Climbing In "Tbilisi Botanical Garden"
Georgian climbers of all decades have been climbing at the Botanical Garden – one of the best places to go rock climbing in Tbilisi.
Best time to climb
You can climb in the Botanical Garden throughout the whole year, whereas it might get a bit too hot in summer. If you go in the summertime anyway, the best time is in the morning from 9-11. A.M. or in the evening from 7-10 P.M.
How to get there
From Freedom Square, you can catch the bus no. 90 or alternatively take a taxi for 2-3 Lari. In either case, you should drop off at the Institute of Botany (if you don’t know the exact spot, don’t hesitate to ask the driver). From there, you just follow down the river until you reach the climbing rocks.
