The Mother of Georgia (Kartlis Deda) is a monumental aluminum statue overlooking Tbilisi, symbolizing the Georgian national character. She holds a sword for enemies and wine for friends. The site is accessible via a steep walk or cable car. Visiting solo allows for flexibility, while a guided tour can provide historical context. The statue is open year-round, but weather conditions can affect the cable car operation. The cost to visit is minimal, mainly for transport if using the cable car. A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours, offering panoramic views of the city. Note that the walk up can be challenging for those with mobility issues.
