Great hotel and friendly staff. Location is not fantastic- right in the thick of traffic and above ground train. Walking distance to a large mall and the Train Night Market.

Very interesting and beautiful. Way out of the way but surrounded by other interesting sites so worth a ride out to.

Repairs still being made to roof structure, replacing facia on towers. Friendly caretakers invited us to courtyard but all artifacts pulled out of building for protection.

Sadly, after the renovation of Shota Rustavelli, this somsa place is no longer there. Unfortunate, I thought it was one of the beat somsa places around.

An interesting bygone feature of a park. Closed when we hiked there. Looked like it was no longer used and needed a lot of refurbishing. Still- an oddity out on the mountain.

Very interesting with history as you walk through time from one end to the other. Many signs in English! The end has a vault with coins used all through history. Also includes jewelry and other personal artifacts.
