Narikala Fortress

  Built in the 4th century, Narikala Fortress dominates the hill overlooking Tbilisi's old town. This ancient strength was originally constructed to protect the city from invaders, and today, its well-preserved walls serve as a reminder of the capital's rich history. Nestled above the picturesque botanical garden and accessible via a cable car ride from Rike Park, the fortress offers visitors a chance to explore its rugged stone pathways and catch panoramic views of the city. Spring, particularly in April, is an ideal time to visit, as the surrounding flora begins to bloom, enhancing the backdrop of the fortress. While exploring, don't miss the chance to wander through the fortress grounds and soak in the vistas of Tbilisi’s diverse architecture and the Kura River below.
