The Bridge of Peace is one of modern Tbilisi’s best-known landmarks, spanning the Kura River between Rike Park and the Old Town. Built as a steel-and-glass pedestrian bridge, it stands out for its contemporary, curving design and illuminated LED canopy, which makes it especially striking after dark. The bridge symbolizes the meeting of old and new in the Georgian capital: on one side are the historic streets and churches of Old Tbilisi, and on the other are newer public spaces and riverfront walks. Beyond its practical role as a crossing, the Bridge of Peace has become a cultural icon, a popular promenade, and a favorite viewpoint for photos of the river, nearby park, and surrounding cityscape.

  • Crowds are common at peak times, so walks may be slower.
  • You may encounter street vendors near the entrances and exits.

During your visit

  • Pause midway for photos of Old Tbilisi, Rike Park, and the river.
  • Hold onto hats or scarves on windy days.
  • Stay aware of cyclists, groups, and photo stops on the walkway.
