You must visit Mtatsminda for the night view when in Tbilisi
After returning from Mtskheta, head straight to the holy mountain Mtatsminda, located at the highest point of Tbilisi. At the top of the mountain is Mtatsminda Park, which has many amusement facilities, including a 65-meter-high Ferris wheel. The panoramic view of the old town of Tbilisi from the top of the mountain is stunning. Apart from the Narikala Fortress, it can be said to be the second best spot to enjoy the night view of Tbilisi.

🚠 Tbilisi Funicular
The cable car runs every twenty minutes, with a stop in the middle where you can walk to the Pantheon located on the mountainside of the holy mountain. Here lie the most renowned Georgian writers, artists, scholars, and national heroes.

🎡 At the top of the mountain
Next to the cable car station at the top is an observation deck, where you can see the Holy Trinity Cathedral at a glance. Next to the observation deck is a restaurant with an excellent view, where we ate and waited for the Holy Trinity to light up. There is also a TV tower and an amusement park on the top of the mountain.

🍴 Funicular Restaurant with a View
Right down from the cable car station is the restaurant, which is large with two floors. The outdoor area is very popular, offering views of the Tbilisi landscape, and it's very pleasant to see many local young people buying 🍺 and sitting on the mountain top. The price is not very expensive, two people ate for 60 Gel, and it's a good idea to bring a telephoto lens.
