My next adventure: Tbilisi (Georgia) – May 2026

Day 3 (Tbilisi) – Funicular Accessibility

One of the most convenient ways to access the Mtatsminda Park is to use the Tbilisi Funicular. Unlike the Baku Funicular in Azerbaijan, this is wheelchair accessible. However, the difficulty is accessing the lower station as it may be necessary to navigate Soviet avenues and cobbled streets…

Upon entering the lower funicular station, one will easily find the accessible entrance and ramp to seamlessly enter the vehicle…

Although one can only access the bottom level, the ride provides panoramic views over the city of Tbilisi (providing that it is not busy)…

To exit the upper station, it is necessary for wheelchair users to utilise a stairlift hence it maybe prudent to check that it is working before you travel…

It is also worth noting that the maximum weight of said stairlift is only 220kg.

Although the lower station is wheelchair accessible, the exit from the upper which leads into Mtatsminda Park has a small step.
