Most of the attractions of Kutaisi focused in the city center, and the center is the Colchidian fountain, which is erected here relatively recently and occupies the place of the monument to David the builder. The latter moved to the square immediately opposite the station building and turned David the builder face to the same street, or rather avenue. Avenue, however, not much extended. I would say that this is a small and quiet street. The cars here practically do not go.
The Kolkhidsky fountain represents a very interesting composition. It has a rounded shape with several cascades. Decorated with animal figures, the remains of which were found on the territory of the former colchis. These are enlarged copies. All figures are gilded. Therefore, this is the most expensive fountain in all Georgia. The figures are cascading, and on the top of the top two horses dressed in armor. These are horses of David Builder. But, perhaps, the main center of the composition of this architectural structure is the figure of Georgian holding a horn with wine in the hand.
You can go to the fountain from either side, however around it the central road, and Georgian drivers apparently did not read the rules of the road. To directly approach the fountain will have to maneuver among the cars, no one will give you the way. This also applies to pedestrian crossings. On them drivers are even more addicted, and other signals so that pedestrians quickly freed the roadway. During our inspection of the city, the fountain has repeatedly repaired. Figures have already lost the former gilt. Apparently, they are not cleaning.
From the fountain, you can organize hiking routes in different directions. Directly opposite is the building of the theater. L.Mehishvili, next to which one of the famous sculptures of the city of Georgian actor Ippolit Hwicia. It is known to us according to the film "Mimino." He played the hero - tailor male cap. The road from this sculpture leads towards Gelati. There it is necessary to sore a journey separately.
On the other hand, the fountain will see the bank building, there is a good textile shop on the first floor, which sells clothes from Istanbul. If you look at the fountain of the face, so to speak on the horses, then there will be a city square.
Here are very like to spend time local residents, especially men. They are not burdened with work, since it is very problematic in the city. In almost every family there is a person, more often a woman who works abroad - in Greece, Turkey, Italy in hotels as a servant. At the payment of money men and exist. Youth is also here a lot and unfortunately most of them also does not work.
What is remarkable in the area of the square? There is a very interesting exposure, visited by four sisters who sang very well.
There is a complex of fountains, a small cafe. The legid side is an administrative building and you can go there and go to an interesting monument. How many did not try to read, and also asked Georgian friends, so no one said to anyone who was dedicated to anyone. The monument is fully original. Climbing fragments of stairs, which are crowned with female figures in a dress, naked lady, clown. The inscription read something there about bread, but I did not understand the essence of this song.
Immediately, literally through the road, the building of the Opera Theater, and if we go to the left and go through the arch, on which Non Plaisir will be the inscription, will go to the school in which V.Makovsky and the monument to which you will definitely go, and if therefore do not go left That will go to the park of lovers, as well as the famous white bridge across the Rioni River.
There is also a funicular. It can be reached on the territory of the city park. It is wherever a child should be reduced if you travel with babies. After all, more entertainment centers and parks in the city are practically no. If only a former Pioneer Park, but there is nothing to do there.
Returning back from the White Bridge in front of you with the historical honor of Kutaisi. She was recently renovated. Immediately nearby a wine shop in which you can buy Georgian wines in original clay bottles. Such will decorate any home.
In addition to the White Bridge there is in Kutaisi and the Red Bridge. He is immediately nearby. In general, the entire center can be held on foot. The red bridge is unlike white not pedestrian. It leads to an area, which is the final stop of many minibuses and buses. From the bridge there is a very picturesque view on the Rioni River and the original Georgian buildings.
Being in Kutaisi, it is necessary to visit the Temple of Bagrat. He was renovated today, and for a long time he was the ruins. David Builder crowned in this temple. Walk long. You can take a taxi. It will cost approximately 3-4 Lara.
For tourists it will still be interesting to see the territory at the building of the Georgian parliament, and the building itself in the form of some intricate eye. During the reign of M. Saakashvili, modern glass buildings appeared in the city, including parliament. We wanted the Georgian Parliament to "move" in Kutaisi, but ... Now this building is operated for three months a year during the parliamentary sessions. Nearby more glass masterpiece. There are no empty premises here. Between the two of these structures, a very interesting exposure dedicated to the angels. Beautiful and original.
If you go ahead, then on the left will be the building of the city justice. You can get to the building of Parliament on a minibus. The fare is 0.4 Lara. Rooms 100 and 23.
As an attractions, I advise you to visit the markets. There are two of them. One in the center is not far from the city Square and Fontana, and the second market of Chavchavadze. There can be reached from the center by bus number 1. The cost of a 0.3 Lara ticket.
We still managed to visit the museum. There is a collected exposition of the objects of life telling about the past of Georgia. You could also see a copy of the Virgin, the original, which was filled in a mosaic technique and covered with gold, we saw on the arch of the temple in Gelati. The cost of entering the Museum of 8 LAR.
Be sure to go to Gelati, Mozamet. These are monastic complexes that are built during the reign of David Builder. Another remarkable will be a trip to Satalio. Here you will see a beautiful cave with stalagatites and stalagmites, as well as recreated figures of dinosaurs, the remains of which were found on the territory and from the observation deck with a glass bottom to see all the beauty of the world and Kutaisi himself. A ticket to Satámpo costs 6 LAR. Tuesday - day off. Work time from 9 to 18 hours.
