How the ride works
It is a short, single hop between a lower station in Rike Park and an upper station on the Narikala ridge. Cabins run continuously, so waiting is usually about queue length rather than a timetable.
- Lower station: in Rike Park, by the Bridge of Peace
- Upper station: on the hill at Narikala
- One-way and return options exist
- The ride itself takes only a few minutes
What you see from the cabin
The value of the cable car is the view on the way up: the Bridge of Peace, the Mtkvari, Metekhi Church and the roofs of Old Tbilisi all sit below you as the cabin climbs.
Fares, payment methods and operating times change. Confirm the ticket price and whether the line is running on the day you visit.
Before you join the queue
- Decide one-way or return — walking down through the Old Town is a common alternative.
- Expect longer queues at sunset and in the evening.
- Check whether the line is operating; it can pause for maintenance or weather.
- Card or cash acceptance can vary, so check before joining.
