View and ride up was spectacular. Did a 2 mile hike. Be aware it's much colder up there than where you park. After our hike the tram had electrical issues. Luckily we weren't stuck on it. It was down for several hours. Luckily it was back online that evening to take us down.

The tram is a fun experience and lifts you 8500 feet above the desert to a much cooler environment. We hiked to the summit of San Jacinto. We moved fast but if you are going to hike be prepared with water and some food. Also be prepared to scramble up some boulders at the summit! The mountains are covered with a forest providing some shade. Wear good shoes for hiking

What a great way to spend the day! The ride up was fun—just a little scary at times—but much easier on the way down. There are about five lookout points at the top with stunning desert views. The hike wasn’t too difficult and is manageable for kids, with a couple of loop trails to explore. The facilities at the top are well-maintained, making it a comfortable visit. Overall, a great day adventure and a perfect escape from the valley heat.

The experience was excellent. There was no wind to speak of and the ride was super smooth going both ways, but steep and perhaps no ideal for people who are sensitive to heights. The views in the car and ontop of the mountain are spectacular. The food was well above average. The hike opportunities are nice and not very strenuous, although the high altitude and the thinner air will exert your body disproportionally. Would recommend the ride to anyone who is not fazed by heights.

I absolutely love this place. It makes for a great escape from the heat of Palm Springs. Just a 3 mile drive outside the city and you are on your way up to the state park and 30 degree temperatures relief. Huge pine trees and relaxing environment.. great trails and fun bar to visit after a long hike.

Had an excellent time sightseeing, exploring the visitor center, and of course riding the tram itself! On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Salton Sea. Staff are friendly and kind. It's best to get in line as early as possible in the boarding area, for you to ensure a place near a window. A few of our fellow guests were just a little rude, but that is to be expected in any tourist destination. It's also highly recommended to buy tickets days ahead of time, because during busy times like holidays and weekends you might find yourself with a multi hour wait for a walk-up ticket.

Very cool place to visit, the nature and vistas are really beautiful also a great way to exercise since it took us almost 2 hr to walk around and enjoy couple of spectacular viewing points. Definitely must see if visiting Palm Springs.

Super nice fields in a nice park. I wish they were a bit wider, as they are too narrow for a true rugby field and according to some people in Macon, the city of Macon will not paint the field with rugby markings, even though rugby teams with up to 30-40 people travel as far as Charleston in the east and Montgomery in the west to compete and spend money in Macon. That's the only reason I would give the park 4 stars out of 5.

We got there when the Festival started! It was super fun and beautiful seeing the cherry blossoms! The area was clean and had bathrooms available.

This is a very big and beautiful park. We can spend the whole day here. There is fresh air and beautiful trees.

I love this park. I can't believe that it doesn't have more people go to it. There are a few different playgrounds, a pond, a big gazebo, peaceful gardens, a SKATEPARK, several sets of restrooms, three football fields, a bunch of baseball fields in the back, lots of shade trees, plenty of parking, right off the Olcmulgee Trail, and it is very well kept up. Lots of things here to do and see. The area is SAFE. I have not been bothered out here one bit. I like to go out here to get exercise in and just be with nature. It is a nice place to visit. Check it out!

We really enjoyed the private section. The bathrooms could use more attention during the games. The food provided for us was good. Will definitely go again. Wear comfortable shoes or arrive early. It's a LONG walk with no shuttle service if you wait until the last minute.

The park has come a long way from my younger days.

I literally only left a star because I have to in order to leave the review. We went to this park today. I lived in Macon for 38 years before I moved to Nebraska. I've been gone 3 years, I came back yo visit my daughter and other family and took my kids to this park. What I saw her will never leave my mind and we will never be back. When we come back for subsequent trips we will not be coming to Macon. That makes me so sad because this used to be a beautiful city. Walking through this park we saw trash all over the banks of the pond, the playground equipment was dirty on all 3 playgrounds. There were homeless all over the park. Worst of all, we walked passed one of the bathrooms and there was the largest pile of human feces any person has ever seen ever. It was covered in flies and people just walked by like it was normal. There were grounds keepers every where.. I would say do better but yall won't. We'll just go back to Lincoln, thanks for the reminder of why we dont come to macon.

Relatively enjoyable experience, it takes about an hour to complete the guided tour through the cave. The tour I was on spoke the information In Georgian, English and then Russian which I feel was too much. It would be better to split into language groups which would make the groups more manageable…there must have been 60 people on the one I was on. The cave itself is very beautiful though and the pathways are well kept. Well worth visiting, just go in the morning and on a weekday when it’s quieter!

Well-presented cave with good atmosphere Prometheus Cave is worth the visit if you're in Kutaisi. The cave itself is impressive, but what really elevates it is how they've set it up. Each hall has its own music and lighting that changes as you move through. It's not overdone—actually adds to the experience rather than feeling gimmicky. Made viewing each section more engaging. The formations are solid, well-lit so you can actually see the details. Walkways are in good condition, easy to navigate. At the end, there's an optional boat ride out of the cave for an additional 20 Lari. I took it and enjoyed it—nice way to finish the tour rather than just walking back out. Tour moves at a reasonable pace. Not rushed, but doesn't drag either. Good value for what you get. Would recommend.

Prometheus Cave is a stunning natural site. The walk through the cave takes you past incredible rock formations, all beautifully lit and well-maintained. The inside is cool and refreshing, especially in the summer. If you get cold easily, a light jacket is a good idea. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes — the walk is long but enjoyable. At the end of the cave, there’s a short boat ride that adds a fun touch, although it doesn’t last more than a few minutes. After exiting, you’ll find a small supermarket for refreshments, and a shuttle bus takes you back to the main entrance. There, you can enjoy traditional food or shop for small souvenirs. As for the guided tour, it felt a bit rushed. We didn’t get much time to pause for photos unless we were okay falling behind. The guide spoke English, but it was hard to follow due to the fast pace and overlapping noise from other groups. A slower delivery or separate tours by language would improve the experience and help everyone enjoy the cave more fully. We used the Maxim app for transportation — it was cheaper and quicker than Bolt in this area. Overall, it’s a must-visit in the Kutaisi region, but the tour style could be improved.

The Prometheus Caves in Georgia are a breathtaking natural wonder that invite visitors into a world sculpted by time. Located near Kutaisi, these limestone caves are filled with stunning stalactites, stalagmites, underground rivers, and shimmering lakes that create an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Colorful lighting carefully illuminates the pathways, highlighting the intricate rock formations and amplifying their natural beauty without diminishing their authenticity. The guided tours offer fascinating insights into the cave’s geology and its discovery, making the experience both educational and awe-inspiring. For those seeking a touch of adventure, the underground boat ride through the final stretch of the cave adds a magical sense of exploration. The Prometheus Caves remind every visitor of nature’s artistry and the quiet grandeur hidden beneath the earth’s surface.

Ticket for tourist is 25 GEL. The tour is about 1 hour, guide included. But we had such a huge group that we couldn’t hear the guide at all. It was so packed and disorganised. The management needs to improve this for sure. The cave is very beautiful but the overall experience was poor. So if you set your expectations right, you might be able to enjoy it more 😅

Pros: The natural site itself is breathtaking. So many beautiful halls, nice music inside creating atmosphere, good distance to enjoy the view but not too exhausting. Cons: Logistics of the place is not ideal. The guided groups they form are close to 100 people. So considering people follow the narrow path whose in the end do not hear guide at all and always late to all explanations.

The caves are a natural wonder. The different formations underground are mesmerizing and it's a 1.4km walk on a cemented track once underground. The track is a bit wet so be sure to wear proper comfortable shoes that are tough to get wet. There are no exists midway and the tour takes about an bit over an hour to complete. There are 6 main halls with each having its own significance.

