A useful starting point
Pushkin Park sits beside Freedom Square in central Tbilisi. The park is associated with the city's tourist information centre, making it both a green pause and a practical place to begin an outing. It belongs to a very different scale of experience from the larger hillside parks: think of a compact stop within a walk, rather than a destination that needs an entire afternoon.
For visitors to New Tamarisi Hotel, its appeal is partly the way it connects several possible directions. You can decide whether to continue towards the older streets, spend time around the square or turn your attention to the wider city centre. Starting with a short pause helps you avoid rushing straight past the setting while concentrating only on your next destination.
Looking beyond the landmark
The name recalls Alexander Pushkin, and the park provides a small counterpoint to the traffic and larger architecture nearby. Look for the planted areas and places to sit, and notice how the scale changes when you move from the square into the park. This contrast is part of the experience of central Tbilisi: important civic spaces and modest everyday corners often sit very close together.
The tourist information centre is a useful feature, but its opening arrangements should be checked for your visit. Do not make your whole day's plan depend on finding a particular service open. Our reception team can help you prepare before you leave, especially if you have limited time or a specific question about getting around.
Our suggested outing
Combine Pushkin Park with Freedom Square rather than making two separate journeys. Start with the wider square, then use the park for a quieter break before continuing. If you enjoy photography, make a few images of the relationship between greenery and the surrounding streets instead of looking only for a single postcard composition.
For a relaxed morning, choose one additional nearby area and leave the rest for another day. You might prefer an architecture walk, a café stop or simply time to observe daily life. Travelling companions often enjoy different aspects of a city, and a central meeting point makes it easier to balance those preferences without continually retracing your steps.
Planning a comfortable visit
The approximate distance supplied for the park is 1.1 kilometres from the hotel. It should not be interpreted as a guaranteed walking distance or a journey time. Streets, crossings and your chosen approach will affect the trip. Ask us to help you choose a route suited to your pace, especially if stairs or uneven surfaces are a concern.
Bring what you need for the wider outing, rather than relying on the park itself for every facility. In warm weather, plan a shaded rest and carry water; in wet weather, a shorter stop may be more pleasant. Keep an eye on traffic when moving between the park and the neighbouring streets.
If you would like a guided city walk that includes this part of Tbilisi, telephone the hotel. We can discuss your interests and enquire about tour options, including the route, guide language, duration and price. Please confirm those details with us before treating an arrangement as booked.
