The easiest way to get to Borjomi is via a\u00a0marshrutka<\/em>\u00a0(minibus). If you\u2019re traveling from Tbilisi, there\u2019s a huge marshrutka station\/parking lot in front of\u00a0Didube Metro Station. Walk around for a little bit until you see a car with a sign on the dashboard that says Borjomi (signs are written in Georgian and English!) and jump in. The journey takes about 2 hours.\u00a0 You can also reach Borjomi via marshrutka from other cities like Batumi, Poti,\u00a0Kutaisi, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This natural mineral water park is located inside a forest, and one would have to take a long walk through the woods in order to get there. The walk is very relaxing as you can feel the cool breeze and the sound of the flowing river nearby. You’ll have to cross some bridges and sometimes walk through snow if it is wintertime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It takes at least an hour to reach the mineral water pool. The pool has healing properties, and it’s refreshing to the body and mind. Warm mineral water flows from taps in a pavilion straight in front of the entrance (you can fill bottles with it). Most of the park’s facilities \u2013 cafes, funfair attractions, a cinema, and a cable car which will carry you up to a hilltop Ferris wheel \u2013 only operate from late June to early September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park’s tourist route network is up to 400-2,642 meters above sea level, and it allows hiking for one or several days.

\nIt occupies a narrow, wooded valley and is a lovely place for slow walking and enjoying the beautiful aroma coming from pine cones.
