Rustaveli Avenue is an avenue in central Tbilisi named after the medieval Georgian poet, Shota Rustaveli. The Avenue starts at Freedom Square and extends for about 1.5km in length, before it turns into an extension of Kostava Street. Rustaveli is often considered as the main thoroughfare of Tbilisi due to a large number of governmental, public, cultural, and business buildings that are located along or near the Avenue. The Parliament of Georgia, Kashveti Church, The National Museum of Georgia, Paliashvili Opera House, Rustaveli State Academic Theater, and the Georgia Academy of Sciences, among others, are all located on Rustaveli. The Thoroughfare is served by the Tbilisi Metro as well as by most other major forms of public transportation including buses and trolley buses.