It's a very calm and serene place, located at the top of a small hill. Hence will offer a great view of the city from top, also a great spots to click some pics. The cathedral with its unique appearance in the green background is awsome. Inside the cathedral is very calm and spiritual. It's a must visit place in kutasi.

A beautiful 11th century cathedral sitting on the hill in Kutaisi city is simply beautiful. We came in the evening and the evening rays of sun gave the church a warm and serene atmosphere. It is full of stories and worth for us to know about. For me, it is a must visit sightseeing if you are in Kutaisi.

Kutaisi's premier cathedral is big and impressive. It is surrounded by the picturesque ruins of a royal castle, which are fun to explore. Stunning views of Kutaisi can also be found on the site. Definitely a must see sight in Kutaisi.

Wonderful cathedral and one of the old churches. The current construction is sort of mixed with the new structure added to support the existing one and stands out .the view front the mount of the town below is awesome

Huge church beautifully restored. Inside the church, you'll find the much debated shroud of Turin. Very interesting visit. We even caught 2 weddings during our short visit.

Beautiful old cathedral. You can see the whole city of Kutaisi from a nice viewpoint near the cathedral.

Beautiful historic Cathedral offering beautiful views over surrounding countryside. It is really a masterpiece of medieval Georgian architecture, built in 1003 during the reign of King Bagrat III to commemorate the unification of Georgia. Its location atop Ukimerioni Hill offers sweeping views of Kutaisi and the surrounding landscape. The cathedral’s triconch cross-domed design, innovative use of high piers for the dome, and once richly decorated interiors with mosaics and frescoes set it apart architecturally. Over centuries, it endured devastation—most notably in 1692 when Ottoman troops destroyed its dome and ceiling. Restoration efforts, especially those completed in the 21st century, have sparked debate about authenticity, leading to its removal from the UNESCO World Heritage List. Despite this, Bagrati remains a beloved symbol of Kutaisi and Georgian identity, hosting regular religious services and popular local weddings. Its blend of ancient stonework and modern restoration, along with its storied past, make it a compelling destination for history enthusiasts and cultural travelers alike.

A nice spot with the nature, close to the center of Kutaisi. Usually not very crowded. Still many areas needs better maintenance and planning however changes are happening as of March 2025. It can get noisy at times, especially in the old garden due to some construction works by the park. Entry fee is 5 Lari

The Kutaisi Botanical Garden is such a peaceful and charming place to spend a few hours. It feels like stepping into a calm oasis right in the city. The garden is full of beautiful trees and plants, and there are plenty of benches where you can sit, relax, and just enjoy the greenery. My favorite part was the little chapel built inside a centuries-old oak tree—it’s something truly unique and magical to see. The paths are pleasant to walk, and you’ll also come across fountains, sculptures, and quiet corners that make it perfect for photos or simply unwinding. The entrance fee is very affordable, and it’s an easy walk from the city center. While it’s not the most polished or modern botanical garden, that’s part of its charm—it feels authentic, natural, and very serene. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Kutaisi who wants a relaxing break from sightseeing. 🌿✨

Went there in the summer and at 33°C. Honestly some super cute things, in general a little bit more maintenance on paths and exhibits. Some text was in Georgian only. Cool place in general 👍🏼

A very pleasant walk at the edge of the city of Kutaisi.. There is an entrance fee of 4€. It's a cute, relaxing place where you can spend some time in the nature.. Not much to do actually but why not take a stroll there as the sights of the city are not that numerous?

such a cute place to relax 5 lari you pay but it's worth it all is kept in good and beautiful state, plants seem healthy 💜

Its a beautiful place and very large. Took us around an hour to complete. Simply put, its like taking a walk in the forest. You can hear birds chriping all over. They have benches everywhere, so you can take a break and enjoy nature's beauty.

The gardens - nice enough garden to walk around but could do with some more up keeping. The toilet facilties are plenty however the main toilets in the centre (with western style toilets instead of the hole in the ground) we’re disgusting with urine all of the floor. Price - surprisingly, we had to pay 5GEL to enter which once we’d walked round the whole place (in around 30 minutes with kids) it felt very expensive.

Nice place to see local life and buy fresh fruits, spices, and traditional snacks. The market is full of local products and good prices, but most sellers weren’t very friendly with tourists. Still worth a quick visit if you’re in Kutaisi. Just bring cash and don’t expect much English.

The historic Green Bazaar is something you should definitely check out when in Kutaisi. Bring some cash as most vendors don’t accept card/transfer. Its good to allocate 1-2 hours to explore this huge market fully. Google says it closes at 19:00, but when we came at 18:00 most stands were already closing down so come earlier if you can

As a tourist, I love visiting local markets, and the Green Market in Kutaisi was a great experience! It’s full of life, with friendly locals, fresh produce, and all kinds of unique products. I really enjoyed walking around, chatting with the sellers, seeing what they offer, and taking interesting photos. The prices are good, and it’s a perfect place to get a feel of local life. Highly recommended!

Lively farmers market with plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and much more. Very nice to walk through.

"A vibrant taste of everyday life in Kutaisi ✨" The Green Bazaar is one of the most authentic places you can visit in Kutaisi. It is not just a tourist attraction but an important spot for locals who come here daily to do their grocery shopping. Walking through the market gives you a real feel of Georgian life, with fresh produce, spices, and all kinds of goods on display. Even though we did not buy anything, just wandering through the busy aisles and taking in the sights and smells was an experience in itself. It is lively, colorful, and absolutely a must-visit for anyone who wants to see the local side of Kutaisi. – Genuine Gems Overview – ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price Paid: Free 💎 A Genuine Gem? Yes!

It is located in a city centre, worth visiting for those who want fresh fruits or vegetables, cheese and spices.

Loved visiting the food market in Kutaisi! Buy the walnuts and fresh fruit.

The greenest of the green!! Sataplia Nature Reserve is one of the most beautiful nature reserves I have seen. From the cave to the beautiful trees!! It is one of the best places to visit if you are in Kutaisi Georgia. Breathtaking view and weather! A lot of things to see. Walking in the middle of the road full of green trees, made my day visit even more beautiful.

Sataplia Nature Reserve is a really fun and unique place, especially for families with children. The combination of dinosaurs and nature is amazing, it feels like a mix of adventure and learning at the same time. The highlight for us was seeing the real dinosaur footprints (or at least they certainly look real!) which made the experience feel very special. The park itself is beautiful, with a clear and easy route to follow. Along the way, there are breathtaking viewpoints where you can stop and enjoy the scenery. Everything is well maintained, and it makes for a relaxed but interesting walk. Unfortunately, the dinosaur museum display inside the building was closed during our visit, which was a bit disappointing. It would have added more depth to the experience. That said, the outdoor dinosaur representations, animated robotic figures, were very well done and really impressed the kids. Overall, Sataplia is a very nice attraction. It’s educational, fun, and set in a gorgeous natural environment. Definitely recommended for families, especially if you’re traveling with children who love dinosaurs.

True nature reserve with history. Be prepared to walk or carry children's. Must visit place for kids and for history and nature lovers.

perfect, we took a trail from Kutaisi (starts at the Bagrati Cathedral) and walked around reservation, pretty unique pretty nice park

After reading some of the reviews, this place turned out to be a very pleasant surprise! It’s a great spot to spend 1,5-2 hours walking around and enjoying nature, a cave, dinosaur footprints, and a beautiful panoramic view. Our tour guide, a young woman, was absolutely amazing - very helpful and went out of her way to explain everything in English for the tourists, and she spoke excellent English too. Highly recommended!

