Things to do
BIKE OR WALK ALONG BATUMI BOULEVARD
Batumi Boulevard is the city’s pride and joy. Laid out in 1884 and stretching for 7 kilometres along the seafront, it’s one of the oldest parts of Batumi and one of the largest parks of its kind in Europe
BATUMI BOTANICAL GARDEN
One of the largest botanical gardens in the region, this is a must-visit in Batumi. Inside the garden, you’ll find walking and hiking trails plus a series of panoramic viewpoints
BATUMI OLD TOWN
Most of the buildings in the Old Town date to the end of the 19th century, but some look a lot older. As you walk, keep an eye out for the information panels that reveal black-and-white photographs of what some of the buildings and streets looked like at the turn of the century
BATUMI’S WILD MODERN ARCHITECTURE
The ostentatious buildings along Batumi’s waterfront are a complete juxtaposition to the classical facades in the Old Town. The strange silhouette of Batumi’s skyline is one of the reasons it’s been nicknamed ‘the Las Vegas of the Caucasus’
