Dry Bridge Market
მშრალი ხიდის ბაზრობა
An open-air flea market on the banks of the Kura, with Soviet medals, old film cameras, antique knives, and oil paintings by local artists in abundance.
The Dry Bridge Market is located at the “Dry Bridge” and a small park beside it. It grew out of residents selling off their household belongings after the Soviet Union collapsed. Today vendors display Soviet medals, military gear, film cameras, enamelware, silver jewelry, old records, and Georgian horn cups every day, and local painters sell oil paintings by the bridge. Most stalls open after 10 a.m. and close in the evening. The market is busiest on weekends, and fewer stalls are open on rainy days. Bargaining is accepted. Exporting antiques may require a cultural relic permit. It is about a 15-minute walk from Freedom Square.
