Did you know that Tbilisi once had 10 operating cable car lines?
Today, you can still find 14 cable car stations scattered across the city — and during this tour, we’ll visit 8 of them.
We'll explore where the story of cable transport began in Tbilisi — and in the entire USSR.
We’ll uncover abandoned stations, discover where to still ride the cable cars, and delve into the fascinating legacy of Tbilisi's skyborne transport. During the "Skyborne Transport" tour, you’ll see:
A rare historical photo of the first passenger cable car in the USSR;
The hidden locations of disused cable car stations;
How some stations have morphed or disappeared over time.
You’ll also learn:
The unique engineering features of cable car systems;
What makes a funicular different from a cable car;
Who designed most of Georgia’s cableways.
And yes — we’ll even ride one of the three operating lines!
