Batumi Essentials

Batumi combines centuries of history with avant-garde urban development along Georgia’s Black Sea coast. This selection highlights the city's architectural diversity, from the Italian-inspired Piazza and the Roman-era Gonio Fortress to the DNA-inspired Alphabet Tower. Key landmarks include the moving Ali and Nino kinetic sculpture, the 108-hectare Botanical Garden featuring flora from nine phyto-geographic areas, and the Gothic-style Holy Mother Virgin Nativity Cathedral. Natural spaces like 6 May Park and the waterfront Dancing Fountains offer central recreation areas adjacent to the city's modern skyline.
