A modern architecture route through Batumi
Start at Alphabetic Tower and continue along the coast toward New Boulevard. The route shows how Batumi combines its port, experimental architecture, and residential high-rises.
Main stops:
1. Alphabetic Tower — one of the symbols of modern Batumi.
2. The port area and towers near the old center — a strong contrast with historic façades.
3. Batumi Public Service Hall — an unusual shape and major city landmark.
4. The McDonald’s building on Sherif Khimshiashvili Street — architecture fitted into a dense urban setting.
5. Colosseum Marina Hotel — a building inspired by the Roman Colosseum.
6. The Orbi complexes and other New Boulevard towers — Batumi’s modern skyline.
At every stop, ask two questions: do you like the building itself, and does it fit the city? The route is long, so walk in one direction and return by bus or taxi. Late afternoon or early evening offers softer light and cooler weather.
