From the street slope to the Pantheon
The Bozardjiants mansion can be viewed from the street. The stop allows an energy check before the remaining climb. Water and shoes with good grip are needed. The time estimate does not require rushing; pace depends on physical condition
The Pantheon beside Mamadaviti has memorial inscriptions and a hillside setting. A quiet visit is appropriate. Weather, remaining daylight and tiredness need assessing here. Deteriorating conditions are a reason to change the plan before the wooded section
Allow time for the view and return
The summit overlooks the river, central Tbilisi and the direction of the climb. The park offers a pause after the ascent. The TV tower is an exterior landmark. Access to its technical grounds and an ascent of the tower are not included
A funicular ride is not part of the walking track. An operating station and service need checking separately. In rain or darkness, an available transport option is needed instead of the trail. The descent needs advance planning: the route distance ends uphill and excludes the return
