About Tbilisi
Tbilisi is one of the most charming capitals in Eurasia — a city of wrought-iron balconies, sulphur bathhouses, ancient churches, and some of the world's best natural wine. Straddling the Mtkvari River, its Old Town is a mosaic of Persian, Russian, and European architectural styles.
Top Highlights
Narikala Fortress
A 4th-century fortress looming over the Old Town, reachable by cable car with panoramic views of the river.
Abanotubani Sulphur Baths
Tbilisi's famous sulphur-water bathhouses in the Old Town — said to be the city's founding reason.
Wine Bar Culture
Georgia invented wine 8,000 years ago. The Old Town's wine bars pour extraordinary natural qvevri wines.
Kazbegi Day Trip
A 2.5-hour drive to the dramatic Gergeti Trinity Church perched at 2,170 m with Mt. Kazbek behind it.
Travel Tips
- Walk Shardeni Street in the evening for wine and live music.
- Book Abanotubani baths in advance for private rooms.
- The cable car to Narikala is a highlight — go at sunset.
- Try khinkali (dumplings) and khachapuri — Georgian cuisine is outstanding.
