Open Air Museum of Ethnography
This museum is an outdoor collection of traditional Georgian houses and craft displays. It recreates folk architecture from various regions of the country, showing how people lived in different provinces. Visitors go here to see historical building styles and everyday household objects from Georgia's past in a natural setting.

The museum is located on the outskirts of the city. From the city centre, you can reach it via taxi or public transport. The journey typically takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
Time Allocation