The paleopark is so beautiful and close to Kutaisi. The first step is dinosaur footprints that are from Early Cretaceous. I recommend everyone to see the footprints that are thought to belong to Satapliasaurus. Then, the limestone cave is impressive and so cool. Stalactites and stalagmites are a masterpiece. Afterwards you can experience the observation deck to see the Caucasia landscape that is home to immense forests on the foothills.

must visit, you will see foot prints of dinosaurs, and cabe with broken heart and glass bridge

The views from the bridges are spectacular! Definitely worth a visit. The walk is not long — only the first part is a bit scary, as you walk on a perforated walkway. The whole experience takes less than 30 minutes. Advice about the road there: There is NO NEED to hire a driver or to walk the way. After buying tickets at the visitor center, drive your car a little way back along the road you came from. Soon, you will see a sign to the left for "Okatse Canyon", and a paved road will take you all the way to the starting point. Any vehicle can go there. We hired a driver and paid 70 GEL — totally unnecessary. Anyone can drive the road. It's narrow, but not a problem.

The place is closed, no information why and when will be open. Getting here wasn’t simple, fallow the road signs and don’t be scared about route there, it’s heavily damaged at some places… by the time you will be going there maybe will be fixed. Edit at the 30.03.2025 I went there again and this time was open. From the cash desk to the entrance to the canyon you have a walk that will take about an hour. In a canyon is path that will take around 30 minutes. At the end of the trial you can take taxi back to the visitors center or walk back. I’m walking fast so whole path took me 2h. In average people spent there around 3h. If you are in Kutaisi or near by, it’s worth to visit it. Ticket cost 20gel

Beautiful route to the canyon and walking above it revels great view. There are many stairs along the trail. We've done the walking from the visitors center, but it is also possible to reach by car to the begining of the canyon itself. Highly recommended!

Lady at reception barely speaks English and is hard to understand that actually you need to walk 2.5km to the actual canyon where your tickets will be checked. Then the actual canyon walk starts. So it’s a steep 7km hike that can take you 3h. There is an option to stop directly at the canyon by car and skip these 2.5km of nonsense walk in a forest full of pigs and horses. We took a local guy waiting at the end of the actual canyon with a Lada Niva for 60 lari to take us back to the visitor center. This saved us like 1.5-2h going back. Careful with the decisions :) The canyon itself is really nice.

Great place. Newly made attraction but very nice view. It's worth to take a taxi back after the hike as it's uphill. We managed to get down the price to 20lari for a car from 40. Also be careful of Google maps. They don't work correctly if you are coming from Prometheus Cave (05.2025) and because of some reason the only proper road is avoided by the algorithms. Follow the road that's available on Street view like on my photos! Other roads are off-road!

Visitor center is little bit far from canyon. They suggest you take Delica car to go quickly to canyon for 25 Gel . And I think it's good option if you are not long hiking lover. There is also restaurant near visitor center with good staff and cheap prices.

An incredible experience! Highly recommended. Lots of stars and about a 45 minute walk from the visitor center to the canyon. We took a car back which was a fun ride that costs us 25 Lari.

Amazing place! The food was excellent and the service too! I will definitely come back!

I guess it’s reopened and has a new owner, definitely got a new name - Medea. All waiters spoke English, were able to explain the dishes, nice polite young people :) There weren’t that many people, since it was quite early, and everything was served without any delay. My khinkali craving got fulfilled, and left happy and satisfied.

The atmosphere is nice, the staff is friendly. Chicken shkmeruli was a bit salty to my taste, but tasty, ajaruli was a do good one too, however ojakhuri disappointed us, having burnt and undercooked potatoes. Overall a nice place to visit, but be careful in choosing what to order.

This is as exceptional place that brings together an interesting piece of epics and very good food. We had a mainly vegan lunch based on rolled eggplants and a mix of roasted vegetables. We also had a good glass of red Georgian wine. Altogether a place to visit again!

We visited this restaurant our first night in town and tried traditional meals including adjarian khachapuri, shkmeruli chicken, and khinkali with meat. The food quality was top as well as the service and ambiance. The next night we checked a couple other places in town and returned to this restaurant again after not being impressed by any others. The second night we had the quail, veal with potatoes, khinkali with mixed meat, and lobiani. I would recommend each dish we tried depending on your personal taste (quail doesnt have much meat and a lot of bones byt that is obvious) . Quality was exceptional. Thanks to our server George for completing our experience with complimentary chacha! Each meal was between 25-30 eur and we definitely ordered too much. Try and you won't be dissappointed.

Nice new restaurant off the park in Kutaisi. The Soviet-era bas-reliefs depicting Jason and the Argonauts are phenomenal and I'm so glad the owners decided to keep them! They really make this restaurant special. The food is good – we particularly liked the ajapsandali and the khinkali. There was a little hiccup at the end of the night with the payment terminal not working, but otherwise the service was great.

This restaurant in the center of Kutaisi impresses with its Soviet style mural. We took the advice from a travel blog and ended up there for dinner. The menu is only usable online and they serve the regular Georgian dishes with some extras. The food was good, not the best we had in Georgia, but okay. Unfortunately the service was a disaster. It was slow, our food came in an absolute random order....we finished dinner with the salad, which came dead last. The bottle of white wine was mediocre and for that a bit too expensive and on top of that...it was served warm. The servers were stressed and unorganized. All in all not the place I would return to in Kutaisi.

We found this place by chance. We were a group of 9 people. We needed to have a tasty meal, it was my birthday. We were invited to the terrace with a beautiful view of the city. The staff was very friendly and polite. All the food was incredibly delicious. They gave me dessert from the establishment at the end of the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who comes to Kutaisi, we were satisfied ♥️

Had a fantastic fillet steak at this restaurant, and at a reasonable price compared to what you would spend in most places. Also, the cheesecake was a great way to end the meal. Compliments to all the staff for such a great place.

Very nice and welcoming staff, amazing location and the atmosphere and the interior is also very pleasant and comfortable. We had a Caesar salad with chicken - the portion was huge for only 19 gel (quiet enough for three people to share), also the meat dumpling soup was very delicious, cozy and light. We tried the homemade lemonade with ginger and honey (1 liter in a jug) and it was very refreshing and tasty as well. Highly recommended !

😋 We ordered Beef Stroganoff and Pork BBQ. Both dishes were great (not too salty for Asian) ✅ Nice cafe (the cafe is located in the hotel) 💸 The price was reasonably. 🥲⏱️ The food takes quite a while. If you're very hungry, you should order a salad first, as I've noticed other tables get their salads quickly.

Lovely European style restaurant which does not disappoint. Lovely waiter attending us all evening. Clean and great design.

We ordered Georgian salad, chicken in garlic sauce and pork barbecue with Mexican potatoes. The main dishes were very tasty. The chicken was roasted well and the garlic sauce was very tasty. The salad could’ve had more dressing/spices, but overall it was a good salad. The atmosphere is nice. The place is not crowded. The waitress was very nice and friendly.

