Borjomi Central Park in brief
The Borjomi Central Park is the green heart of the town. It follows the Borjomula stream and holds the mineral springs that gave the place its name as a spa. A warm spring runs in a pavilion, and you can fill a bottle there without a separate charge. Behind the park, open-air sulphur pools can be reached on a forest path of about 2 km, with showers and changing rooms.
This park is not the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park. The national park is a large protected area with its own trails, huts and registration. Here you get a town park for a half day. Prices below are in Georgian lari (GEL) for 2026 and may change, so check them at the gate.
Mineral springs and the water pavilion
What you see and what is free.
The springs are the reason the town exists as a spa. Here they appear as a place and a piece of local history. The water in the pavilion is warm. Bottle filling carries no separate charge, but that does not make the whole visit free of charge, because the park has an entry price.
For the story of how the springs were opened up and became a Romanov summer residence, read the history of Borjomi.

Forest walk to the sulphur pools
A path of about 2 km along the stream.
From the back of the park, a path leads along the Borjomula to the open-air sulphur pools. Count on about 2 km one way. The pools have showers and changing rooms. Expect an entry price between GEL 5 and GEL 15 and check it at the pools. The pools do not open on a fixed daily schedule, so they may be closed on the day you come.
A winter visit is possible, but opening days vary, so check the pools in the cold months. Bring a towel and swimwear, and wear shoes that suit a forest path.
Cable car, hours and fees
Figures for 2026, with a reminder to check.
| Item | 2026 figure |
|---|---|
| Park entry | About GEL 5, check at the gate |
| Park hours | 06:00 to 20:00 |
| Cable car hours | 10:00 to 20:00 |
| Cable car, one way | GEL 15 |
| Sulphur pools | GEL 5 to GEL 15, check at the pools |

These hours and prices can change with the season, with maintenance and with weather. The cable car in particular may not run on every day, so do not build your day around it. For most visitors, the park and the pools make a relaxed half day, and the national park is the choice for a full day on foot.
Combine the park with other stops
Where to go next from Borjomi.
If you have a second day, the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park offers marked trails, and you register at a visitor center first. Bakuriani is about 30 km away by road, and Akhaltsikhe with Rabati Castle about 50 km. For a night in town, see where to stay.
