First Republic Square

Located at the western end of Rustaveli Avenue in the Vera district, this square serves as a public open space. Travelers visit this location as a place to rest and sit during a walking tour of Tbilisi's city center.

Getting There

The square is situated within the central area of Tbilisi. From the heart of the city center, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief taxi ride along Rustaveli Avenue, typically taking less than 10 to 15 minutes depending on the starting point.

Suggested Duration

Because it is a public square designed for resting, visitors generally spend 20 to 40 minutes here. It is primarily used as a transit point or a break between visiting larger landmarks.

When to Visit

The square is open to the public at all times. It is most pleasant during the spring and autumn when temperatures are moderate for outdoor sitting. Like most central public spaces in Tbilisi, it can become crowded during weekends and public holidays.
