    What To Expect

    Chreli Abano Spa

    Step into Tbilisi's legendary sulfur baths, where the city was born! These domed 17th-century structures bubble with 40°C mineral waters rich in healing sulfur. Notice the ornate Persian-style brickwork on Orbeliani Bath – nicknamed the 'Peacock Bath' for its mosaic facade. Locals swear by the skin-rejuvenating properties. Pro tip: Book a private room at Chreli Abano for the full experience (ask for a kisi scrub!)

    Leghvtakhevi And Dabakhana

    Hidden behind the baths, this charming waterfall cascades through a canyon draped with colorful umbrellas. According to legend, King Vakhtang's falcon discovered these hot springs here, leading to Tbilisi's founding. The perfect Instagram spot! Listen for the echo off the cliffs, and watch for newlyweds taking photos here on weekends.

    Meidan Bazaar

    Descend into this underground arcade beneath Meidan Square, where Soviet-era tunnels now burst with Georgian crafts. Vendors sell everything from antique kantsi (drinking horns) to handmade chokha (traditional coats). Don't miss the spice stalls – sniff the golden saffron and vibrant ucho suneli blends. The tunnel's acoustics make vendor calls echo theatrically!

    Monument of King Vakhtang Gorgasali

    This dramatic bronze statue depicts the 5th-century king astride his horse, sword raised triumphantly. Gorgasali founded Tbilisi after his falcon led him to the hot springs. Notice the Georgian asomtavruli script on the base – it's the world's third-oldest alphabet still in use. Local students rub the horse's hoof for exam luck!

    Anchiskhati Basilica

    Tbilisi's oldest surviving church (6th century) is a quiet oasis amid the bustle. The dim interior glows with candlelight reflecting off medieval frescoes. Listen for the rare three-part Georgian polyphonic chanting during services. The bell tower was added later – its asymmetrical arches are earthquake-resistant! Fun fact: The church survived 14 centuries of invasions by being 'too small to bother destroying.

    Clock Tower

    This tilting, fairy-tale tower is Tbilisi's quirkiest landmark. Every hour, a tiny golden angel emerges to ring the bell with a hammer, while a mechanical theater show depicts scenes from Georgian folklore. The adjacent puppet theater (founded by filmmaker Gabriadze) hosts enchanting evening performances. Look closely – the tower's 'aged' bricks are actually ceramic sculptures telling stories!

    Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater

    The Tamada Statue stands at the intersection of Shardeni St. and Sioni St., directly outside the "TAMADA" wine bar Toast to this 3-meter bronze statue celebrating Georgia's 8,000-year wine culture! The tamada (toastmaster) holds a traditional kantsi horn cup. Notice the smaller figures at his feet – they represent the 12 essential Georgian toasts (from ancestors to future generations). Locals often leave wine bottles here during celebrations. At night, the cup lights up like a beacon!

The 19th-century buildings retain their wrought-iron balconies – perfect for people-watching. Stop at G.Vino for a tasting of rare amber wines, or Café Gabriadze for puppet-themed desserts. Evening brings jazz spilling from basement clubs. Don't miss the 'Love Lock' alley near the end!

    Narikala Fortress

    Climb to this 4th-century Persian fortress for breathtaking 360° views. The winding paths reveal hidden cannon slots and the ruins of St. Nicholas Church. At the summit, the 20m-tall Mother Georgia statue symbolizes national character – her sword warns enemies, while her wine cup welcomes friends.

    Rike Park

    End your tour in this futuristic park, where musical fountains dance to Georgian folk songs. The ultra-modern Bridge of Peace (shaped like a marine creature) glows with 1,200 LED lights at night. Locals joke it's 'the world's most expensive clothes hanger' due to its curved design. Relax on the grass with churchkhela (grape candy) from nearby vendors as the cable cars glide overhead.
