Batumi Botanical Garden covers a large area of the Green Cape, with the Black Sea in view from many of its paths. It holds more than 5,000 plant varieties from around the world, including Japanese and other Asian trees, South American flowers and bamboo forests. Paths wind uphill between well-kept gardens, and an electric bus runs through the grounds for those who prefer to ride part of the way. A zipline is available for an extra fee. Food options inside are limited, so bring your own snacks.
Plants from around the world
The garden is home to more than 5,000 varieties of plants, gathered from many regions of the world. Walking its paths, you pass Asian and Japanese trees, South American flowers, bamboo forests and evergreen gardens. Titanium trees are also among the species on show.
The garden lies on the Green Cape, known in Georgian as Mtsvane Kontskhi, on the coast of Batumi. From several points on the paths you can see the Black Sea beyond the planted areas.
Getting around the grounds
The site is large and some paths climb steadily, which can tire visitors who are not used to walking uphill. An electric bus runs within the park, so you can ride part of the route and save your energy for the sections you most want to see on foot.
A zipline crosses part of the grounds and gives a view over the greenery. It is paid separately from the visit.
Food choices inside the garden are few, and prices there can be high. A picnic or snacks brought from the city make the day easier. The garden is open every day, and its website is bbg.ge.
