Why visit
Tskaltubo grew around mineral springs used since at least the medieval period. In the Soviet era it became a major spa resort, with a large central park, columned bathhouses and grand sanatoriums.
What to expect
Some baths still operate, while many sanatorium buildings stand empty or are being restored. Walk the park's alleys and look at the architecture from public paths. Prometheus Cave and Sataplia are nearby, so Tskaltubo fits easily into a day from Kutaisi.
