Mtatsminda Park & Funicular
მთაწმინდის პარკი
A hilltop amusement park at the city’s highest point. Ride the century-old funicular up the mountain, then take in panoramic views of Tbilisi and its lights from beside the TV tower.
Mtatsminda (“Holy Mountain”) rises about 770 meters. The summit park has a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and a restaurant with a view. It offers the broadest vantage point over Tbilisi, and the city lights are especially spectacular at night. You can ride the funicular, which opened in 1905 and departs from the lower station on Daniel Chonkadze Street. Along the way, next to the intermediate station, are St. David’s Church and a pantheon of Georgian notable figures. A one-way funicular ride costs about 3 lari and requires a park-specific card. The park is open roughly 10:00 until midnight. You can also take a taxi up the mountain from the city center.
