I was there in 2017. The cable cars were running. I went on two of them. After the first, I needed some real persuasion to go on the second. There was no way I would do a third. And that was the attraction of the place - the fact they had these decrepit, rusty flying coffins that were free to travel on for brave tourists and normal locals (who used them regularly and didn't think anything of it). The thing is... I think the ship has sailed on these cable cars. I have heard they have closed for maintenance. I believe one of the following to be true: 1) They realise how dangerous these things are and don't want the reputation for killing tourists. 2) They realise they can make some money out of these cable cars but feel bad about charging a fee for these rusty deathtraps. 3) They are happy that they have cast off the yoke of their former Soviet masters and have progressed as a strong, independent nation but yet... The tourists are still more impressed by the 1950s Soviet technology. Damn! The increase in tourism recently has seen a huge increase in cable car activity and, legitimately, they might feel they just need to do a bit of extra maintenance. My only fear is that the authorities miss the point as to why tourists want to travel on these cable cars and that they end up just replacing them with a new system. It wouldn't surprise me - when I was there, nobody really understood why I wanted to go on them. Perhaps they just think that lots of tourists really want to go to the tops of those hills!

We went here just to have a look. And ended up buying hand crafted wooden spoons, roller pins, chopping boards of walnut for nothing. Nugbari (why didn’t we buy more! It is the walnut grape covered sausage like things hanging here and there). And some good amount of fruits, yeah and some fruity tea as well. Friendly locals and very interesting place and surprisingly clean and well organised.

We went here at 11 and thought we could go up to the amusement park. But apparently it opens at 12, it did look closed for the season but was fully operational. So at least we could go down. Cost just 1 lari. Safety? What is safety! At the amusement park side you could just walk straight out over the edge, hold your children safe! No lock or whatever on the door, just step in. We waited a good 20 minutes and got to play in the gondola, not recommended. But great fun. Superb views of the city.

The Colchis Fountain is smartly designed, with about 30 enlarged copies of Colchis jewelry on blue mosaic pedestals, with, of course, spouting water.

The end of a busy day sight seeing, the gardens were our last visit. Time to chill and wander around slowly taking in all the different plant and trees species. We sat around the huge tree just admiring its superb stature. The little ‘church’ was a surprise discovery in a hollowed our tree. Cost only one Lari and on a gorgeous day like we had was well worth the visit. It can be walked to from the centre in about 20 mins.

Great walk bridge over the river. Sections have been covered with glass so that you can see the magnificent structure underneath as well as the fast flowing river. Lots of designs on the floor as you walk across as well as writing which I presume tells of its history.
