Highlights
In the 5th century, a king’s falcon chased a pheasant into a hot spring and Tbilisi was born. This self-guided audio tour takes you to that exact spot and 14 more stops across Tbilisi’s Old Town, from ancient sulfur baths and 1,500-year-old churches to a glass bridge that blinks the periodic table in Morse code at night. Walk from the old to the new, from Rose Revolution Square down grand Rustaveli Avenue, past the church where legend says a woman gave birth to a stone, through the cafe-lined lanes where Dumas nearly abandoned his travels to keep feasting. Climb to Narikala Fortress for a panoramic view, and end at the Mother Georgia statue with her bowl of wine and sword — a city’s character in one image. Unlike a group tour, you control the pace. Linger at the clock tower to catch the hourly angel, duck into a sulfur bath for a soak, or pause for a glass of Saperavi. The audio brings each stop alive with stories no guidebook covers. Available in 9 languages with offline access.

Itinerary
Start your journey in a plaza has been renamed five times — each time by a different regime.
Tbilisi’s grandest boulevard was once nicknamed the “Paris of the Caucasus.” The canary-yellow Opera House was designed by an Italian architect who blended Baroque with Islamic arches — and the Parliament still bears bullet scars from a civil war.
Stand at the heart of the city where revolutions, assassination attempts and even a grand heist have taken place!
Pause at a tower that leans on purpose, where every hour, an angel emerges to ring a bell — and locals make a wish.
Admire the striking glass bridge, which has 30,000 LED lights that blink the periodic table of elements in Morse code every night.
Step into one of Tbilisi’s most cherished churches, home to Georgia’s holiest relic and centuries of devotion.
Where Silk Road camel caravans once unloaded spices, travelers now sip Georgian wine in cobblestone cafés.
Explore the centuries-old bathhouses where Tbilisi was born and still thrives on its natural hot springs.
Climb up to the ancient fortress walls for sweeping views over the city and tales of conquerors past. Legend says: as long as Narikala stands, Tbilisi will never surrender.
Meet the towering statue that greets visitors with wine in one hand and a sword in the other.
Hear the legend of a woman giving birth to a stone at this spot

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.
Top-ranked sights in Tbilisi: Metekhi Church, Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi Old Town (Dzveli Tbilisi).
