Pushkin Square is a quiet, pleasant square a short walk from Rustaveli Avenue, notable primarily for its weekend open-air bookmarket where secondhand Georgian and Russian books are laid out on tables and the ground. For anyone who reads Georgian or Russian, this is a worthwhile browse; for others, the atmosphere and the square itself make it a good stopping point on a Rustaveli Avenue walk.
The square has a small fountain and benches, and the surrounding streets — quieter than Rustaveli — have some of the better-preserved 19th-century apartment buildings in the area. The bookmarket runs Saturday and Sunday mornings and tails off by midday.
