The frozen surface of Turtle Lake in the city of Tbilisi, Georgia. Turtle Lake is an extremely small (basically a pond) lake, located in the hills above Tbilisi's Vake park. Accessible via a winding road, or via a newly installed aerial tram, this small body of water is a popular place for locals to congregate.
Newly re-opened aerial tram. View from the city of Tbilisi. The Georgian capital of Tbilisi used to be home to an intricate system of aerial trams, that whisked people from lower elevations to the various hilltops around the city. Most of these trams fell into disrepair following the collapse of the Soviet Union. One of these old tram stations recently re-opened. This tram connects Vake Park with the small Turtle Lake, which is located on a hillside above. You can even attach your bicycles to the tram (as is visible in this picture).
Looking down on Turtle Lake, which sits on a hillside over the city of Tbilisi, Georgia.

7.8/10 Good! (22 reviews)
The hotel is well located, the breakfast is really good and the staff is frendy, but the big problem is that the basement of the hotel is a karaoke bar, and the staffs and customers very loud outside until every late night. Even after the karaoke bar closes, I couldn't sleep at all, because of the noise of people walking down the street and stray dogs barking. The hotel itself is fine, but I'll never stay there again. It's a big shame.
