Mtatsminda Pantheon in Tbilisi

Nice place, going there by foot is a bit hard but worths the effort. And if you want, you can continue the path up and get to Mtatsminda park

Mtatsminsa Pantheon

Cool

Very good and charming place for tourists really recommended

Quiet and peaceful place. Great viewpoint over the city.

Mtatsminda Park is a great place to see the city from above and also you can find amusement park and zoo and food stand and also restaurants

The view is nice, apart from that the place is not worth it to visit specifically I believe. For the best view you need to continue your hiking upstairs :)

best

20 Gel Per person to come up with cable car and it is very slow

Cool

There are some important people buried in mtawminda and listening to the histories of these histories is really interesting. You should check out this place

Very picturesque place full of inner power. Pantheon is laying right under the cliff, what makes it covered with shadow giving cool and fresh air in a hot sunny day. Right from top viewpoint you can see the roofs of old Tbilisi with a wide landscape of stone jungles. Beautiful monuments gives this place a mysterious vibe. You can get into church for a service or take consecrated water in several spring points.

Extraordinary atmospheric place, must-see for cemetery enthusiasts

Amazing view night or day

Mother of Stalin got a grave there.

Hidden gem of Tbilisi! Great place to learn some history and start a manageable hike to Mtatsminda Park. Theres a souvenir shop and a wonderful view.

Pantheon for Georgia famous poets, composers and actors. Started with famous Russian poet and Diplomat Alexander Griboedoff in 1829.

Beautiful place, amazing view!

My favorite place to go. Beautiful view

Mtatsminda Pantheon of Georgian Writers and Public Figures - the burial place of prominent writers, public figures, scientists and artists in Tbilisi, on the slope of Mtatsminda, in the vicinity of Mamadaviti Church. The idea of ​​establishing a pantheon on Mtatsminda arose in 1915 during the days of Akaki Tseretelis funeral; The Pantheon opened in 1929, on the 100th anniversary of the death of Alexander Griboyedov, who was buried here.

About two hundred meters after the cable car station, access the tombs first through Metatsminda Alley and then to the Metatsminda stairway. This trail is great for morning walks and exercise and takes you to the back of Mount Metamsminda.

Must see place, if you are interested in Georgian culture.

Georgian Père Lachaise, totally worth of visit. Expresses Georgian history and culture pretty precisely also the graves perfectly fit the characters of their owners. And the sight of city from above is just beautiful especially at night when all the lamps fire up!

Great views of Tbilisi and an amazing cave.

Really nice place especially because of the view. I recommend to go there before the sunset because you can see the whole city and the moon perfectly. During winter around 16:30 is ok to get there if youre mostly interested in the view, sightseeing. The church is small and if you just want to see it inside it will take 5 min.

Great place for city view. There are lots of statues here but all in Georgian language, so I’m not exactly sure what they are for. Anyway, worth walking up.

Free and easy to reach. Amazing viewpoint

A beautiful church in the hill...if you go with a Georgian speaker you can learn a great deal

Very serene. The views are great

very interesting and pleasant place in Tbilisi

Not all that much to see here. Its gorgeous. Pretty water source inside and behind the church. Tiring walk.

Great view from the top of the mountain

Famous Georgians Cemetery

One can reach this place by taking a ride on a funicular by paying one lari or simply walk up through the steeply winding hill, like we did. From the top you get amazing views of the city. There is a small church also that is pretty charming. Overall a very nice place to visit.

After a long and steep walk you are rewarded with the best view in all of Tbilisi.

Nice place

The best place to visit! The antient soul of tbilisi...

Good place to spend with a kids. Nice view on city, Caucasian range seen if weather is clear. Beautiful park

Wow, this place is awesome, if you can get there. We walked up a really steep hill, but if you can you should visit a small chapel on the right side of the church. It is really cool. You will need to listen to a preacher for a couple of minutes and make a small donation, but than you will be able to see what we saw. Take a look at my pictures.

Good old park, on top of the mountain with good view for the cityMany attractions for kids

Huge place with rides, will be more fun with a large group. There are many smaller shacks near the rides, and a larger restaurant at the funicular building.

Great place for family day. Beautiful view for city.lots of places to eat or just to sit down and relax.

Old church with some notables buried in the small cemetery including Stalins mother

This is notable place with graves of famous people like Griboedov or Stalins mother Ekaterine Jughashvili and other. Here you can feel peace and see bautiful panoramic views of the city, read book or simply take a break on the bench after going down by feet from Mtatsminda Park or upwards from Rustaveli Avenue. Optionally you can take a funicular and disembark at Mtatsminda Pantheon Station on a halfway to the amusement park. Please dont mix it with Mtatsminda Amusement Park, it is different place!

Great place

Great place for children, quite a lot of attractions. Usually more activities over the weekends.
