1. Your guide will meet you at your hotel or chosen pickup address in Tbilisi and we’ll begin our journey to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia — located just 40 minutes from Tbilisi. Mtskheta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Georgia, with a history of more than 2,600 years. As the former capital of the early Kingdom of Iberia, it holds immense historical and spiritual importance for the Georgian people. Upon arrival, we’ll park near the entrance to the city and take a pleasant walk through the charming old streets of Mtskheta. Along the way, you’ll see cozy souvenir shops, traditional snack stands, and local wine-tasting spots, giving you a taste of authentic Georgian culture. The highlight of our visit will be the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral — one of the most sacred places in Georgia. According to tradition, it is the resting place of the robe of Christ, making it a deeply spiritual and unforgettable stop on our tour.

About Tbilissi

Tbilissi, capitale de la Géorgie, s'étire dans une gorge sous une forteresse : maisons à balcons, bains sulfureux et audaces modernes.

La vieille ville se rassemble le long de la rivière Mtkvari, ses rues étroites bordées de balcons de bois sculptés, d'églises et de bars à vin. Abanotubani, le quartier des bains, est couronné de dômes de brique au-dessus de sources sulfureuses, et les murs de la forteresse de Narikala dominent le tout, accessibles par téléphérique ou par une montée raide. La statue de la Mère de la Géorgie se dresse sur la crête, une épée et une coupe de vin à la main.
