Where to Purchase Georgian Souvenirs in Tbilisi:

An antique market operates on so-called Dry bridge between Dedaena Park and the 9th of April Garden in the center of Tbilisi.
The market is active on the Dry bridge between 12:00-17:00 every season of the year, including working days, excluding state holidays.

This place is subdivided into a couple of sections including vintage clothes, works of art, miscellaneous antique thing, and books. Except for the traditional souvenirs, you will find countless items from the Soviet period.

Dry Bridge Flea Market:
One of Tbilisi’s most beloved attractions is not a beautiful church or an ancient castle, but an informal marketplace that has taken over Dry Bridge since the 1950s. A short walk away from the Presidential Palace, Dry Bridge Market offers a fascinating glimpse into Georgia’s history and present. Visitors will find everything from vintage goods to antique coins, impromptu shops selling Soviet kitsch to the latest in Georgian art. It truly is a souvenir hunters’ paradise!

Painters Market:
If you visit Tbilisi, visit the unofficial art market of paintings - the Garden of Artists - on the Dry Bridge, in the open air. In this vivid area, the trade starts in the early morning and artists welcome locals and tourists till the late evening.

Meidan Bazaar:
Meidani Square in Old Tbilisi is a kind of place where the distant past, with all its charm and exoticism, comes to life. This ancient district of Tbilisi has been known as the main bazaar since time immemorial, not only in Georgia, but in all of the Caucasus. Merchants were coming there to trade from all over the East, and there were craftspeople workshops around there as all. "The market area is both a meeting place and a bazaar at the same time. You will not find so many different foreigners in the world as you will there. There are Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Persians, Indians, Turks, Moscovites, and Europeans," wrote the French jeweler, gem seller, and traveler, Jean Chardin, when he visited Georgia in 1672 - 1673.
