Why go

The Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory has studied the sky since 1932. Its museum and visitor telescope provide a scientific change of pace from Akhaltsikhe's fortresses and monasteries.

A telescope session depends on weather and the current visitor programme. Plan the return from the mountain resort before committing to a late visit.
