ジョージアのおすすめランニングルート

Such a beautiful bridge, but unfortunately full of vendors offering boat tours and photos.

Anyone entering Europe Square finds themselves in the middle of a postcard scene. Playful facades, a striking clock tower, water features, and, in the center, a stone column with a golden Medea high above – this is Batumi in miniature: dramatic, meticulously detailed, and somehow proud. This is the city's tourist heart. The square is surrounded by cafés, hotels, and historic buildings, including the fairytale Astronomical Tower with its green brick spires. During the day, it's bustling with people, children play in the fountain, tour groups gather beneath the statue, and in the evening, everything lights up in bright colors – a bit of Las Vegas, a bit of Belle Époque. Those seeking peace and quiet should come in the early morning. Those wanting to people-watch should stay until the evening. If you're hungry, take a walk around the square – everything from fast food to delicatessen is available.

In the middle of Tbilisi, where the city unfolds its breathless rhythm between the fortress and the river, suddenly stands a piece of Berlin. Not a copy, not a replica, but a genuine, raw concrete testimony to history – a segment of the Berlin Wall, rough, painted, and scarred. The location: Europaplatz. The occasion: friendship. The context: remembrance. In 2017, Germany presented this piece of the Wall to the Georgian Prime Minister – not as a nostalgic souvenir, but as a symbol. Not of what was, but of what is to come. On the metal plaque, one reads in sober English: "All such walls fall." A sentence like a political warning, simple yet full of dignity.

The Peace Bridge is an arched pedestrian bridge over the Mtkvari River in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. The 150-meter-long, covered bridge was opened on May 6, 2010, and connects Tbilisi's Old Town with the newly designed Rike Park, not far from the Presidential Palace. It is located between the Barachvili and Metheki Bridges and was designed by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi.

The original name of the church is unknown. Its current name is taken from a supposedly miraculous 12th-century icon of the Savior, which had been kept in the church since the 17th century and is now on display in the Georgian State Museum of Arts in Tbilisi. The silver icon (Georgian: Khati) came from the Anchi Church in southern Georgia. Its creator was Beka Opisari, a master silversmith of his era (Wikipedia).

The oldest church in the city. An impressive building.

You have to cross this bridge! It offers beautiful photo opportunities of the city and the Kura River. The park invites you to linger or take a hot air balloon ride.

Amazing building! And always surrounded by crowds of tourists taking photos.
