About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgias hovedstad, ligger langs en elvekløft under en festning og blander gamle hus med balkonger, svovelbad og dristige moderne landemerker.

Den gamle byen samler seg langs Mtkvari-elven, med smale gater kantet av utskårne trebalkonger, kirker og vinbarer. Badekvarteret Abanotubani er kronet av teglsteinskupler over svovelkilder, og murene i Narikala-festningen ser ut over det hele, nådd med taubane eller en bratt tur. Statuen Georgias Mor står på ryggen med et sverd og en skål vin.
