hours, boat trips and any evening events change by season and day; verify them on the day.
