There’s so much to see and do in Tbilisi that it can be difficult to know where to start. To help you get started we’ve put together this list of the top things to do in Tbilisi.

One of our favorite things to do in Tbilisi is walking around the city. You can explore a variety of different places and learn a lot about the history of this fascinating country.

Narikala Fortress

One of Tbilisi’s most recognizable landmarks, Narikala Fortress is an ancient symbol of the city’s defensive brilliance. Located high on a hill, it offers sweeping views of the capital and the Mtkvari River.

Originally built as a Persian citadel in the 4th century, it was extended by Arabs and Georgians over the years. In 1827 a munitions explosion destroyed the inner part of the castle, leaving only the exterior walls standing today.

There are a few ways to visit the fortress, but the most popular is by cable car from Rike Park. This modern ride offers a relaxing and scenic trip up the hill to Narikala, overlooking Tbilisi and the Mtkvari River.

There’s also a little chucrch/monastery on the hill inside Narikala, which was reconstructed in 1996. Its interior is decorated with frescoes showing scenes from the Bible and the history of Georgia.

Tbilisi

Botanical Gardens

Taking the time to explore the National Botanical Garden of Georgia is a great way to spend a relaxing day in Tbilisi. It’s a beautiful, tree-filled and waterfall-dotted park that’s full of surprises.

The gardens cover more than a kilometre up the valley behind Narikala Fortress and were opened in 1845 on what had been royal gardens. They catalogue species of endemic and exotic trees.

It is a perfect place for a walk, picnic and cycling, with lots of pavilions, shady alleys, waterfalls and ancient bridges scattered around the area to accommodate visitors. It also offers an Ariel view of the city from its elevated pathways.

Tbilisi

Anchasia Church

The oldest church in Tbilisi, Anchasia Church (Georgian: anchisxati) is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is located on Ellia Hill, within the historic district of Avlabari.

It is the third biggest Orthodox cathedral in the world, with a complex consisting of the main church, two gates, a bell-tower, a residence for the Patriarch and several workshops. Besides, it has the Lagidze Water Cafe, a small zoo and other recreational areas.

A visit to Tbilisi is not complete without seeing its historical buildings. The city, being a permanent capital of Georgia since its foundation, has a rich history dating back to the 5th century, with various building layers reflecting different stages in its development.

Tbilisi

Gallery 27

Tbilisi is a city full of picture-perfect moments. Its natural beauty, charming folk structures and unforgettable historical events all make for stunning photographs.

Gallery 27 is Tbilisi’s premier gift boutique run by local creative and patron of the arts Nino Kvavilashvili. Her small space features works from over 100 Georgian artists.

You can find batik silk scarves, lurji supra blue tablecloths and wall hangings, knitted items, paintings, ceramics and leather goods. The shop also sells a range of Georgian wine and food related products.

Located in an old wooden building, this museum is the place to go if you want to see a real life building with authentic local features. It is a great place to see how local people live and it is very popular amongst tourists.

Sulphur Baths Tbilisi

The Sulphur Baths in Tbilisi are a must-see for anyone visiting the city. They’re a popular spot for locals to soak in the curing sulfur water, as well as for tourists looking for a more authentic experience.

Tbilisi’s unique Sulphur Baths sit under the imposing Narikala Fortress on the east bank of the Mtkvari River. According to legend, King Vakhtang Gorgasali of Georgia stumbled across these springs while hunting and immediately built a new capital around them.

The Sulphur Baths have long been a staple of Tbilisi’s culture and history, with many visitors visiting to soak and scrub under the domed roofs. It’s a great way to unwind and relax.
