Probably the busiest and most beloved place by tourists is the small Piazza. It is compared to the Venetian St. Mark's Square because the Piazza is built and decorated in the Italian style.

There are several hotels on the piazza, one of them in a clock tower. Every three hours, puppets appear in the window.

There is live music in the cozy cafes and restaurants. In summer, there are concerts on the square.

From the Piazza you can walk to Europe Square, which is located in the heart of the city, not far from the astronomical clock. There is a stele, which is crowned with the figure of Medea with the Golden Fleece in her hand. The four sides of the stele depict scenes from the myth of the journey of the Argonauts.

On hot summer days, the square attracts the fountain, its jets gushing directly from the ground.

In winter, the biggest Christmas tree of Batumi is installed on Europe Square, Christmas bazaar works, the main New Year's festivities take place.

The highlight of Theater Square is the Neptune Fountain, an exact copy of the one installed in Italian Bologna. Although those who have seen the original fountain have a low opinion of it, most tourists like it and Neptune is often used as an object for photo sessions. Probably because of the fountain Theatre Square has a second name - Poseidon Square.

But it is also called Teatralnaya for a reason. After all, the square is located in front of the city Drama Theater.

Nearby runs Rustaveli Street - the main street in Batumi.

Batumi Boulevard is considered to be the main place to walk. It stretches along the sea and the central (old) part of the city. It is not only a pedestrian zone, but also bicycle paths, children's and sports grounds, cafes and much more.

There is also a new light and music fountain, which is loved by tourists and locals alike.

The new boulevard is a continuation of the same boulevard, rebuilt the old embankment. It starts near the Park of Wonders and runs along the new part of Batumi.

Above the boulevard rises the Ferris wheel. There are original sculptures on it.

The composition "Love" attracts attention - these are moving figures of a boy and a girl (Ali and Nino), symbolizing eternal love. The sculpture looks especially spectacular in the evening when the lights are turned on.

There is also a 130-meter-tall Georgian Alphabet Tower with a viewing terrace and rotating restaurant, the old Lighthouse (1867) and others.

There are a lot of greenery and cozy benches, sitting on which it is pleasant to watch the sun go into the sea.

Among the popular entertainment in Batumi is also ropeway "Argo", which goes from the seafront to the mountain of Feria. Experienced tourists recommend taking a ride on it and admiring the gorgeous views of the city and the mountains around it.

Almost all beaches in Batumi are pebbly. In the central part of the city is the most comfortable - "Batumi Beach". The entrance to the sea here is gentle, so the beach is convenient for children. Working rent umbrellas and sun loungers, catamarans and jet skis.

Nearby there are cafes with good cuisine, in the clubs the best DJs demonstrate their art.

Near the Botanical garden there is a beach called "Zeleny Mys", which is a little away from the center. It is much smaller than the central one, but it is very popular among locals and tourists. It is famous for its purest water.