We celebrated our wedding in this restaurant and hotel. this is super service and the most delicious dishes in Kutaisi! You will not regret! everything is great here!😘🇬🇪🥰

The Colchis Fountain in the heart of Kutaisi is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and an absolute must-visit, especially if you're exploring the historic center on foot. It's located right in the middle of a busy roundabout at David Agmashenebeli Square, and it's impossible to miss due to its striking design and prominent gold-colored statues. The fountain adds a sense of charm and grandeur to the square, making it a great first impression for visitors arriving in Kutaisi. What really makes the Colchis Fountain special is its unique artistic concept. The sculptures are replicas of ancient Colchian artifacts found in Georgia, some of which are thousands of years old. The oversized golden figures—horses, rams, lions, and mythical symbols—reflect the rich history of the Kingdom of Colchis, the land of the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology. It’s a fascinating blend of ancient culture with modern urban design, and seeing them up close gives you a deeper appreciation of Georgian heritage. The fountain is especially beautiful at night when it’s lit up. The lights give the golden sculptures a magical glow, making it an ideal spot for night photography or just a peaceful evening walk. While you can’t get too close due to the traffic circle, there are great photo angles from the nearby sidewalks, cafes, or even the steps of the Drama Theatre nearby. If you're lucky, you might even catch the water jets dancing in rhythm during the evening. The area around the fountain is also vibrant and lively. It’s surrounded by important landmarks like the Kutaisi Drama Theatre, cafes, and local shops. You’ll often see locals meeting friends here, tourists taking photos, or street performers entertaining passersby. It’s a great starting point for exploring the rest of old Kutaisi, including the White Bridge, Rioni River, and historic streets full of character. Overall, the Colchis Fountain is more than just a decorative centerpiece—it’s a symbol of Kutaisi’s deep connection to its ancient past. Whether you're interested in history, photography, or simply looking for a scenic spot to take a break during your travels, this fountain delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for a visit, both day and night!

It is a fountain located at the center of square, the center of Kutaisi. It is free. You can cross the street to enter, but be careful when crossing. It has been made to show the ancient object that have been discovered here. There is a Macdonald near with a view to this square. In addition a large park and many exchanges.

​In the quiet, cool hours before Kutaisi stirs to life, a magical transformation takes place at the Colchis Fountain. As the first rays of morning sunlight break over the horizon, they catch the golden statues of horses, lions, and stags, causing them to shimmer and glow against the soft, pre-dawn light. ​This iconic landmark, a stunning replica of ancient Colchian artifacts, stands in the heart of the city, its polished marble and bronze figures taking on a new, ethereal beauty. The water, calm and still in the early air, perfectly reflects the sky's changing hues from deep violet to brilliant orange. It's a moment of profound tranquility, a stark contrast to the bustling energy that will soon fill the square. ​For a photographer or a solitary traveler, this is the perfect time to witness the fountain in its most serene and majestic state, a timeless symbol of Georgia's rich history bathed in the morning's golden embrace.

Great place. A bit crowded and you need to be careful on the road, but worth seeing.

Beautiful round about in the city centre. Be careful reaching the fountain as the vehicles cross from all sides

main part of Kutaisi main square and the park /. city slits into two parts from here. to the bridges and Bagradi is expensive and fancy parts but other part is very boring

A Fountain located in the heart of the City having a few roads in all directions and the Colchis Fountain in the middle.. Iconic place to take a lot of pics with friends. .

Beautiful coffee place in the city of Kutaisi! 🤩 The staff are really nice, and the prices are reasonable. I ordered banana waffles and a cappuccino; it was really nice, 10/10! 😋 recommended if you are visiting Kutaisi. 💯

A beautiful place with unique interior and rich historical background, settled at painter's house museum. Welcoming, polite and super attentive staff leaving the best possible impression. The tastiest mushroom cream-soup I've ever tried.

Cozy interior beautifully decorated. Prices for the teapots are not included on the menu tho. AC is a bit overpowering. They did not have all the cakes on the menu. Overall , great decorations and nice to have some tea in the beautiful city of Kutaisi

"A true hidden gem where tea, taste, and atmosphere come together ✨" Tea House Foe-Foe is one of those places you almost walk past without noticing. Tucked away behind a door that leads up a small staircase, it reveals a cozy and authentic restaurant once you reach the top. We visited in the morning and enjoyed fresh crepes with a pot of delicious gunpowder green tea. It was quiet during our visit, which gave us time to soak in the unique and charming interior. Later that same day, we passed by again and found the place buzzing, with the balcony and restaurant full of people enjoying themselves. That contrast makes it a spot that works equally well for a peaceful morning tea or a lively evening out. It is a special find in Kutaisi and definitely worth seeking out. – Genuine Gems Overview – ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price Paid: 50 GEL 💎 A Genuine Gem? Yes!

Have to agree with previous reviewers, the air freshener inside is overpowering. The bearded manager should really be dealing with problems personally (like serving white wine at room temperature and thinking it is acceptable) instead of relaying messages on Google Translate via his young waiter when he is sat 5 metres away. Decor wise, stunning. Very homely and chill. The homemade wine was lovely and would recommend. Can imagine it would be really cosy on a colder day. Thanks to the young waiter, who was was smiley and professional.

Wonderful Place from the ambience to the food and kindness of staff. We had dinner with our children and everything was great: pizza, kachapuri, appetizers, salad, lasagna, and the tea. The staff treated us to a glass of wine on the house. We will be back!!!!

HORRIBLE! Would NOT recommend to go there.. First we waited for 30 minutes for our Cappuccino, which was a watery milk with pieces in it.. worst coffee ever. We ordered 3 dishes. A wrong dish came after like 45 minutes. We said again the three dishes we wanted. Then suddenly they said: ah no, they dont have it.. So we waited another 10 minutes and then they only 1 dish came. We waited and waited and questioned our life choices.. the waiter only had 4 guests to serve and he didnt seem to understand… it took more than one hour to get our food. We could not eat the signature dish. It was disgusting. The avocado toasts which were supposed to come with bacon came without. Ham crep came with bacon. Horrible.

Closed to enter now a days I guess , I visited in day time did get enter but the statue outside you can take pictures and it’s really famous, I’m not sure about who’s statue it is tbh but if you are a traveler and want add up beautiful pics with your collection this place is good for that. Nothing much to experience

We came here very excited with my mom, this week is sukkot and we thought people might be here to talk and celebrate. But we got there and there was only a Jewish Georgian-polish man at the entrance. He invited us in. My mom was telling him how excited she was to be in a synagogue and telling him other stuff, but he was in a hurry and just wanted us to give charity to them, after we said no (cuz we didn't carry cash) he said that he needed to go home and kicked us out of the synagogue (his face completely change after we said we didn't have cash). Very sad that people supposed to take care of God's house are like this.

The synagogue itself is absolutely stunning and definitely worth the visit. Unfortunately the experience with the people who are responsible for it was terrible. When we arrived there was no one when the synagogue was supposed to be open. After several calls a guy arrived, not even from the community, just a random janitor who let us in for no more than five minutes, was pointing his watch all the time and didn't even let me wrapping Tefilin in peace. I really hope this beautiful temple was in the hands of better people.

Fantastic piece of Kutaisi Jewish history from when there were over 25,000 Jews in the city. The street gate door a little tough to open, but it opens, and the shamash (the man in charge day to day) couldn't have been nicer. We chatted for a while - he has a particular interest in The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin!

Nice

Amazing on the inside, it's really worth going!

Beautiful building and very friendly people

Kutaisi Central Market popularly known as Green Bazaar is located at Paliashvili Street in Kutaisi, Imereti region. It is one of the largest indoor complex where trade related to agricultural products takes place. One will find handicrafts, fresh vegetables, fruits, natural dairy products, meat, a variety of spices and many other products for your kitchen. Also, in this market you can buy natural, rural products grown by farmers in neighboring villages. If you are fond of cooking, you will find everything here to prepare the most delicious dishes. You can also buy thousands of chiri, churchkhelas (traditional Georgian sweets) and other natural sweets in Kutaisi market. You will discover a large selection of both local and exotic products here.

An authentic place to buy spices, souvenirs, vegetables, and fruits.

It’s like laiki agora ellada. Try to go through all of it.

The market has everything you need, fruit and vegetables, spices, Georgian cheese and a lot of Georgian traditional things which are very good and affordable. The prices are very affordable. Nice place to visit while in Kutaisi.

