I had the pleasure of visiting the Bridge of Peace in Tbilisi, Georgia and it was simply stunning. This bow-shaped pedestrian bridge spans the Kura River and connects the charming Old Tbilisi with the modern part of the city.

The Bridge of Peace is called so as a symbol of the country’s transformation from post-Soviet struggles to a contemporary nation brimming with life and peace. It serves as a merging point between modern and ancient life, connecting Erekle II Street with Rike Park.

Did you know that the Bridge of Peace was designed by the famous Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, who also designed the Ceremonial Palace of Georgia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Tbilisi?

Additionally, the bridge is adorned with over 1,200 LED fixtures that create a beautiful light display at night, making it a popular spot for evening strolls and photos.
