The Tbilisi Aerial Tramway is a simple cable car with just two stops. It operates from its lower station in Rike Park on the east bank of the Kura River to the upper station just west of the Narikala Fortress. The route saves visitors the steep climb up the hill to the fortress and neighboring attractions.

A ride on the Tbilisi Aerial Tramway takes less than five minutes to transport passengers up or down from Narikala Hill. This ride not only saves you the effort of walking up or down the steep hill, but is also considerably quicker than the 15-minute walk between its two stations.

The Tbilisi Aerial Tramway allows you to see the Tbilisi city center. It travels over the Avlabari and Kala neighborhoods, the latter of which is Tbilisi’s Old Town. Local attractions you can easily see from the air include the Metekhi Virgin Mary Assumption Church, the riverfront, and the Mother of Georgia monument.

Yes, the Tbilisi Aerial Tramway is safe for families with children and may be a better option for families to reach Narikala Hill. Not only will children get the excitement of floating over the city and looking down on it, but they won’t be tired from walking up the steep hill.
