Getting There
Located in central Tbilisi, the Georgian Parliament Building is easy to reach, with both Liberty Square and Rustaveli metro stations located very closeby. Many buses also run along Rustaveli avenue past the Parliament Building.
What to Expect
The Georgian Parliament Building and the surrounding area are inextricably linked to Georgia having fought for its independence. As such, the graves of soldiers who lost their lives during Soviet rule were laid at the bottom of the building itself.
The building is noticeable due to its sheer scale and grandiose architecture.
History
Twenty-one people lost their lives outside of the Georgian Parliament Building when the Soviet Army violently crushed a peaceful protest for Georgian independence on April 9, 1989. A memorial to the victims of the April 9 tragedy is located in front of Parliament.
