Batumi Botanical Garden is a magnificent and serene garden located on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. Spanning over 100 hectares, this garden is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers breathtaking views of the sea. The garden is filled with thousands of plant species from all over the world, making it a paradise for botanical enthusiasts.
To explore the garden, you can choose to walk or take a ride in an electrical car. It is recommended to spend at least half a day here to fully experience the beauty of the garden. There are various routes that take you through the forest, offering a peaceful and immersive experience. For thrill-seekers, there is even a zipline with a stunning view available at an additional cost.
While there is a restaurant on-site, many visitors prefer to bring their own snacks and enjoy a picnic amidst the picturesque surroundings. The garden provides facilities such as toilets, gazebos, and food and drink stands for your convenience.
Getting to the Batumi Botanical Garden is easy, with options to take a car using apps like Bolt or a bus (bus number 10) that passes through the city, including the boulevard and metro station next to the Euphoria Hotel. The entrance fee for foreigners in 2023 is 20 lari, and you can also pay with your credit or debit card.
Visitors have praised the vastness and beauty of the garden, with its stunning sea and city views. However, some have noted the lack of navigation and signage, making it a bit challenging to navigate through the garden and learn about the different plant species. Nevertheless, it remains a popular attraction for its natural beauty, picnic spots, and peaceful ambiance.
Whether you're looking for a tranquil escape from the bustling city or a chance to immerse yourself in nature's wonders, Batumi Botanical Garden is a must-visit destination.

A very large park which has one of the widest varieties of flora in the world. The garden is 9km north of Batumi, about a 10-20 Gel ride with Bolt and double that by taxi. The cost to enter is 20 Gel and they accept cash or credit cards at the ticket.. Read more » office. At the entrance you'll find several snack and gift shops as well as a large parking lot. Here you can easily get a taxi or call for a ride share.
The garden area is 108 hectares and will take at least 3-4 hours to walk the entire park. There are many very well maintained roads, paths, and mini-buses are available for a price. The garden is divided into 9 sections, Caucasian humid subtropics, East Asia, New Zealand, South America, the Himalayas, Mexico, Australia, Mediterranean, and a beach area. The beach is accessed through an abandoned train station and there is a small restaurant there if you want to swim, sit in the sun, or have some refreshments. There are numerous sign posts in the garden to direct you.
Towards the north end of the garden there are many flower gardens which were quite colorful (I was there in August). There is also a small pond with many gold fish hunting for a meal.
Along the path that runs along the coast is a 270 meter zip-line. It has a stunning view of the Black Sea, the garden, and the railroad track that runs along the coast. The cost is 70 Gel per person.
There is a small army of workers which maintain and clean the park. I can honestly say I did not see one piece of trash in the 2.5 hours I spent walking there.
I enjoyed my time in the garden. The daytime temperature was about 30 so I went when they opened at 9 AM. Most of the paths are shaded and there was a breeze from the sea. A very pleasant experience that I would recommend.

Wonderful garden! Lots of people at the entrance, but once you go in, there’s huge space for everyone to enjoy.
We took a shuttle bus from one end to another, and walked back from there. Definitely recommend to spend whole afternoon there😌
