Tbilisi Beyond Landmarks Guided Walking Tour

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. We’re starting the walk from the very heart of the city, from where lies the original Tbilisi — the Old Town, with its colorful balconies and welcoming atmosphere. This is where the founder of the city, King Vakhtang Gorgasali, greets visitors, overlooking the river and the cobblestoned streets below. Just behind him stands Metekhi Church, one of the city’s most symbolic landmarks. Once part of the royal residence, it has witnessed centuries of history — invasions, reconstructions, and even a transformation into a theater during the Soviet era. Today, Metekhi remains a quiet guardian of Tbilisi’s past, offering a stunning view over the Old Town and the winding Mtkvari River.

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, spills along a river gorge beneath a fortress, mixing balconied old houses, sulphur baths and bold modern landmarks.

The old town gathers along the Mtkvari River, its narrow streets lined with carved wooden balconies, churches and wine bars. Abanotubani, the bath district, is crowned by brick domes over sulphur springs, and the walls of Narikala Fortress overlook it all, reached by cable car or a steep walk. The Mother of Georgia statue stands on the ridge holding a sword and a bowl of wine.
