Mother of Georgia

The area at the top is truly beautiful. Street artists and bird keepers add a lot of character and color to the atmosphere. Access by cable car is very convenient. Please note that cash is not accepted at the top. When loading credit onto your card at the lower station, make sure to load enough for the return trip as well; otherwise, you may run into difficulties. I believe the one-way fare is around 2.5 GEL, though there may be an additional charge due to the card system—I’m not entirely sure, as my friend handled my ticket. You can visit not only to walk around and see the statues, but also to spend time there, sit on the benches, and simply enjoy the surroundings.

The ascent to this famous monument is an attraction in itself. The best way to go is by taking the cable car from Rike Park, which requires a paid ticket. The ride itself is already great, as it offers a beautiful view of the Peace Bridge and the river below. Upon reaching the top, what's truly impressive is the spectacular panoramic view of the entire city of Tbilisi. The Mother of Georgia statue is huge, but ironically, it's a bit hard to see the whole thing from up there, as you are right at its base. The ascent is more worthwhile for the city view. The best tip is: if you have the energy and comfortable shoes, walk back down. There is a staircase nearby that descends the hill. The path down offers the best views of the statue and, furthermore, it passes through charming streets with old houses, hidden small churches, and gardens. It's very worth it. Access to the statue's patio is free.

Mother Georgia (Kartlis Deda) is one of the most iconic landmarks in Tbilisi, representing the strength and warm hospitality of the Georgian people. The statue stands high above the city and offers incredible panoramic views that are truly worth the visit. There is a step pathway leading up to the monument — perfect for younger visitors or anyone who enjoys a good climb. But if you prefer an easier route, or if you’re travelling with elders, the cable car is the best option and costs around GEL 3.00 - 4.00 A must-see spot for anyone exploring Tbilisi!

Very beautiful place ,you will find nice view on top ,you can use a cable car to visit easier. You can go by car also but if you can't find a parking you will have to walk for 10 minutes, try not to drink coffee over there it's expensive 🫰 depending on the prices in the city .

Beautiful place on the hills you can reach via a cable car. There are a few shops. cafés there and the famous Mother of Georgia statue. We met a lovely street musician who played Georgian, Turkish and Indian songs.

My fav viewpoint in Tbilisi, as well as the way to the top itself. The area is beautiful with its architecture charm. The views are truly amazing. Strongly recommend going up on foot.

This was such a great stop as a traveler in Tbilisi! The cable car ride was super affordable and gave us an amazing view of the entire city. Once at the top, you’re led to a charming street with authentic vibes—street singers, souvenir shops, and even treats like the delicious chimney cake and my favorite, the Limonti drink! From there, you can walk towards the Mother of Georgia statue. The statue is massive and faces the city, so the best photos are taken from a distance rather than directly below. For the adventurous, there’s even a full hike up with rewarding views along the way.

Standing tall on top of Sololaki Hill, overlooking the enchanting cityscape of Tbilisi, stands the imposing statue of Kartlis Deda, the Mother of Georgia. This 20-meter-tall aluminum figure, erected in 1958 to commemorate Tbilisi's 1,500th anniversary, has become a beloved symbol of the city, embodying its spirit of strength, hospitality, and resilience. Kartlis Deda is more than just an impressive work of art; she carries a powerful message in her outstretched arms. In one hand, she holds a sword, symbolizing Georgia's fierce determination to defend its independence and sovereignty. In the other hand, a bowl of wine represents the nation's renowned hospitality and warmth, welcoming visitors with open arms. Ascending to the base of the Mother of Georgia statue rewards visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view of Tbilisi. The vibrant city stretches out before you, a tapestry of ancient landmarks, modern architecture, and the winding Mtkvari River, all framed by the surrounding mountains. As you stand in the presence of Kartlis Deda, take a moment to reflect on the rich history and enduring spirit of the Georgian people. The Mother of Georgia stands tall as a reminder of the nation's unwavering strength and hospitality, watching over Tbilisi and its inhabitants with a loving gaze that transcends time
