Well I am sure it is safe and all but despite that one shoud definitely walk down, as it gives way better photographic opportunities ;) plus if you walk down from the narikala fortress side (close to abanotubani baths) there is a great cafe called "narikala hill" with great views of the city.
The place to go in the summer. Amusements and families. Great views over the city. Impressive trip to the top but lots to do when you get there including a bar and restraurant. Saw a young woman there whose high heels made her look like she was wearing stities.
Took a ride up to eat one evening. The view was fantastic at night! Highly recommend this ride as well as dinner at the top!
Very nice view of the oldtown from above. Would be nice for pictures too, but the windows are not clean enough for that.
but be prepared to walk all the way down to the center in case it breaks down or stops, because this is what happened. Walking from the top of the hill to the center of the old town can be a pretty cool experience though, so why not combine both?
Very short ride for about 2 minutes, but the price is only 1 Lari if you have a Metro card. If you don't have a card you need to buy that for 2 Lari.
Not only a fun ride but there's Mother Russia, and then the Nikhali Fortress. And most especially the great view of Tiblisi
This is a must in Tbilisi! Offers amazing views of the city and takes you across the way up to an ancient fortresses/Mother of Georgia. The price is extremely cheap, and almost no waiting time. If you have to choose between the funicular and this--definitely choose this!
The best pics from above and descending, short travel but interesting enough. No need to rush, the frequence is fine and don't necessarily go packed.
Nice view of Tbilisi. Modern tramway, cheap tickets. Worth to see if you want to catch a good shot of Tbilisi panorama.
