Batumi Boulevard
The city's famed seaside promenade remains its oldest and most popular attraction, and many would say its heart and soul. Laid out in the late 1800s as a seaside park, it's now more than triple the original length and dotted with modern sculpture, colored fountains, light sculptures, tennis courts, colonnades, and the Alphabet Tower—all imbued with a spirit of fun, romance, and whimsy. Newly dedicated bike lanes have both increased the traffic and number of rental shops, but evenings are still reserved for strolling and socializing.
