Peace Bridge

The Peace Pedestrian Bridge over the Kura River was opened in 2010. It serves as a connection of Old Tbilisi quarters with Rike Park. This bridge has a unique architectural structure. A tent rises above the bridge. At evening illumination, you see that it is not a bridge, but waves that splash out on the banks of the river. It's a fabulous sight! But the wizard has a real name - Italian architect and designer Michele de Lucchi. The roof of the bridge resembles an openwork metal web. The magic of light that literally pours plastic contours of the transparent ceilings of the Peace Bridge is the work of designer Philippe Martino.

On the Peace Bridge you can see the beautiful, ancient church of Metekhi. At its foot stands an equestrian monument to the founder of Tbilisi, Tsar Vakhtang Gorgasal. And on the opposite side of the river, the Peace Bridge will take you to Rike Park, which has a modern cable car.

How to get there:

Peace Bridge is located right in the center of Tbilisi. It can be reached by metro (Avlabari station), or by city buses Nos. 31, 44, 50, 55, 71 and 80. You can get off at the stop “European Square” or at the stop “Church of Sioni”. From the side of the Old City to the Peace Bridge will lead pedestrian street Irakli II.
