Tbilisi is home to many small or large parks in which to relax, escape the summer heat, or just walk around in nature. These green spaces are scattered throughout the city, making them easy to get to on foot, but some do require public transportation or a taxi ride. So, here are some of the most beautiful recreational areas for you to relax in after a long walk in the city.

1. Mziuri Park

Park

Located in Vake district, Mziuri Park is one of the lushest and most charming and peaceful recreational spots in Tbilisi. The famous Georgian writer Nodar Dumbadze initiated the construction of the park in 1982 because he wanted to create a small city for children here.

The entrance to the park features the sculptures of his famous characters every Georgian loves and admires. However, the park was abandoned for many years, until the project called New Mziuri started to breathe a new life into it and provide educational and entertaining events to the public.

The old café was reconstructed quite recently, becoming a social café, while the amphitheater and the playground for children were also restored. It’s worth mentioning that the New Mziuri café is the only one that offers a menu in braille for those with visual impairment.

2. Mtatsminda Park

Mtatsminda Park is a favorite decorated park on the top of Mount Mtatsminda, which offers panoramic views of the capital. The park is well known for its entertainment attractions, water slides, a roller coaster, carousels, and a big Ferris wheel with breathtaking vistas of Tbilisi.As the park is on a high mountain, fresh air combined with beautiful greenery creates a pleasant atmosphere and spot to relax.

However, do note that the park isn’t open for 24 hours as the rest of the green spaces in Tbilisi. Thus, the entrance is free, and the park closes at 9 p.m. each day. You can reach the area by taking a taxi or bus, hiking up or riding a funicular railway from Chonkadze Street.

If you want to combine relaxation with educating yourself about the culture and traditions of Georgian regions, then the Open Air Museum of Ethnography is an excellent place to do so.

Located on the road towards the Kus Tba, the museum encompasses 14 ethnographic zones and typical houses of the regions of Georgia, each showcasing a representation of a particular historical, ethnographic state in the country.
