Take a stroll along the vibrant Batumi Boulevard

As a lively hub of the city, Batumi Boulevard bustles with tourists and locals alike. Stretching for 7km, it runs parallel to the coast.

Alternatively, head to the zoo corner and see how many of the 140 different species you can spot.

Marvel at the Batumi Dolphinarium's talented marine mammals

The popularity of Batumi Dolphinarium has led the dolphin to become a recognisable symbol of the city. Apart from bottlenose dolphins, the Dolphinarium is also home to sea lions and exotic fishes. Watch the daily interactive shows performed by eight dolphins who carry out up to thirty different acts for spectators to marvel at. Your family will enjoy the educational insight provided as well as the performances with memorable tricks featuring rings, balls and balancing on tails.

Visit the lively and diverse Europe Square

Europe Square, characterised by an interesting mixture of European architecture and Georgian influences, is a popular meeting point for both tourists and locals. It's the main get-together spot for city celebrations, such as Day of Batumi, folk festivals and Christmas markets. The bizarre contrast between restored facades and contemporary buildings makes the square a popular destination for both daytime and evening strolls. In the centre stands one of Batumi's most recognisable statues: Medea holding the Golden Fleece, which represents ancient Georgia's relationship with Europe. Discover other notable landmarks such as the fountain and the astronomical clock, and sample authentic Georgian specialties or dishes from international cuisines at the quaint cafes and restaurants near the square.
