The legendary Borjomi mineral springs maintain a temperature of +38°C to +41°C, keeping the water warm even in winter. Rising from depths of 8–10 km, the water absorbs essential minerals from volcanic rocks, creating its unique composition.
Mineral Composition
Borjomi is a sodium bicarbonate mineral water, rich in:
• Bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻) – aid digestion and support stomach health.
• Calcium (Ca²⁺) – strengthens bones, teeth, and muscles.
• Magnesium (Mg²⁺) – reduces stress and improves heart function.
• Sodium (Na⁺) and potassium (K⁺) – maintain hydration and electrolyte balance.
• Silicon (SiO₂) – promotes healthy skin, hair, and joints.
Health Benefits
1. Supports digestion – reduces acidity, eases heartburn, and improves gastric function.
2. Detoxifies the body – helps remove toxins and boosts metabolism.
3. Liver-friendly – aids recovery from poisoning and alcohol consumption.
4. Boosts immunity – minerals help strengthen the body’s defense system.
5. Enhances well-being – reduces fatigue, relieves stress, and supports physical endurance.
With a history dating back over 1,500 years, Borjomi water is not only a famous drink but also widely used in spas for therapeutic baths and inhalation treatments.
In winter, a walk through Borjomi becomes a journey into a snow-covered fairytale. It begins at the historic “Firuza” house — the former residence of the Persian ambassador Mirza Riza Khan, built in 1892. This striking building, blending Persian and Georgian architectural styles, marks the elegant entrance to Borjomi Central Park.
The park itself was established in 1850 and has since become a beloved retreat for locals and visitors alike. In winter, its paths along the icy Borjomula River are lined with ancient fir trees, their branches heavy with snow, creating a serene, almost magical landscape.
Deeper into the park stands the statue of Prometheus, installed in 2007. The sculpture, depicting the mythical titan who gave fire to humanity, symbolizes Georgia’s aspirations for freedom and knowledge. Nearby, an open warm mineral spring flows year-round — a source long renowned for its therapeutic properties. In the cold season, a sip of this naturally warm, mineral-rich water offers a soothing contrast to the winter air, aiding digestion and restoring inner balance.
Further along, visitors will find the Rococo Pavilion — an ornate cast-iron structure brought from Belgium and installed in the late 19th century. Covered in frost, surrounded by snow, it becomes a poetic symbol of the era when Borjomi was rising as a health resort of imperial grandeur. In winter, this corner of the park becomes not just a place of beauty, but a living memory of history, healing, and timeless tranquility.