Best market that we saw in Georgia. All fruit and vegetables so fresh. They also have herbs spices, tea, flour, homemade wine and cha cha. A feast for the eyes and stomach.

Nice local market that offers local ingredients and crafts. It mostly offer fruits and vegetables but you can also find there local cheese, meat, and a few stands of hand made crafts and others.

A must-see place for a turist, and a real culinary and cultural adventure! Recommend to visit it before departure, because its the best place ti stockpile georgian delicacies.

The museum has some interesting exhibits, but I found it lacking in detailed information. It would have been more enjoyable with more descriptions or explanations about the artifacts. Unfortunately, there was no guide available to provide additional insights, which made it difficult to fully understand the historical significance of the items on display. Overall, it has potential, but I was hoping for a richer experience ( only cash 💸 )

Cool museum with plenty of information in English. The ticket price is 6GEL for foreigners. Some displays also have QR codes that send you to YouTube for some additional info. All in all, it's a really nice place to visit.

A small local history museum in Kutaisi. Nothing extraordinary, but a decent stop if you’re already in the area and want to spend about 30 minutes indoors. The exhibits are modest, covering some regional artifacts and history. Entrance fee is 6 GEL, which is fair for a short visit. Not really a must-see, but fine if you have spare time.

Eh, nothing really bad but you see the whole place in less than 10 minutes, there is another part to the museum that is closed to public.. Again, very short-lived but interesting nonetheless

The Kutaisi Historical Museum offers a captivating journey through Georgia's rich history. Its well-curated exhibits, featuring ancient artifacts and detailed displays, provide insightful perspectives on the region's past. The museum's engaging presentations and friendly staff make it a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Average size, not much info given, a total of two rooms with some artefacts. 6 lari for adults, 2 lari for children.

The first place I visited in Kutaisi as I liked to learn more about their history before exploring the city. Staff were very nice. I figured there might not be much information without a guide, so paying extra for the excursion was well worth it as they assigned a historian and he explained about Kutaisi’s history in depth from the Stone Age era till the Soviet time. It’s also a good way to appreciate the local museums too.

It’s looking 👀 amazing

I put this low evaluation because it’s not safe for children to play in it as shown in the photos.

There is nothing special about this park.

Small, but nice park. There's small stadium you can play 🏀. And pull up bar 💪🏼 for those who like to workout.

B.E.A. Utiful ❤️❤️❤️ briing your kids here, enjoy the fresh air in the middle of the city ❤️ Russia is an #Occupier!

A park that is centrally located that has a nice fountain and plenty of places to sit.

i love this Park.

Wonderful service, live music, and a relaxing atmosphere with hookah available. The menu includes all the traditional Georgian dishes as well as a variety of European cuisine.

We had an amazing time at Museum Bar & Restaurant in Kutaisi! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. Salome and the entire team were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming – they made us feel right at home. We loved the food – everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere had such a great vibe – a perfect mix of cozy and stylish, with a relaxed yet lively feel that made our evening even more enjoyable.

I visited this place about 5 months ago — the food was excellent back then: the meat was juicy, perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, everything at a high level. That’s exactly why I decided to come back. Today I ordered takeaway. At first, I was charged a service fee even though it was a to-go order. When I asked why the total was higher, only after speaking to another staff member did they recalculate and return the difference. Unfortunately, when I got home, I was disappointed: the meat turned out dry and nothing like the delicious one I remembered. It’s a pity, because I came back expecting the same taste and quality as before. I really hope this was just a one-time mistake and that the restaurant returns to its previous standard.

The food was absolutely delicious! Special thanks to Salome for her professional and friendly service, which made us want to return. We highly recommend this restaurant for excellent food and service and plan to visit again soon.

We ordered chicken steak, eggplants in walnuts, kebab, kharcho soup and khinkali. All 5 items were insanely delicious! 😋 We’ve tried khinkali many times all over Georgia and this place was our favorite by far. It was a bit spicy which we really enjoyed. Great service and the young staff members speak fantastic English. Didn’t mind the 15% surcharge because of this fact. Music was also being played and I loved the cool 90’s song selection!

I visited this place with my girlfriend and very quickly regretted that decision. Right from the start, I was told that the only available shisha flavor was fruit, priced at 60 lari. Then I noticed the shockingly high drink prices — and unfortunately, things only got worse from there. We waited over 20 minutes for the shisha, and when it finally arrived, it was absolutely terrible. It had a faint fruity taste, barely produced any smoke, and there wasn’t the slightest hint of tobacco. Meanwhile, no one bothered to ask if we were enjoying it or to check how it was burning — which is especially disappointing considering they automatically add a 15% service charge. We asked for the bill and an explanation. The poorly informed waiter claimed that in Georgia, shisha is always nicotine-free, which is complete nonsense, as we had smoked proper shisha in other places in Georgia. When asked what the 15% charge on the bill was for, he said it was a tax. I strongly recommend avoiding this place — it’s nothing more than a typical Georgian tourist trap.

We try shisha all around the world and even have our own at home, but I’ve never been more disappointed. The shisha we got was just terrible. It was never mentioned that their tobacco is nicotine-free, which is quite an important detail. The staff explained that in Georgia shisha usually doesn’t contain nicotine, which is surprising, as we had no such issue when trying shisha in Tbilisi. No one came to check the charcoal or ask about the flavor - something that should be standard, especially when they charge a 15% service fee.. which the staff tried to explain as a “tax.” Additionally, the staff didn’t seem knowledgeable about what they were offering — they constantly had to go back to the manager for more information and then return to our table with the answers. The manager was guiding them the entire time but never came to our table personally to clarify the situation. Overall, I recommend avoiding this place. Even my vape provides a stronger experience than their shisha.

The experience at this restaurant was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Mariam and Anna were exceptional, offering warm, professional, and attentive service that made the evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was enhanced by tasteful classical and ambient music, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed and memorable lunch experience. Highly recommended!

The best restaurant in town. Delicious Georgian food, authentic and super fresh. Good variety of vegetarian and other food. Very friendly service, attentive to detail and making sure the experience in the restaurant is a perfect one! No wonder did the receiver the prestigious „Table Originale“ award from Gault Millau in 21 and 22! So if you are in town and look for exceptionally good Georgian food this is the place to go.

we went there three times as we loved interior/ atmosphere and the food was amazing. waitresses are also nice, nia is exceptional. unfortunately we have pictures just from our second/ third visit but everything was very delicious. also good choice of wines.

Firstly, we had to wait 50 minutes for our dishes, and the waitress never warned us that it would take so long. Secondly, to find her I had to look all around the restaurant and even go down to the kitchen to ask her to come to the table, even though there were only two other guests besides us. The food itself was tasty, but the soup was served in a large bowl with less than half of it filled. As a result, I didn’t feel full and had to go to another place to eat. I truly hope the restaurant will improve its service and pay more attention to portion sizes.

Delicious food with some really interesting items on the menu — a great mix of Georgian classics and a few creative twists, like salmon khinkali. We ordered khachapuri, ojakhuri, and the eggplant rolls — everything was fresh and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and a special thank you to our waitress Nia for being so attentive and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We came here for a small lunch, and were very happy with the service. Our servers name was Mari. The food came in good time and was delicious. They did charge an 18% service fee, which feels somewhat excessive, but that's the only negative.

