☀️ Morning. Rike Park and the Peace Bridge🌳

Start your day at Rike Park. Spacious alleys, neat flowerbeds, and fountains make it ideal for children and parents. Here, you can let your little one run around or ride a scooter while adults relax on a bench in the shade. The atmosphere is tranquil, and the area is completely closed to cars.

Cross the Bridge of Peace. The glass arches and the sparkle of the river beneath your feet create a real wow factor 🤩. This bridge is equally popular with children and adults—for some, it's an attraction, for others, a beautiful photo opportunity.

🌤 Day. 🚡Cable car, Meydan and Legvtakhevi 💦

If the cable car is running, go up and back down immediately: in a short 10-15 minutes, kids get a thrill, and parents get spectacular views without the long walk. It's a safe adventure that fits easily into your daily routine.

After the descent, take a look at Meydan. Here, you can treat the kids to a scoop of ice cream 🍦
or a glass of fresh juice. It's a small but very important moment of joy that will make the walk easier.

Then go to the Legvtakhevi gorge. Boardwalks and railings make the route comfortable, and the babbling brook provides a cool breeze even in summer. There are steps right at the waterfall — help children or leave the stroller at the trailhead. The final destination will delight everyone: the roaring waterfall in the city center looks like a small miracle.

🌆 Evening. A brief tour of the Old Town 🧭

End the day in the Old Town. The narrow streets, wooden balconies, and souvenir shops will delight the whole family. Kids will enjoy window shopping and street musicians 🎶, while parents will search for a cozy spot for an early dinner.
Keep the walk short—30-45 minutes is enough to soak up the atmosphere without overwhelming the little ones. If you have any energy left, you can take a few photos against the backdrop of the old houses and the soft evening light.

An alternative in case of wind or closed cable car🌬️ Stay longer at Rike Park, give the kids more time to play, and simply extend your stroll through the Old Town. It's no less interesting, and even more comfortable.

☀️ Morning. Vake Park 🌳

Start your day in Vake Park, one of the city's greenest areas. There are spacious alleys, shaded by old trees, fountains, and playgrounds. This is a place to relax: children play, parents sit on a bench or stroll nearby. The atmosphere is calm and safe, and the daily rhythm immediately becomes gentle and friendly.

🌤 Day. Turtle Lake🐢 and the Ethnographic Museum

Next, head to Turtle Lake. If you're feeling energetic, walk up (about 40 minutes with stops) to enjoy views and fresh air along the way. For a quicker option, take a taxi 🚖. A convenient path runs around the lake—perfect for strollers or children. Here you can grab an ice cream, have a mini-picnic on the grass 🧺, or have lunch at a café on the terrace overlooking the water. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a small resort right in the city.

After your rest, visit the Open-Air Ethnographic Museum. This is a true "Georgian puzzle": houses, barns, and yards from different regions of the country. Children are fascinated by the sights of where and how people lived in the past, and parents can share stories—it's a mini-journey through time. The "short route" takes 60–90 minutes and won't tire even the youngest.

🌆 Evening. Lunch in the Vake/Saburtalo area🍽️

End your day at one of the family-run cafes in the Vake or Saburtalo area.. It's easy to find a café here with spacious tables, comfortable chairs, and even a children's menu. It's a great time for a late lunch or early dinner, allowing you to finish the day without fuss and easily return to the hotel.

Alternative in the heat ☀️ Save the lake and museum for the morning, and stay in the shade of parks or cool cafes during the day.

☀️ Morning. Mtatsminda🚡

Start your morning with a ride on the funicular. For a child, this is already a small adventure, and for adults, it's a chance to enjoy the city panorama. At the top, a park awaits: a Ferris wheel 🎡, simple rides, observation decks, and a cafe. It's important to choose one or two activities here to avoid overloading your day and save energy for the rest of the trip.

🌤 Day. Agmashenebeli and the Fabrika courtyard🎨

After Mtatsminda, head down to the center and stroll along Agmashenebeli Avenue. This street is one of the calling cards of "New Tiflis." Its wide pedestrian area, lovingly restored 19th-century facades, and green treetops make the stroll easy and cozy. It's a great place to take the whole family: kids can enjoy ice cream 🍦, while adults enjoy a cup of coffee or lemonade on the summer terrace. Music 🎶 can be heard on every corner, and street artists and small shops add a touch of color.

Next stop: Fabrika courtyard. This former clothing factory has been transformed into a creative space, and it's arguably one of the most fashionable spots in Tbilisi. Here, graffiti walls rub shoulders with designer shops, street bars sit alongside cozy coffee shops, and tourists from all over the world rub shoulders with young Tbilisians. It's especially convenient for families: children can safely run around the spacious courtyard while parents sample pizza 🍕, burgers 🍔, or Georgian dishes with a modern twist. A great place to take a break and recharge.

🌆 Evening. Kura River Embankment

Finish your trip with a short walk along the Kura River embankment. It's a beautiful place to watch the sunset 🌇: the water reflects the lights, and the city becomes softer and calmer. A 20-30-minute walk is enough to release the children's evening energy, collect some last photos 📸, and finish the trip without rushing.

Alternative in the rain🌧️ Spend more time at Fabrika or the cozy cafes, or for a change, choose the compact museum on Rustaveli.
