Nestled behind Sololaki Hill, Tbilisi Botanical Garden unfolds like a verdant labyrinth. Encompassing over 160 hectares, the garden boasts a staggering collection of over 4,500 plant species, a testament to Georgia's diverse flora and the world beyond. The Tsavkisis-Tskali River carves a path through the garden, punctuated by cascading waterfalls and charming bridges. These watery features add a touch of tranquility and provide picturesque backdrops for exploration. Walking paths weave through themed sections, each offering a unique botanical experience. Exotic delights await around every bend. The Japanese Garden, a serene oasis, transports visitors to the Far East with its meticulously raked gravel, bonsai trees, and traditional pagodas. Aromatic scents fill the air in the Rose Garden, boasting a vibrant display of colors and varieties. Elsewhere, cacti stand sentinel in their dedicated area, while greenhouses brim with tropical wonders. The garden isn't just a visual feast; it's a haven for wildlife. Birdwatchers delight in spotting colorful songbirds flitting through the branches, while butterflies add splashes of color against the verdant backdrop. The gentle murmur of water and the rustling of leaves create a calming soundtrack to your exploration. For the energetic, a network of trails winds through the garden's upper reaches, offering a more challenging and scenic exploration. For a unique perspective, a zip line soars above the treetops, providing a thrilling glimpse of the garden's vastness. Whether you're a botany enthusiast or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Tbilisi Botanical Garden offers something for everyone. It's a place to wander, learn, and appreciate the incredible diversity of the plant kingdom.

Loved this garden . By far , the biggest park that I have seen , it;s huge and filled with trees. There are 2 main entrances for the park , one is walking downstairs from Narikala, another one is beside Sulfur baths. The recommendation would be to walk down from the Narikala fortress . There is a small entry fee I believe 6 Lari or something. The day we went turned out to be slightly warmer , hence we did tire ourselves walking , but it was refreshing at the waterfall . Plus the park is designed without disturbing it's fauna , you would have to walk uphill and downhill at all times. There is a zip line as well which starts near the Narikala and ends up at the entrance , hardly 40s but the price is really attractive 35 Lari. We wanted to see the pantheon and tried to follow the map but we ended up walking a lot we did get to see the flower park at the top, so do remember to get good shoes. The spot where zip line ends has some swings and also is the most scenic spot from where you can see almost the whole park and fortress , there are few wooden swings kept , which helped a lot in relaxing. Do keep water and take breaks along your way . On the way out there is a small park with photographic statues.

An understated gem in a valley just over the hill from the main valley of Tbilisi. Georgia's National Botanical Garden is reached in one of several ways: through the twisting roads of Tbilisi's old town or up the aerial tramway that ends on the ridge by the mother of Georgia statue. The garden is the labor of love of many workers. It seems clear that funding for the garden isn't overly generous (at 2 gl to enter it can't be), but that does not keep this 80-acre garden from shining in a variety of ways. Most of the park is more arbouretum-like than formal garden-ish, with tranquil paths through serene wooded settings. Water seems to be constantly flowing throughout the park. Visit the waterfall and suspension bridge if you like water. The rose garden is hidden away up on the far side of the park. It's not a huge Rose Garden nor are the varieties all that special, but it's beautiful and when the roses are in bloom I'm sure it smells wonderful. There's also a lilac garden and a gem-like little Japanese garden as well.

The Botanical Garden near Narikala is an absolute gem! Walking through its lush pathways is a delightful experience, with every corner offering a new burst of natural beauty. The waterfall within the garden is simply breathtaking, adding a touch of serenity to the surroundings. What makes this place even more special is the presence of the impressive Mother Georgia statue, standing tall amidst the greenery. It's truly a sight to behold and adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the garden. One of the best parts? The entrance fee is incredibly affordable, making it accessible to all. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a moment of relaxation on one of the benches, or simply want to admire the stunning views of the city from within the garden, this place has it all. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit this wonderful destination during your time in Tbilisi. It's a perfect blend of nature, culture, and tranquility, making it a must-see attraction for locals and tourists alike.

I had a magical day here. A lot to see great view points option to go up and come back (dont lose your ticket) Not much flower but massive number of different greenary Bamboo section was our favourite If you enter from bottom you will feel like is this a real botanical garden or constaction site. You ask yourself did I really walk up this much for this. After the 150th meter all will change. Somehow georgians are not best sales people of what they have built. Worst possible entrance for such a great place. Tips: Take cable car and go from up if you can go upwards If you dont have problem walking upwards definitely enter from bottom. You will soend more time more to see. It will be hard to unlock all the map from top down. We tried both and Bottom up was definitely better. Dont lose your ticket. You will need it to reenter if you get out for mother georgia statue. Be ready to walk a lot If you want a lot of colors come in Fall Enjoy the views
