Kutaisi's Parliament of Georgia building is one of the city's boldest modern structures, a glassy, curved statement from the period when national institutions were moved west from Tbilisi. Whether you love it or not, it is hard to miss and says a lot about Georgia's recent political ambitions.
Access can be limited and the institutional role has changed over time, so treat it primarily as an architecture stop rather than a guaranteed interior visit. It is most useful for travellers interested in contemporary Georgia, not only monasteries and old-town streets.
