Batumi — a city on the Black Sea coast where active urban life blends with seaside relaxation

Batumi is one of Georgia’s best-known coastal cities and the main tourist centre of Adjara. It is a destination where one trip can combine seaside relaxation, leisurely walks, culture and gastronomy.

What to See in Batumi

Batumi Boulevard

One of the city’s main landmarks is its seaside boulevard, whose history dates back to 1881. Stretching along the Black Sea coast, it is ideal for walking, cycling or simply enjoying the sea views.

The boulevard is also home to several well-known monuments, fountains and entertainment areas.

Ali and Nino Statue

One of Batumi’s most recognisable modern landmarks is the moving sculpture of Ali and Nino.

The two figures move towards each other, merge and then separate again, symbolising a love story that overcomes national and religious boundaries.

Europe Square

Located in the heart of Batumi, Europe Square is one of the city’s best-known places. It is surrounded by historic buildings, cafés and restaurants.

At the centre of the square stands the statue of Medea holding the Golden Fleece.

Piazza Square

Piazza is one of Batumi’s most beautiful and lively squares. European-style architecture, mosaics, cafés and live music create a particularly pleasant atmosphere in the evening.

Alphabetic Tower

One of the most recognisable structures in Batumi’s modern skyline is the Alphabetic Tower.

Standing 130 metres tall, the tower is dedicated to the Georgian alphabet and decorated with Georgian letters. Its observation deck offers beautiful views over the city and the Black Sea.

Old Batumi

The Old Town is one of the best places to experience Batumi’s historic atmosphere.

Narrow streets, old buildings, houses with balconies and small cafés create an interesting contrast with the city’s modern districts.

Batumi Botanical Garden

For nature lovers, Batumi Botanical Garden is one of the must-visit attractions.

Here you can discover plants from different climate zones, enjoy long walks along green pathways and take in beautiful views of the Black Sea from several parts of the garden.

The Flavours of Batumi

A visit to Batumi would not be complete without experiencing Adjara’s and Georgia’s cuisine.

Be sure to try Adjarian khachapuri, as well as khinkali, pkhali, lobio and other traditional local dishes.

Restaurants in this seaside city also offer fish dishes, which perfectly complement Batumi’s warm and welcoming atmosphere.
