Borjomi Central Park is in the heart of the town and features well-maintained gardens, walking paths, and various recreational facilities. Visitors can take strolls, have picnics, and enjoy the fresh air. The park is a lovely spot to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse oneself in nature.
The park includes the town’s original mineral water source, Ekaterina Spring, which is straight ahead of the entrance. The first Borjomi bottling plant was built in 1890, and you can see the historical building once you enter the park, on your left. Throughout the centuries, production increased and expanded. At the moment, the biggest Borjomi factory is located on the outskirts of the town.
There is a Cable Car at the entrance of the park which will take you to the Borjomi Plateau. From there you can walk straight into the forests or explore the area. Visitors can find a couple of villages famous for the fresh air. Do not miss to visit the small chapel of St. Seraphim of Sarov in the nearby forest.
If you follow the marked path through the park and into the forest beyond, you’ll find unique sulfur pools, which are used to treat some diseases. If you’ve ever wanted to soak in a natural mineral spring surrounded by the serenity of nature, it is worth the two-and-a-half kilometer walk from Borjomi Park. The changing cabins will be available on the spot. Recently, there has been also renovated the road to the pools from Plateau.

Having opened in 1926, the Borjomi Lore Museum is one of the oldest museums in Georgia. There are over 38,000 items on display, informing visitors of all historical periods of Borjomi.
The museum occupies the building initially designed as the chancellery of the Imperial House of Romanovs. Pseudo-gothic in style, the construction was built in 1890 by the German architect-designer V. Shveyer. As a structural unit, Borjomi Local History Museum has four departments that are as follows: archaeological, historical-ethnographical, applied art, and local landscape and nature departments. The visitor will see unique samples of bronze weaponry and adornment (II-I Millennia BC), a large numismatic collection (V c BC –XX c AD), personal belongings of members of the House of Romanovs: European and oriental crockery, armory, painting, and graphic works, coupled with several samples of natural wonder – a fossilized tree from Goderdzi Pass, etc.
In the small village of Timotesubani in Borjomi Municipality just 17 kilometres from Borjomi is the great Timotesubani Monastery complex, built of rose coloured Georgian brick in the era of Queen Tamar. Many of the frescoes are preserved and one of the most important cultural monuments in the complex is a Georgian cathedral included in the World Culture Reserve Fund for its unique paintings.
