Plan a trip on Tbilisi’s Rike–Narikala ropeway
Treat the ropeway as a distinct leg between Rike Park and Narikala, and check the operator’s latest service notices.
TTC identifies the Rike–Narikala ropeway as part of its transport infrastructure. A TTC notice describes the route between Rike Park and Narikala Fortress. Plan the boarding point and the walk remaining after the upper station.
Check the current service
TTC has published historical notices about seasonal hours and technical closures. Those notices show why an old timetable is not a current operating confirmation. Check the latest TTC announcement for your date and keep a ground-route alternative.
Confirm access needs
A 2022 TTC notice described the ropeway as adapted for passengers with disabilities. This is a dated statement about one route. Contact TTC if your trip depends on a particular boarding arrangement, and check current service notices.
The pages reviewed do not confirm current 2026 hours or operating status.
