Georgia 🇬🇪 Tbilisi. Cable Cars. 17 July 2026

Tbilisi features three main cable car lines: the Rike Park to Narikala Fortress route (classic, 2.5 GEL), the newer Rustaveli Avenue to Mtatsminda Park route (12 GEL), and the Vake Park to Turtle Lake line (1 GEL). They offer efficient, highly scenic transport to the city's best viewpoints.

We chose the Mtatsminda Park Route as we had already seen the mother of Georgia close to the Narikala Fortress and there had been a long queue when we last walked past the entrance.

Getting up to the top its 1 GEL for the toilet and they only accept visa.

The rides are excellent, such a variety each a distance away from each other that kids walking would be exhausted after a few rides.

After an iced coffee which I drank as it was not ice cream, we went down via the Funicular.

Funicular station

Local building with people living there being held together by metal stays on one side.

The other side has no metal holding it up. Damage caused by earthquakes.

Having had a great breakfast at the hotel, I had a Matcha and Michael a brownie with ice cream at Michael's favourite coffee shop .

Back at the hotel we relax until16:30 to catch the metro for the trip to the rugby.
