Leghvtakhevi Waterfall — Attraction in Tbilisi

Leghvtakhevi Waterfall is a magical hidden gem right in the heart of Tbilisi’s Old Town. Tucked away behind the colorful bathhouses of Abanotubani, it’s incredible to find such a peaceful natural oasis in the middle of a bustling city.

The short walk to the waterfall is charming, with cobblestone paths, historic architecture, and a wooden footbridge that leads you directly to the falls. As you approach, the sound of rushing water and the cool mist in the air create a refreshing and calming atmosphere.

It’s the perfect quick escape if you're exploring Old Tbilisi. Spend a few quiet minutes here, sit on a nearby bench, and just enjoy the moment. It’s free, easy to access, and absolutely worth seeing.

There are some kids with falcon and peacocks where you pay 5 GEL to take a picture...
