From browsing to New Tiflis façades
At Dry Bridge, browsing depends on vendors being present. Prints, books and household pieces offer different starting points. Stock varies with the vendors and weather; a specific purchase is not guaranteed. The walk can still start here when the market is quiet
Dedaena offers a pause before the next streets. On Aghmashenebeli, windows, balconies and entrances continue above the shopfronts. This area is part of historic New Tiflis, without one architectural style applying to the whole avenue. The route continues towards Marjanishvili Square
A square, theatre and factory courtyard
Marjanishvili Square opens between several streets. The theatre offers an architectural stop; a performance requires separate checks of the programme, language and subtitles. The walk continues towards Fabrika through residential buildings
Fabrika occupies a former sewing factory. Look at how its courtyard brings together different studios and venues. Understanding the space and choosing a pause, when access permits, is enough to finish the route. Individual businesses, events and interiors have their own arrangements. The walk is generally gentle but includes a bridge and streets, so continue paying attention at crossings

- On Aghmashenebeli, begin by looking above the signs

Questions before the walk
Is the Dry Bridge market guaranteed to be operating?
No. Vendor presence and the selection of objects vary. The park, historic avenue and Fabrika still make a coherent walk when browsing is limited
Is a table reservation at Fabrika needed?
No particular venue is required. A specific cafe, workshop or event needs a separate arrangement check
