Kutaisi is the central city of Imereti, and its historical center. Since ancient times, Kutaisi has been and remains the most important administrative region of Western Georgia.
There is no seashore or ski resorts, but amazing sights in the surrounding area. Today we will discuss the Gelati or Motsameta monastery complexes that are not known to everyone, separate articles are allocated for them in the Madloba catalog, and we will tell you how to explore the sights of Kutaisi as much as possible in 1 day.
We are planning a day tour of Kutaisi
No matter which hotel in Kutaisi you stay in, there will always be exciting and magnificent sights nearby, from which an unforgettable day tour of Kutaisi will begin.
Most of the tourist places are gathered near the central park of Kutaisi. Therefore, we will start the journey from there. Then we will head towards the Colchis Fountain, walk past the L. Meskhishvili Drama Theater in the direction of the Museum of Military Glory. Then, moving towards the Rioni River, we will approach the Annunciation Church.
Moving in the opposite direction from the Colchis Fountain, we will definitely take a photo in the smallest Park with Fountain and come to the State Museum of Kutaisi. From there, moving to the Rustaveli Bridge, we will look into the Royal District, take a photo on the White Bridge and explore the Golden Tent and the Palace of King Solomon II from the inside.
If, having reached the Rustaveli Bridge, there are difficulties and confusion with where you are and where to go next, you can always look into the Information Center of Kutaisi. Here they will always help tourists find their way and tell them where to turn in case of difficulties.
After crossing the Rustaveli Bridge, every tourist is obliged to take a photo near the monument to Galaktion Tabidze, and then go to the central Park of Culture and Recreation.
After relaxing in the park and having refreshed ourselves at a local restaurant or cafe, we take a taxi to the main attraction of the city of Kutaisi – the Bagrat Temple. Inspired by the ancient church and filled with strength, we finish the tour in the Kutaisi Botanical Garden.
So, let's tell you more about each point of the excursion for 1 day in Kutaisi.

Central Park of Kutaisi
The Central Park of Kutaisi welcomes guests with massive columns, neatly trimmed shrubs and well-groomed flower beds. A great place to start an excursion to gain strength and soak up the beauty and local flavor.
On the territory of the park there are springs with mineral water, from which you can safely drink or take water with you on the road. There is also a Monument to Zahariy Paliashvili erected here, an excellent location for tourist photos.

Colchis Fountain
The most expensive fountain in Georgia is located in Kutaisi, and this is the Colchis Fountain. The multi-tiered fountain with golden and bronze statues of animals, symbolizing the history of the Georgian people, delights every observer.
All sculptures of the Colchis Fountain are exact copies of artifacts excavated in Colchis, the ancient kingdom of Georgia. The legend of the Golden Fleece has roots precisely from Colchis.
To get a closer look at the fountain, you will have to overcome the highway that surrounds the Colchis fountain with a ring. There are no pedestrian crossings, so you need to catch the moment when the traffic will decrease.
But even on the other side of the road, the Colchis Fountain impresses with its scale and splendor.

Annunciation Church
The Annunciation Cathedral or the Annunciation Church is an amazing place that has undergone many changes during its existence. Initially, the Orthodox St. Sophia Church was given into the hands of Catholics. For three decades, Catholics have been making their own changes to the architecture of the temple. Then it was completely closed. At the end of the XIX century, the Annunciation Cathedral reopened its doors to its parishioners, but as an Orthodox church.
Today it is considered one of the ancient churches of Kutaisi, and one of the most unusual in architecture.
