Arcadia Georgia — Castle

Это место просто удивительное, особенно если вас сопровождает хороший гид — вам повезет. Интересна история создания этого дворца и то, как его приобрел Бари Патаркацитищвиши. В каждой детали здания и интерьеров заложено много смыслов и идей. Хотя внутреннее убранство может не всем понравиться, масштабы впечатляют: задумка Бари и ее реализация действительно захватывают.

Здесь потрясающая коллекция антиквариата, картин и подарков (например, макет Иерусалима из перламутра, подарок Израиля), а также великолепный частный парк с павлинами и коллекция автомобилей, среди которых есть машина Гагарина и Горбачева. Это место обязательно стоит посетить.

What a magical place! I arranged a tour with Giorgi through getyourguide. He guided me through the palace and garden for about two hours, sharing a wealth of knowledge. It was a fantastic experience! Just a heads up, access is only available through a tour since it's private property. Highly recommended, and thanks to Giorgi for being such a great guide!

Ziyaret etmek için vaktimiz olmadığından, yapıyı dışarıdan görmek istedik ama bahçe girişinin yasak olduğunu öğrendik. Etrafı yüksek inşaatlarla kaplı olduğu için yapıyı görmek de pek mümkün değil. Umarım bir sonraki ziyaretimizde tura katılma şansımız olur 💔

An Unmissable Treasure in Tbilisi!

This place is truly stunning! I’m still thrilled from witnessing those amazing frescoes and the lavish rooms—it feels like a journey from China to Egypt all in one spot.

Our fantastic guide, Cristina, made the experience even better. She was kind and very knowledgeable, answering all our questions and making the tour enjoyable and engaging. If you're in Tbilisi, this is definitely a place you need to see! :)

A stunning and one-of-a-kind treasure in Tbilisi.

It really resembles Aldana Castle from Marvel!

We took a private tour led by Mr. George, who is an amazing storyteller. He brought the place to life, and without him, we would have just seen a building. With him, we discovered a whole world.

We began at the main gates and even visited an open garage with a stunning collection of vintage cars (a huge treat for car enthusiasts). Then we explored the first palace, which felt like walking into an art museum, featuring over 30 paintings, including those by Lado Gudiashvili and other Georgian artists.

Next, we wandered through Arcadia Garden, where we spotted real peacocks casually roaming around 🦚, and then we entered the Wedding Palace itself.

This place is extraordinary.

The architecture blends fairytale elements with Soviet modernism and a touch of Gaudí — featuring bold curves, stone towers, dramatic staircases, and the iconic bell tower. One detail I loved was the clock without hands, which George explained symbolizes that love is timeless. Cheesy? Perhaps. Beautiful? Definitely.

Fun facts + vibes:
• It's like a movie set
• Plenty of incredible photo opportunities
• The atmosphere is quiet, peaceful, and almost surreal
• A perfect blend of history, art, and romance
• Much more engaging than typical sightseeing

We explored rooms themed around French, Asian, and Egyptian styles, ending with a set depicting old Tbilisi.

Even if you're not planning a wedding, this place is absolutely worth a visit just for its architecture and the stories behind it.

A huge thank you to George for making the tour unforgettable. Highly recommend it.

If you're in Tbilisi and looking for something unique (beyond the usual old town walk), this is a hidden gem.

Absolutely stunning! This is the best castle I've seen. The service is excellent! Make sure to visit to experience the beautiful and unique historical materials of Georgia. With the great guidance from the tour guide Christy, you'll learn all about this amazing and beautiful museum! I can't wait to return, and I'm so happy I captured so many photos and videos of the castle. A heartfelt thank you to the castle's Director! I have great respect and admiration for everyone who works there!
