Built as an attraction and to enable people to take in the wide vista atop the Mtatsminda plateau, Tbilisi Funicular opened in 1905. This steep railway climbs above the city, allowing 360-degree views through the all-glass exterior. You'll appreciate the new carriages installed in 2012 that replaced older, more rickety cars. At the top, take in a view of the city, visit the restaurant complex, and head up to the amusement park that dominates the plateau for fun and adventure. Our Tbilisi trip itinerary planning site makes visiting Tbilisi Funicular and other Tbilisi attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

    Cheap, cool funicular that takes you up to the park with a lot of attractions. We went early in the AM before the park opened and it was still worth it for the view and experience.  more »

    Few places like this one - you need a hilly city to have such a funicular, that will take you back to 19th century and its technological marvels :) And you children will love it  more »