Cozy atmosphere, yet approaching the border of a "fine dining" experience. Classical music, fine cutlery and well presented, taste-refined dishes. We took two veal dishes (astaragon and pomegranate, both delicious and with a very tender meat) as well as a khachapuri. Everything tasted great, and our waitress for the evenening Nia added her touch to the experience, helping to choose the wine and making sure we didn't lack anything through the dinner. Definitely recommend the place, matter of fact we'll probably be going back tonight and add some pictures to the review! See you soon and thanks again for the nice dinner. (Additionnal good point is that altough slightly more expensive than other restaurants around, prices are very decent for such service and quality) Edit: here pictures from yesterday indeed, Kali (pomegranate sauced veal and cheesy purée, and surprise of the day was the garlic sauce from the chicken, absolument perfect. Add to that thr Pear Dessert and à local artisanal wine, and you have everything you nedd and more to e.joy a great evening)

1 | The restaurant with Georgian cuisine is located on the square near the Colchis Fountain. It's worth a visit for a taste of the local cuisine, but its quality loses out to Western standards. 2 | Adjarian khachapuri priced at 14.60 GEL was good, there was plenty of cheese and it was even in the edges. There was no shortage of egg and butter. The khachapuri satiates on its own. The pork barbecue at 10 GEL was disappointing for me, the meat was tough and not well seasoned. 3 | The prices were higher than what I was expecting at this place. However, it is possible to pay by card. 4 | The menu is available in English, however the staff did not speak English. Staff was diligent and friendly. 5 | The interior of the restaurant is traditional, it may look a bit outdated. There are over ten tables in several height levels for seating. 6 | I would recommend trying the Georgian Natakhtari lemonade with vanilla cream flavor once. The lemonade is terribly sweet and I honestly didn't like it much, but the flavor, popular in the former USSR countries, is at least worth a taste for its uniqueness.

Khinkali (meat and mushroom) super delicious. Fast service. The deep fried samosas are average. Toilet is clean. Visit: May, 2025

We tried the “Khachapuri Imeruli (Closed Cheese Pide) and Khachapuri Acharuli (Open Cheese Pide)” — both were absolutely delicious! If you’re a cheese lover, Khachapuri is definitely a must-try.

Extremely good! I couldn’t wait to eat and forgot to take a picture before we mixed the butter, egg and cheese together on the khachapuri. Definitely recommend! We’ve had beer, salad with tomatoes, cucumber and walnuts, khachapuri and lobio. Everything was perfect!

Lovely restaurant , delicious Georgian food, and good service at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

9th day of the month, already been to 4 restaurants include this and this was only bad service. I think tourists choose this bcoz of the location. But this isn’t really recommended locally, I would say, or to say tourists there are lots of better places in Kutaisi!!! The place I went last night was mucccccccch better like x100!!😂 If you wanna have a good memory of visiting Kutaisi, choose other place! Staffs educations, hospitality are none. Food menu is also pretty limited. If Khinkali, go the best Khinkali restaurant of Kutaisi, not this one!!

The place is not too bad, the food is ok but extremely fat. We asked the weither if the food we ordered was too much and he said he was the right quantity, but we were three adult man and half of the food we ordered was leftover. I did not like that.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The décor is tasteful and well thought out, striking a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. You can tell that a lot of care has been put into creating a space where guests can relax and enjoy themselves. A special mention goes to our server, Mari, who was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome without ever being intrusive. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made great recommendations that really enhanced our meal. Overall, this restaurant is a perfect blend of comfort, style, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be coming back – and I hope to be seated in Mari’s section again!

Gala is truly one of the best dining experiences in Kutaisi. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort — with stylish decor, warm lighting, and live music that creates an unforgettable mood. The food is absolutely exceptional, offering a wonderful mix of traditional Georgian flavors and refined presentation. Each dish feels carefully prepared, both in taste and in how beautifully it is served. What really makes the visit special, though, is the service. The staff are attentive, welcoming, and professional at every step. In particular, our waiter Avto stood out — he was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. His attention to detail and positive energy made the evening feel even more enjoyable. Overall, Gala is a place I would recommend to anyone visiting Kutaisi. Whether you’re looking for an authentic Georgian dining experience, excellent service, or simply a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, this restaurant has it all. We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful ambience, but unfortunately the worst dining experience I’ve had in Georgia. Overpriced, slow service, unpleasant flavors — I cannot recommend this place. Aside from the pleasant ambience, there was little to enjoy about this restaurant. Sadly, this turned out to be the most disappointing dining experience I’ve had in Georgia so far, and I honestly find it difficult to understand the high ratings. The pork had a strong, unpleasant odor similar to offal, and despite ordering only three dishes, it took almost one hour and forty-five minutes for them to arrive. The bread portion was also unexpectedly small. On top of that, the 12% service charge felt unjustified. The restaurant would likely benefit from employing more chefs rather than so many waiters. To be fair, the manager—recognizable by a different uniform—was attentive and professional, but overall the service fell short of expectations. Overall, this was an unfortunate experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant.

Everything about this place is amazing, from the interior design, to the delicious food, the live music, and the wonderful atmosphere. Giorgi provided impeccable service – he explained everything we asked about and even advised us on our meal choices, which was spot on! It's rare to meet people with such enthusiasm and passion for what they do – it's largely thanks to Giorgi that we'll remember this place for a long time! I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Gala has been our best dining experience so far during our week’s stay in Georgia. The atmosphere was light and airy and, situated directly across from Kutaisi park, offered a beautiful serene view of the tree tops from the floor to ceiling windows. Our waiter George was so friendly, helpful and attentive and we found every one of the dishes beautifully balanced and just divine! It’s a pity our tour moved on from Kutaisi- if not, we’d definitely be dining there again!

Gala is a beautiful restaurant named after a famous local poet. If you score a window table it overlooks the new lovely park in the square. The food is great, you will need more than one night here to enjoy all of the great dishes. The standout attraction by far is the young waiter Giorgi (George) who is dazzling the visitors with his buoyant personality, knowledge of the dishes, and impeccable English. I could hear many other patrons other than myself being delighted by his conversation and his professionalism. I expect he will do very well for himself in the future. He may ask you to guess his age, I guessed right but my companion was quite wrong. The other waiters who served the food and attended to us were also friendly and professional. This is a great restaurant and I hope I can still get a table after encouraging you all to go there. (I am a tourist here)

Nice restaurant with very delicious food. David the waiter was amazing, he explained us very patiently all the different Georgian dishes. Quite a touristy place though, but it was completely fine. Thanks!!

THE BUS TO GET HERE IS BUS 33 AND IT ONLY COSTS 2 LARI ONE WAY. TOURISTS BEWARE!! TWO LARI ONE WAY! They will try to charge tourists 3 lari. Ask locals for the right price when you get on bus. The monastery is closed. Can not get in. Waste of time. Bus only stays there 15mins before they return and then there is a huge wait until the next bus. Go to Bagrati, at least you can enter.

XII century monastery and first academy in georgia which was built by Davit IV the builder. Nowadays it is closed but on holidays it might be open

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING I do not know why some reviewers are encouraging others to go on the weekend. Stop misleading people please. Seriously. Look at one of the photos I’m attaching. Even if you go inside, it is NOT worth it. The church should just mark itself closed and block public access completely to avoid confusion

We visited the place at sunset, it was getting dark and we couldn't stay for long. The place is so sacred with a beautiful view over the town. The big church and the small one are under renovation, there were scaffolding all around the interior walls but the visible murals were breathtaking, so were the icons. The history in the place can be observed through these astonishing art pieces. This place should be on top of the list when you visit Kutaisi.

It's closed for renovations so not much to review. Looks like it will take a while to open again.

You can absolutely see why this is a UNESCO world heritage site, one can feel the history emanating from the very stones! Shane it was under renovation when I was there but this must be done to preserve for another 800 years. Do remember this is still a working monastery. I also highly recommend doing the monks paths loop though the beach forest.

Even though under renovation (August 2025), most of the interior is accessible, except for some ceiling and upper wall paintings. The exterior is partially covered, but the garden remains fully open. Personally, one of the most impressive monasteries in Georgia for the conservation of paintings and history.

