Old Town Tbilisi & Mother of Georgia

My work had me in Tbilisi for a few weeks, so I brought my wife and we explored the city on the weekends. Here's a day that started in the scenic Old Town at Liberty Square. There's ruins of the old wall along the perimeter of old town.

We only explored around the edges before heading across the pedestrian Bridge of Peace to Rike Park. We took the cable car from there to the Mother of Georgia statue overlooking the city with her sword and wine bowl. We hiked back down through the National Botanical Garden to two different little bridges with "love locks" on their railings.

It was a great day of old world city vibes and nature. The area around old town is a central area for everything you'd want to see and experience if you enjoy art and nature like we do. We were fortunate to have great weather. Check out that blue sky! It actually wasn't too hot even without the cloud cover.
