Kutaisi Cable Car & Gabashvili Park
ქუთაისის საბაგირო
A Soviet-era cable car, now renovated, rises from the Rioni riverside to Gabashvili Park, where you'll find a retro Ferris wheel and panoramic city views at the top.
The lower cable car station is on the riverbank near White Bridge. The cars are small, and in just a few minutes you reach Besik Gabashvili Park on the hill. The park has Soviet-style vintage Ferris wheels, amusement rides, and lookout points overlooking the Rioni River, the Old Town rooftops, and, across the river, Bagrati Cathedral. Tickets cost only a few lari, making this a good choice for climbing up in the evening to watch the sunset. The cable car may be closed in winter or during maintenance.
