A great place to end the day: the sunsets are excellent. The road up is steep enough, but small. Beautiful view of the city, the sea. There is a small cafe. You can drink coffee, cocktails. There are meat and fish dishes. Wine. The only thing is that 10% tips are added automatically, which is not written anywhere. But it's delicious. and drinking coffee while admiring the beauty of the sunset is worth it!

The castle is located on a mountain in the northeastern part of the city, 500 m from the sea. It got its name from the name of the king of Abkhazia Bagrat III, during whose reign, in the late X — early XI centuries, it was built to protect the southern approaches to the city. The walls are well preserved, their thickness reaches 1.8 m, height — from 5 to 8 m. The castle had two entrances (from the west and east), reinforced with small towers. The remains of an underground passage leading to the nearest stream have been preserved. The castle walls are picturesquely overgrown with shrubs, blackberries, and ivy. The castle offers a magnificent view of Sukhum and its surroundings.

When I came to live in Abkhazia, my house was not far from this place. And I wanted to see him. I was in November, and I thought it wouldn't be so picturesque anymore. But even in November, there's a lot of greenery and incredible views. 💔
I climbed the mountain on my own, thanks to maps and signs on the way up, which made the task much easier, and I was completely alone there, because it's not such a tourist season anymore. And it's beyond words. It's so peaceful there 💔

The road up the mountain is easy, the passage is free.
The place is quiet and peaceful, with little left of its former greatness. Nevertheless, it's still interesting to reflect on how it was. Cows are grazed here. Green grass, in good weather it's the best thing to take a break from the hustle and bustle.
Great views.
A "snack bar" is open during the season and there are small gazebos.

From the point of view of a tourist, this place can be considered more like an observation deck. It is located on a hill, offering very beautiful views of the city and the sea. There is little left of the castle. There are no information signs. The entrance is free, the gate opens. There are picnic tables.Check-in on Mount Bagrata street behind the Caracas Hotel. But it's better to leave the car downstairs. The entrance is inconvenient and there is almost nowhere to park from above. If you have a limited stay in Abkhazia, it is better to visit the Anakopian fortress or San Tomasso. Of the advantages, the Bagrat fortress is in the city and you can get to it as quickly as possible.

It's a very beautiful place. Bird's-eye view of the city and the sea. The ruins of the castle are impressive, as they were built at such a height in the 10th century. If you've been here before, it's worth a visit.

It's a very beautiful place. I was there with a friend. The road is a bit uncomfortable, it's hard to climb uphill, but it's worth it. There is even a picnic spot.

You can buy water at the top. They do not impose the service. The place is free to visit. There is a beautiful view of the sea and the city from above. Hiking uphill is not the easiest, but the climb is steep in only one place. We went with a child of 6 years old.

We lived in Sukhum, so we wanted to visit all the sights, and of course we went to this castle. Only some parts of the walls remain of the castle. Literally 10-15 minutes is enough to see everything. A beautiful view at the top of the wall, where you can climb. They also opened a cafe there, but that day the locals were celebrating something there. There were almost no tourists besides us, maybe a couple more people. Getting to the castle on foot in the heat is a bit difficult. Because the road is circular uphill. They walked more than they were there.)

An interesting attraction is Sukhum. Of course, it's a bit difficult to climb, all the time uphill. It will be difficult for children and the elderly. But the views from there are stunning, over the city and the sea.

We really liked it. It looks like a very inconspicuous castle. You can walk, you can drive by car. There are signs everywhere, where to walk, where to drive. The views are just amazing. You can see the whole of Sukhum. I really liked it

I liked it, but there is one thing, getting by car to the castle itself is very problematic, you need all-wheel drive. And so the place is beautiful and there is an observation deck, an interesting view opens up

Tired of coastal recreation, we decided to visit a local landmark. We walked up the rather winding streets. The whole castle consists of an old fortress wall, about 3 meters high. There's not much to see. The most beautiful is the view of the city and the bay.

It is always a pleasure to visit such places. It's like going back in time, touching history. It's interesting to guess how things were there many, many years ago. It's great that this castle has been preserved in this form, and that it is open to tourists and everyone in general

Maybe I don't understand something, but there's nothing to see there. It was a waste of time for us. Yes, a view of the sea and the city from a height. But this is an ordinary view, there is nothing super wow there. The ascent is steep, narrow, and in many places it is simply impossible for 2 cars to separate. This place will remain in memory as a "landmark" where there is nothing to see.

For a view of 5 , but apart from the view of the city there is nothing to see , the castle itself can be viewed in a couple of minutes , there is a cafe where orders are not very welcome , the boat with the egg turned out to be terribly sour , could not finish , the compote also did not seem fresh , the vegetable salad is delicious

From the observation deck there are wonderful views of the seaside part of Sukhum. There is a cafe with WiFi on the territory, where you can eat kebabs, drink cold Sukhumi, which is especially pleasant if you go up to the castle on foot))

In Abkhazia, as in India, you either fall head over heels in love immediately and forever, or the rejection is slow and viscous.. But nature definitely comes to everyone. A beauty that does not exist anywhere else on Earth

It's easy to walk. If you meet a gate at the end of the way, then feel free to open it. Then there will be a castle, well, there are more ruins. But Sukhum has a fantastic view. There is quite an affordable cafe near the castle.

You go up to the castle along the private sector. The view from the observation deck is not bad on the city. Immediately, the entrepreneur organized a small stall with khachapuri and tea. You can sit at a table. This is the end of the pros. Of the minuses- the ruins of the fortress, overgrown with greenery.

This place is of historical interest, although only ruins remain of it. Nevertheless, it makes an impression and offers a beautiful view of the city.
It is recommended for a single visit.

The view is just gorgeous, the restaurant is on the edge of the castle, but the castle is really nothing (a bunch of stones to climb up and take a picture) going up for 10-15 minutes by winding roads is not difficult at all

Very impressive ruins! Emotions at the top are off the scale from the beauty around! I recommend that all guests of Abkhazia gather their strength and come up here. And the view down to the sea is simply stunning! The only thing is that it is very long and difficult to climb. I recommend taking a taxi directly to the ticket office. It's easier to walk through the shade from there. We were walking from the sea. It turned out to be 3 hours.
I do not recommend cutting off the winding road, but walking only along it. A big snake was seen in the rocks and grass!
