了解

Borjomi from the cable car

Borjomi is a famous resort town, popular for its distinctive mineral water. The water from the well here is several times stronger than the Borjomi water you can buy in the shops. Borjomi has many hotels and was very popular in soviet times, of which you will still find many buildings in the city. Above the centre of the city there lies a plateau with a Ferris wheel and further hotels, providing a great view over the region and mountains. Furthermore, the nearby Borjomi Kharagauli National Park is the largest in Georgia and a popular hiking destination.

活动

• 1 Borjomi Central Park (1.5 km southeast of the centre). Stretched along the Borjomula river, the park contains the 4 Borjomi矿泉水发源地. First part of park contains park amusements and cafes. The second part of the park is great for a walk, and reveals a high waterfall including sculpture, great for pictures. 5 lari. (updated Sep 2024)
• 2 天然温泉池 (Tsar Sulphur Pools) (about 2.8 km from the central park entrance; if you have a car, you can enter through the road on the plateau to the east; from the road a track leads down to the pools). A set of three natural hot pool that's popular with locals for a picnic. This was one pool before, which was quite hot. Nowadays, it has been converted to three pools, which are semi-warm and not hot enough to heat you up sufficiently. Some local businessmen try to make money off its remote location, and running an expensive "taxi service" to bring you back to the park entrance. Don't give em a reason. 10 lari, but at night there might not be anyone there. (updated Sep 2024)
• 3 Borjomi Cable Car. Near the entrance of the central park there is an option to use cable car to get up to plateau, where there's a Ferris wheel. If you don't want to do it both ways, it will be cheaper to get a taxi back to the bottom than to get the return ticket. You might be able to see the winding house at the top, which is just above the ticket office. 15GEL each way. (updated Sep 2024)
• 4 Cross Mount 步行. For an excellent view of the city and the plateau. Get in at the 1 woods里的急转弯 (830 m above sea level) of the eastern extension of Pirosmani Street. From there go in the small road and follow the marker. You should reach the top at 1140 m above sea level after 30-60 minutes with a great view if you are lucky and there is no rain or fog. Afterwards, following the path further and down again, after 30-45 min you will reach the ruins of 5 Gogia Fortress. From there follow the small track (north)east and exit 2 靠近皮罗兹马尼街西端, which is much harder to find, so better walk a proposed, east to west.  
• Further Walks around the city – There are nice, excellently sign-posted walks from the centre worth doing. One goes to the natural pools and returns via the plateau. The second part is free from the crowd and the vendors present in the park (~3 hr). The other circular path climbs up to the ruins of a tower and further up to the top of Cross Mountain across from the city park. It is quite a climb, but in pleasant forest and with a great view (~2 hr).
• 5 Libani. a small village, can be reached by taxi (Bolt cost 30 lari). There is an abandoned Soviet sanatorium from which you can take a walk along a nice trail to the abandoned Libani Train Station (1 km). You can then walk along the narrow-gauge railway through a pine forest to the village of Tba, from where you can take a bus or marshrutka to Borjomi. (updated Aug 2024)
• 6 Tshala瀑布 (near Village Sadgeri). (updated Aug 2024)

Borjomi Kharagauli National Park

• 7 Borjomi Kharagauli National Park. (updated Jun 2020)

This park is Georgia's largest, covering about 8% of the country's territory. Its diversity of physical, geographical and especially climatic conditions set the stage for a wide variety of flora and fauna. Apart from the largely untouched nature of Borjomi-Kharagauli, there are numerous cultural monuments. In particular, there are two easily accessible churches, built in 9th century. There are 8 tourist trails in the national park. They vary in length, duration and complexity. Open from April until October.

Plan your trip by going to the administration of the office, which is a bit to the west of Borjomi (23 Meskheti st.), and get a free access permission and a map of the area with all the routes and shelters as well. There are well-marked hikes of 1, 2 or 3 days, through forests and meadows.

If you want to take a hike in the national park, get enough supplies, water, and some basic sleeping gear with you, as the cabins are very basic. You can rent sleeping bags for 5 lari a day, but no mattresses, and the shelter beds are wooden planks. You pay a small fee for staying in the shelter (10 lari) or camping (5 lari). The permit to the park is free, but make sure to have it on you since rangers might ask for it.

It is also possible to take a 1-day hike from Borjomi to Qvabiskhevi (or the other way around) and then hitchhike, take a local bus or taxi back to Borjomi. Or do multiple day hikes. That way you can even get to go to the higher parts (up to 2,600 m).

购物

Near the entry to the city park, locals sell home-made jam from pine tree cones. It is claimed that the jam is useful when curing upper respiratory tract infections and is good for improving immunity.

• 2 Inka Cafe, ☏ +995 595302077. Some Western-style dishes and pastries.  
• 3 Metropoli, Kostava St. 您可能会认为这个地方，就在漂亮的火车站建筑内，并且靠近旅游中心，价格会特别昂贵。但实际上，这家餐厅价格相当实惠——Adjaruli Khachapuri 7拉里。它有一个大厨房，可以准备菜单上列出的所有菜肴。菜单甚至还有图画书。您还能要求什么呢？（2024年9月编辑：似乎没有营业，但看起来也不是永久关闭——也许它在夏季以外会关闭，或者因为火车站的翻修而关闭？） 啤酒 2-3拉里. (更新于2019年10月)

• 6 Cafe Imerti (იმერეთი). 朴实无华，提供传统的格鲁吉亚菜肴。如果您正在寻找早餐煎蛋卷，这里是上午10点前营业的少数几家餐馆之一。可能比Borjomi的平均价格便宜一些。 (更新于2024年9月)
• 7 Bergi Terrace. 就在公园中心，火车站对面。似乎很受俄罗斯游客欢迎。菜单丰富，价格可能比平均水平稍高。 (更新于2024年9月)

饮品

• 1 Omo's Bar (ომოს ბარი). Borjomi唯一一个有“时尚/现代”氛围的地方，有点像你在第比利斯才能找到的那种。一个播放着某种IDM音乐的小棚屋，啤酒和其他饮品选择合理。室内和室外座位都非常有限。看起来像是那种追求热闹站立式酒吧氛围的地方，但我们从未见过它那样热闹（包括周五晚上）。 (更新于2024年9月)
