White Bridge
თეთრი ხიდი
A 19th-century bridge over the Rioni River with glass viewing panels and a statue of the boy who leapt into the river, it is the most photogenic spot in the Old Town.
White Bridge was built in 1872 and links the two banks of the Old Town. Sections of the deck have glass panels so you can look down at the fast-flowing Rioni River. Beside the bridge sits a bronze statue of a boy in a cap, inspired by a scene in the Georgian film The Kiss in which a boy jumps into the river. At both ends of the bridge are restored old streets and cafés, and nearby is the cable car station for Gabashvili Park. Admission is free, and early morning or evening is the best time for a stroll and photos.
