Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The final destination is Rustaveli Avenue Rustaveli Square with the monument to the poet. On the square of the same name subway station. Near by the beautiful building on the steps of sold objects of applied art. the monument is beautifully situated, you can watch it going around in a semicircle, pay attention to him, this man is a symbol of Georgia.

Shota Rustaveli is well known writer buried in Jerusalem

Nov 2018

Shota Rustaveli is well known ancient writer of Georgian dissent. Actually his poem is about Arabic tribes. He is buried in Jerusalem Israel, in the church that was purchased by Georgian Jews and given as a present to Soviet Georgia. Due to absence of money for upkeep it was lost and Greeks took the possession.

a must see, I hope there where more info

June 2018 • Couples

this is a must-see in Tbilisi, but there wasn't much information in English, or I couldn't find much. I mean some information on boards and near the statue.
but Rustaveli Ave. and the statue is one of the most Important places in Tbilisi.
use metro and get off at Rustaveli station, that's just beside the statue.

Just a statue

Sept 2015 • Solo

Not quite sure why this is listed here.
It's just a statue with no major significance.

Pls give this review a thumbs up.

Super Imposing Statue along Rustaveli Avenue

Sept 2015 • Solo

I saw the Shota Rustaveli Statue when I alighted at Rustaveli Metro Station. There is a small park and a nearby Mc Donald's. Good for a few snap shots. From here you can see the Radisson Blue Hotel across the street.
