🌳 The best parks in Tbilisi: 20 green areas for walking, relaxing and breathing fresh air

🌳 Why walk in the parks in Tbilisi? A walk that remains in the memory

Tbilisi is not only streets with grape balconies and noisy markets, but also amazing parks where the city reveals itself from a different side. A walk through the green areas of the capital is a great opportunity to breathe fresh air, escape from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the silence, while maintaining the feeling that you are in the heart of the city.

The park is an ideal place to relax between excursions, for a morning jog, a family walk or a romantic date. On hot days, it is easy to find shade under the trees, and in the evening - to feel the coolness and see how the city lights up. Some parks host festivals, have summer cafes, attractions and even ponds with boats or piers.

If you want to not just "see the city" but feel its mood - start with a walk in the park. This is a free, accessible and truly Tbilisi way to get to know the city.

🏞️ What parks are there in the capital? From spacious areas to cozy squares

Every park is different — and Tbilisi proves it. There are large modern spaces with bike paths and cafes, as well as small green corners hidden among the streets of the Old Town.

Here are the most common types of parks in the capital:

• Family parks with lakes and attractions - for example, Vake Park or Turtle Lake. Here you can ride a boat, play with children or have a picnic.
• Panoramic parks - the parks on Mtatsminda and near the "Chronicles of Georgia" monument allow you not only to walk, but also to admire the breathtaking views of the city.
• Historical and cultural parks - for example, the Tbilisi Botanical Garden or the square near the Rustaveli Theater. Here nature, architecture and history are combined.
• Squares and small parks in the districts are ideal for relaxing on a bench, reading a book or taking a leisurely stroll without crowds of tourists.
• Modern parks with urban design - like the Deda Ena (Mother of Language) Park, updated and fashionable, with fountains and photo zones.

Review from a reader of the catalog

Elena Grebneva, Yekaterinburg

"The Madloba catalog helped me choose the best parks in Tbilisi for recreation — and I was delighted with the variety! One day I managed to visit Turtle Lake, where nature and infrastructure are perfectly combined. The next day, my friend and I walked around the park near the "Chronicles of Georgia" monument and admired the panoramas of the capital. I really liked the idea of ​​including small parks in the list — I discovered a cozy corner near the Rustaveli Theater, which I had never even heard of before. Special thanks for mentioning Deda Ena Park — a stylish and modern place, perfect for photos. Excellent rating — with it, walks around Tbilisi became truly conscious and inspiring!"

Feedback from a reader of the catalog

Alexander Murashko, Minsk

"The Madloba catalog was a real discovery for me - I didn't even suspect how many parks of different moods there are in Tbilisi! I came for the weekend and thanks to the rating I was able to choose a route for each morning: from jogging in Deda Ena Park to a walk by Turtle Lake. I especially liked the recommendations for romantic places - a walk in Rike Park at sunset was unforgettable. I was surprised that even small parks, like the courtyard near the opera house, were included in the selection - they really have a special atmosphere. It was nice to see that everyone's interests were taken into account: from athletes to lovers. A very useful and well-thought-out rating - I recommend it!"

⏰ When is the best time to go for a walk? Time of day and seasons

The weather in Tbilisi varies, but the parks are great almost all year round - you just have to choose the right time.

• 🌸 Spring

March to May is the ideal time for walks. Everything is in bloom, the air is fresh, the greenery is bright, and there are not too many tourists yet. The botanical garden and parks with trees in bloom are especially beautiful.

• 🌞 Summer

In the hot months (July–August), it is better to walk in the morning before 11:00 or in the evening after 18:00. The shade in the park saves from the heat, and the evening lighting adds coziness. Turtle Lake and the embankments are especially popular at this time.

• 🍁 Autumn

September and October are the warm gold of Tbilisi. The weather is mild, the trees are painted in red-orange tones, and everything looks like a postcard. A great time for romantic and photo walks.

• ❄️ Winter

Even in winter, you can walk in the parks in Tbilisi - if the day is sunny, the temperature stays around +5–10°C. The main thing is to dress for the weather. It is especially atmospheric in the deserted squares and near the city fountains.

🕐 Advice: if you want peace and privacy, come on a weekday before lunch. And if you want a lively atmosphere and people, weekends after 4 p.m. are the best.

🎒 What to take with you? Useful tips for city guests

To make your walk in the park comfortable, it is better to think through the details in advance. Here is a list of simple but necessary things:

• Comfortable shoes - parks can be large, with climbs and stairs.
• A bottle of water - especially in the warm season. Fountains are not available everywhere.
• A small snack or fruit - will come in handy if you decide to have a mini-picnic.
• A sunshade or a light scarf - especially useful in open areas.
• A phone with navigation - to easily find the entrance, toilet, cafe or desired recreation area.
• A book, blanket or headphones

💡 Tip: if you are going with children, take a ball, bubbles or a toy - there is plenty of space for this in Tbilisi parks.
