1. Arguably the most well known cathedral in Georgia, Svetitskhoveli is also one of the biggest in the country. Harsh conditions throughout Georgia’s history couldn’t stop the 10-century old building from retaining its beauty. The temple is on another UNESCO World Heritage listing because of its glorious architecture.

2. Translated as “The Monastery of the Cross”, Jvari is a 6th Century Monastery that is, coincidentally, in the shape of a cross. It is located on a mountaintop with a great view of the meeting between the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers as well as the entire city of Mtkskheta. Jvari Monastery is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, along with other historic structures in Mtshketa. Jvari is the perfect place for those looking to travel back in time and enjoy the architecture of the Middle Ages. Note that the place is windy throughout the entire year, so be prepared.

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, Georgiens huvudstad, ligger längs en flodravin under en fästning och blandar gamla hus med balkonger, svavelbad och djärva moderna landmärken.

Gamla staden samlas längs floden Mtkvari, med smala gator kantade av snidade trébalkonger, kyrkor och vinbarer. Badkvarteret Abanotubani kröns av tegelkupoler över svavelkällor, och murarna i Narikalafästningen blickar ut över allt, nåbara med linbana eller en brant promenad. Statyn Georgiens moder står på åsen med ett svärd och en skål vin.

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