Straight out of a fairytale. We were lucky to have some sun which enhanced this magical place. Vefy quiet of seasn. Perfect place for some peace in nature.Parking is 2 gel and there is good.

Small but picturesque, wear long pants if you want to be able to enter the church, but you can still walk around it in shorts. It's free but the singers and parking lot attendent will be looking for gratuities.

A wonderful old monastery full of frescoes and mosaics. We were lucky to visit it on a Sunday that the reconstruction works weren't on. We strolled around and we admired the beautiful buildings and the view. A sight of serenity very close to the city not to be missed

Amazing place with picturesque nature around and ancient history. If you are nearby don't miss to visit this place enjoy the silence and views around. Church complex is very nice and charges you positively.

Small but pretty monastery with great views. You can order a bolt to and from there, but you might need to wait a bit for one to be available. Also the guy working at the parking is super nice

Breathtaking!! Motsameta Monastery in Kutaisi offers a greenish view of the mountain. Beautiful nature!! Well maintained. Fresh air and so relaxing. Indeed, Kutaisi Georgia has lots of amazing nature. The road going to Motsameta Monastery is just perfect. It seems you are entering a Beautiful paradise. Then once you reach the Monastery, it welcomes you with a fresh breeze of wind and very beautiful view.

Majestic views, deep in the serenity of the nature; You can barely hear to river down the valley. Surrounded by pomegranate and fig trees. Only mosquitoes can get a little annoying!

A great spot where the food is great and authentic, the service is sooo friendly and there is terasse to enjoy your food in the sun. A must in Kutaisi! My top: Try their home made wine, it’s fantastic!

Very delicious dishes, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Great place.

A cozy spot with tasty local food and friendly service. The dishes were fresh and well-seasoned, and the atmosphere was pleasant. A great place to stop for a proper Georgian meal.

Very tasty delicious food, like from home 🥰 and nice atmosphere 😇 often take a lunch here, and the best chicken soup in kutaisi 😋

Very good Georgian food at good prices, great service and a nice atmosphere. Lots of vegetarian and also vegan options.

Absolutely lovely food. Just loved everything- the refreshing lemonade, tasty and creamy soup and ofcourse the cheese bursting pizza - the best pizza I have had in a very long time!! Great hosts and wonderful service 😊

Small restaurant at one of the main streets in Kutaisi. Outside its maybe little bit loud and smelly from the Tamar Mepe road, but inside very nice. The food was excellent and the service super friendly and fast. Highly recommend!

Very pretty church in the centre of Kutaisi. Well worth seeing inside, as it has some very pretty statues and paintings.

The Holy Annunciation Temple in Kutaisi is a peaceful and beautifully maintained church. Its white walls and golden domes stand out against the city skyline, and the interior is serene, filled with icons and candlelight. It’s not as crowded as some of the larger cathedrals, which makes it a nice place for quiet reflection. Located near the center, it’s easy to visit and worth a short stop while exploring Kutaisi.

Nice peaceful church, quite area. With small area near the gate in honour of Olympic champions

Slightly less impressive than the cathedral, which is in itself not that impressive. Faded blue interior is mildly interesting but the exterior is more so. Get a nice photo from across the river.

Quiet and beautiful traditional church.

A small but beautiful church in a nice location with a view over the river and the cathedral hill.

Beautiful 😍

We came to Kutaisi information center around 4 p.m. We asked the lady if Gelati monastery is opened as Google said it is temporarily closed. She said it is opened and that it is doable today. So we took Bolt there (11 GEL one way) and there was nobody, gate closed and scaffold on the building. So we spent more than 20 GEL to see the monastery behind the wall with scaffold on it. We also lost precious time as we were in the city just one day. Nevertheless, there is free Wi-Fi and the lady speaks English quite well.

They speak very good English. We needed some information about table of international buses, woman called several place, explain us all information.

Employee did not speak English, a little Russian. I suggest that the city prepare information about dogs, I think other tourists also have questions about how to help? At least the staff can tell you where to buy dog ​​food, especially before going to see the canyons and waterfalls, because on way you will see a lot hungry abandoned dogs. I recommend placing a donation box.

You can simply find answers on your questions here 🫰🏻

Very friendly and helpfull. Thank you

During closed hours at the Tourist Centre, no information is available about the shuttle bus between Kutaisi and Kutaisi Airport. It is not clear from which stop and when it departs. At least post the timetable at the bus stop from which the bus departs. I had to go out by myself, wait for the bus and ask the driver. The bus departs from the square in front of the Tourism Center (where many of the city buses stop, not from the bus stop in front of the Tourism Center entrance!). It leaves hourly, at the beginning of each hour. Payment is by credit card only, cash is not accepted. Price 5 GEL.

The lady behind the counter was friendly but she wasn't helpful. She didn't know about the bus schedule of the airport shuttle nor she recommended any sights around the city, she just handed me the leaflet from the counter. Here is the current timetable for Kutaisi airport shuttle. Payment only by card - 5 GEL

Nice ride. The only thing is tourists paying 3 GEL, locals 1 GEL... rip off! And this country wants to join EU?

Worthy just for the view. On the day we went there we waited for almost 30’ for them to open. The surcharge for foreigners is ridiculous.

We walked to the cable car station since it was very close. The cable car ride was super short, just a few seconds, but the view while going up was nice. At the top, there’s a quiet park and an old amusement area with a Ferris wheel. We found a nice spot to sit and relax, and the view over the city and river was great. Even though the ride was short, we still enjoyed the experience. It’s a quick and easy thing to do if you’re already in the city center. Tip: Tickets are bought with cash at the station. Go around sunset for better views.

Staff isn't helpful, and their gaze questioning like why we are even there. Ride is very short. You can ride one way and then walk down.

Pointless, very short, cable car is filthy and the doors don't lock properly and know one informed us that an employee had to ride in it with us. So then we just had some old, very rude drunk man in with us shouting at us for no apparent reason. The ride is short, nothing much to see and an old park at the top.

1 lari is for Georgian citizens, 3 lari for foreigners!! Cash only, card is not accepted. The ticket lady is not pleasant or helpful at all. Disappointed. Georgia - surely you can do better than that!!

took a cable car with idea to see sunset, appearently mountain dsnt have viewpoint:D but i mean for a little ride it can be fun activity for kids

This bridge is a straightforward, no-frills structure with glass panels, but its surroundings make it a pleasant spot to visit. The bridge offers a lovely view of a serene river or fountain, flanked by large white rocks. The area is also home to various cafes and stores, adding to its charm. One of the bridge's claims to fame is that it's a popular spot for wedding photography, with couples often posing for photos on the bridge. While the bridge itself isn't particularly remarkable, its picturesque setting and lively atmosphere make it worth a visit.

Interesting bridge which I was told is iconic to the Kutaisi people. There's a sculpture there called the Picasso boy. Not sure if it's done by Picasso himself.

"A historic bridge that turns a simple stroll into a highlight ✨" The White Bridge is one of the landmarks that gives Kutaisi its charm. Stretching across the river, the bridge itself feels like a piece of art, with plenty of details to take in as you walk across. When we visited in August, the river below was mostly dried up, but the view and the experience of crossing the bridge were still impressive. It is quick to see but definitely worth adding to your stroll through the city. The White Bridge is one of those sights that makes Kutaisi’s center more enjoyable to explore. – Genuine Gems Overview – ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price Paid: Free 💎 A Genuine Gem? Yes!

