About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgiens hovedstad, ligger langs en flodkløft under en fæstning og blander gamle huse med altaner, svovlbade og dristige moderne vartegn.

Den gamle by samler sig langs Mtkvari-floden, med smalle gader kantet af udskårne træaltaner, kirker og vinbarer. Badekvarteret Abanotubani er kronet af murstenskupler over svovlkilder, og murene i Narikala-fæstningen ser ud over det hele, nået med tovbane eller en stejl gåtur. Statuen Georgiens Moder står på højderyggen med et sværd og en skål vin.
