Batumi Botanical Garden
ბათუმის ბოტანიკური ბაღი
A large botanical garden on Green Cape, built on a mountainside overlooking the sea. Its nine geographic zones collect subtropical plants from around the world, and its trails offer views of the Black Sea.
Founded in 1912 by botanist Andrei Krasnov, the Batumi Botanical Garden lies on Green Cape, about 9 km north of the city center. It covers about 110 hectares and is divided along the hillside into zones including East Asia, North America, Australia and the Himalayas, with thousands of plant species. Among stands of bamboo, palms, magnolias and eucalyptus, you can look out over the Black Sea. The terrain is steep. A full walk takes about 3 to 4 hours, and an on-site electric shuttle is available. From downtown, a bus or taxi takes about 20 minutes. Admission is charged, and there are entrances at both the upper and lower levels.
