Walk the National Botanical Garden

Why go

The National Botanical Garden rises behind the old town, close to Abanotubani. Paths follow the Tsavkisistskali River through planted collections and a steep-sided gorge, with a waterfall and bridges giving the walk a destination beyond the city streets.

Treat this as time outdoors rather than a quick photo stop. The climb to the main entrance and the paths inside add up, so choose a route that fits your energy and the weather. It is a separate garden visit, even if you begin your day near the sulfur baths.

Allow1.5 hr–3 hr · inside the garden; the uphill approach is extra
