A DAY IN TBILISI
2026
Option 1 - Tbilisi sightseeing
A walk through Old Tbilisi with an English-speaking guide
We believe it's best to move around the city by car with short walking stops & cable car/funicular rides, accompanied by our trusted guide.
1. Old Town
Begin your tour in Old Tbilisi, which is full of charm with its narrow cobbled streets, colorful wooden balconies, and a mix of history, culture, and vibrant life.
2. Sulfur Baths & Leghvtakhevi Waterfall
Known for its beautiful mosaic facade, the Sulfur Baths are among the most notable sightseeing spots in Tbilisi. Take a short walk to the nearby hidden waterfall — a peaceful natural spot in the heart of the old city.
3. Freedom Square
Continue your tour in the heart of Tbilisi. Freedom Square, located right in the city center, is surrounded by classic architecture and lively streets, which is worth seeing.
4. Rustaveli Avenue
Rustaveli Avenue is the main street of Tbilisi. The avenue starts from Freedom Square and continues with a variety of architecture styles, and houses Tbilisi's best museums and galleries.
5. Mtatsminda Park
Drive or take the funicular to the top of Mtatsminda. Enjoy amusement park attractions or simply soak in panoramic views from the observation deck.

Mtskheta & Jvari: Georgia’s Sacred Heartbeat – Where Christianity Took Root
Just 20 km from Tbilisi lies Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital and spiritual epicenter. This UNESCO World Heritage town is home to two of the most revered sites in Georgian Christianity:
- Jvari Monastery (6th century): Perched atop a hill, this cross-shaped church marks the spot where St. Nino planted the first Christian cross in Georgia. Its panoramic views over the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers are breathtaking
- Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (11th century): Known as the "Living Pillar," this cathedral is believed to house Christ’s mantle and is a major pilgrimage site. Its grand architecture and historical significance make it a must-see.
