Summary

[edit]
Description I could not do justice to this rather glorified street in Central Tbilisi for want of time, especially since I was touring around other parts of Georgia in the four days I had at my disposal with just a day in between catching the sights of Tbilisi. So no time for walking leisurely around the city. This is Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, and all I could manage of it was a quick run-through on the way to the airport, on the morning of my departure. Rustaveli Avenue, formerly known as Golovin Street, is the central avenue in Tbilisi named after the medieval Georgian poet, Shota Rustaveli. The avenue starts at Freedom Square and extends for about 1.5 km in length, before it turns into an extension of Kostava Street. Rustaveli is often considered the main thoroughfare of Tbilisi due to a large number of governmental, public, cultural, and business buildings that are located along or near the avenue. The former Parliament of Georgia building, the Georgian National Opera Theater, the Rustaveli State Academic Theater, the Georgian Academy of Sciences, Kashveti Church, Simon Janashia Museum of Georgia (part of the Georgian National Museum), and Biltmore Hotel Tbilisi among others, are all located on Rustaveli. My driver guide did point out the Opera House but we could not slow down in the traffic. Added to that the dusty windshield and the blue tint on top of the sloping windshield meant that I could not take a picture of it. (Tbilisi, Georgia, Sept. 2016)