A pretty wide iron bridge over the river with a couple of insta spots. A few places have a clear floor and you can see the river below. Would have given 5 stars if there was some type of activity (live music or something) on the bridge. It's a pedestrian only bridge so no need to worry about vehicles or traffic

It is an iron bridge which was built on Rioni river. The color is white. It is a pedestrian bridge. You can take picture by view of river. Some parts of the bridge is made of glass, that you can walk on them. It is funny and a little scary. There many cafe and a park around it. It is usually crowded.

Amazing scenery. A must visit. Kill your phone storage with extensive photo shooting👌😁 . I guess this is also a wedding photo shooting hub Luckily it started raining heavily while we were on the bridge and were able to take pictures under the rain with the amazing scenery. I was surprised to see people running away. Another guess is that frequent raining days are not strange to Kutaisi.

It's a very beautiful white bridge in Kutaisi, near to the city square, with amazing view. The river flows through lime stone bed. Thr bridge has see through glasses on the floor and thin metal sheets with see through Gerogian inscription and designs. A touristic spot and a lot of restaurants on the banks of the river.

From the starter to the dessert - we tremendously enjoyed Siam Thai Restaurant! We decided to go for what might be the popular choices in a typical Thai restaurant: Spring Rolls (12) as appetizers, Phad Thai with chicken (24) and Tom Yum soup with rice (25) as mains, and sticky rice with coconut ice cream (12) for dessert. For drinks we had the Kayaki beer (7), which was served with a glove to avoid the cold feeling of the glass. The food was so delicious and comforting - every dish was special in its own way, and reminded us both of the tasty Thai food we tried in Thailand. The service was very kind and friendly, with a nice and cozy atmosphere in the place. Do not miss! Enjoy the photos :)

The food is tasty and authentic. The waitress is really nice and kind. We ordered a lemonade and waited us to have a taste then asked us if we need any more ingredients, she will add for us. She speaks English that is friendly to tourists like us.

We were checking out some locations in Kutaisi and around and decided to get lunch in Siam based on Google reviews, and it did not disappoint. Great food, fast service. Yesterday we were served by a guy who was genuinely friendly and that was probably the most remarkable hospitality experience I have had after 1,5 years of living in Georgia. Today we came back for a takeaway and there was a lady behind the counter who was nice, friendly, smiling and helpful. Wonderful overall experience. Definitely recommend and would come back once I am in Kutaisi again.

me and my friends went to try Thai food, it was delicious,very good atmosphere, we had a nice server. He was so polite. good service and tasty authentic Thai food! they have vegetarian options too! we recommend! 10/10

Loved this place. It was some of the best food we had in Georgia. It was so good - we came two days in a row. Everything was really good, especially pad thai, green curry, garlic shrimp, spring rolls and cashew chicken. Pad kra pao was delicious flavor wise, the meat was a bit chewy.

I love Thailand cuisine and this was one of the most delicious meals that I’ve tried in Georgia so far! Staff was super nice, place was clean, food was amazing!!! Highly recommend and can’t wait to dine in this place again 💖

I had a delightful dining experience at this charming Thai restaurant! The food was expertly prepared in traditional Thai style, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The chicken satay was flavorful, but slightly dry and tricky to remove from the stick, earning it 4 out of 5 from me. However, the spring rolls were absolutely delicious! I appreciated that they accommodated my request to hold the eggs. The Thai pad was perfectly balanced, with harmonious flavors that didn't overpower each other. The cozy atmosphere, complete with Thai music and authentic decorations, transported me to Thailand. I was impressed to learn that the chef is indeed from Thailand, adding to the restaurant's authenticity. Overall, I highly recommend this hidden gem for a genuine and delicious Thai culinary experience.

Just extraordinary! The decoration was beautiful, the menu very diverse and the food delicious. We ordered a lot and everything was tasty. Staff was also kind.

This is a very nice restaurant in a quite central location in Kutaisi. They have a wide selection of local but also international food. Everything we ordered was delicious and nicely presented. We came for dinner when they had some lights on and also live music. The waiters are very friendly and attentive. The only thing is its a bit expensive, but its definitely worth it

We spend there the whole evening We had great service. The food was amazing. The variety of the food is great and very friendly to kids. The atmosphere is electric. We got Servis from Luka. He is amazing.

It’s an absolutely beautiful restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the live music added a great touch, though it was a bit loud from where we were sitting. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Kutaisi.

The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the food is tasty. However, the service is very slow, and it’s difficult to get the staff’s attention — at times it felt like we were being deliberately ignored. Do not order desserts here! We ordered the Belgian waffle — big mistake. Not only did we wait a long time, but the waffle was completely dry, and even the ice cream on top couldn’t save it.

- Food is nice - service is great and very welcoming - absolutely loved the atmosphere and vibes

Papavero is the first restaurant we came to have lunch to when we visited Kutaisi in 2019. It's been open for a some time and got only better. Central location, Europan fusion cuisine, green decor, kids menu and in my opinion best salads and coffee in Kutaisi. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Stuff are young students who speak good English. Open 7 days a week. I personally love this place for lunch. Highly recommend.

Of the dozen plus restaurants I’ve eaten at in Kutaisi, this one stands out. I ate here twice, once outside in the spacious and tranquil outdoor area, once inside, which was equally pleasant. The food is great, well executed and presented interpretations of classic Georgian dishes. The service is outstanding, as a solo diner I was welcomed warmly, taken care of from start to finish. Don’t hesitate, this place is very much worth a visit.

Outstanding service! Thanks to General manager and sommelier Akaki 🙏🏻 Beautiful 100 years old restored house in the center of Kutaisi. Romantic garden, terrace and indoor sitting. Great for two people and for large groups. We had barbeque, phali and grilled vegetables. Everything was delicious. Will be definitely coming back 😄

Our culinary journey through Georgia kicked off at Maisis Ezo and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better start. In a beautiful garden setting, we enjoyed what were probably the tastiest pkhali of our entire trip. But what truly made the visit special was Akaki: with his great service and warm hospitality, he gave the evening that extra touch.

Best service ever! The manager is taking care of you from the moment you enter. The menu is delicious, whatever you order you will love it. Amazing interior of an old house and a beautiful stylish garden. You can sit for hours drinking wine, listening to old Georgian songs and enjoying the moment.

Maisis Ezo – a true gem in Kutaisi! It has a warm, homely atmosphere with a beautiful garden and a beautifully restored interior, and the Georgian food is outstanding, leaving no one indifferent. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome in a Georgian home. It’s one of those places where you can relax, enjoy delicious food, and feel the soul of Georgian hospitality. ♥️🇬🇪

That was our first day in Kutaisi, and we were starving! We found this restaurant by chance and ended up having such a wonderful time there. It was our first real experience with proper Georgian cuisine — the egg with walnuts quickly became our favorite dish. We also had an incredibly delicious Khachapuri. Akaki, was so sweet and kept recommending unique local dishes for us to try. The wine we had there was amazing — we loved it so much that we bought the same bottle to take back home to Turkey. Even on our last night in Kutaisi, we decided to come back and have our final dinner at this restaurant.

we went here to celebrate finish of our 2-months trip. i think we couldn’t have better end of it. the food was AMAZING (there is the best pizza I had for this period!), ojakhuri - I never ate this good potatoes (and believe me - as a polish person - I eat potatoes a lot!). The service, atmosphere here was wonderful experience. Thank you a lot for everything, we will definitely come back next time in Kutaisi! ❤️

Amazing place at Kutaisi !! Food and drinks are great ,, staff are very friendly and welcoming. They made me happy 🤍😃 . I went several times on my trip😍. They offer hookah as well for a very good price. The location is in downtown so it is close to everything. I recommend tourists and locals to visit.

Simple place to dine Stuff is friendly & English speaking At the center of Kutaisi

Wine is pretty expensive but really good quality.

Had called this place to ask if it’s open and the receiver cut the call after speaking in English. So much hatred!
