The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi (Tiflis).
If you decide to visit Georgia and are wondering what to do in this country, here are some ideas developed by us: our 6 deas of essential things to do and to see when you visit Tbilisi.
tbilisi
Tbilisi, the capital and largest city of Georgia, is known for its distinct architecture, which represents the city’s historical past and consists of an eclectic marriage of medieval, neoclassical, Art Nouveau, Stalinist and modernist monuments.
Tbilisi is well known for its unique blend of old and new. This site never ceases to amaze, from historic sulfur baths to modern architectural wonders. Tbilisi is now one of the safest cities in Europe, and is consistently ranked among the most popular up-and-coming destinations, thanks to Georgia’s thriving tourism sector.
Kartlis Deda
is a monument in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi. The statue was erected on the top of Sololaki hill in 1958, the year Tbilisi celebrated its 1500th anniversary.
Prominent Georgian sculptor Elguja Amashukeli designed the twenty-metre aluminium figure of a woman in Georgian national dress.
She symbolizes the Georgian national character: in her left hand she holds a bowl of wine to greet those who come as friends, and in her right hand is a sword for those who come as enemies.
Tbilisi Sioni Cathedral
Is a Georgian Orthodox cathedral in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
Following a medieval Georgian tradition of naming churches after particular places in the Holy Land, the Sioni Cathedral bears the name of Mount Zion at Jerusalem.
It is commonly known as the “Tbilisi Sioni” to distinguish it from several other churches across Georgia bearing the name Sioni.
narikala
Is an ancient fortress overlooking Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and the Mtkvari (Kura) River. The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulfur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi.
Narikala Fortress draws your attention from all sides of Tbilisi, you can notice it from almost every part of Tbilisi. It overlooks the Mtkvari River, which makes Narikala even more incredible.
Georgian National Museum
A hidden treasure at the beginning of Rustaveli Avenue, a walking distance from freedom/liberty square, a very convenient location. The Georgian National Museum is the product of the unification of several museums and research centers that hosts various exhibitions, both temporary and permanent, from archaeological to modern art collections and cultural exhibits
The museum was 4 floors which displayed Georgian history, chinese art, animals, wars, ornaments, evolution etc. It seemed only certain area was accesible for tourists. We can navigate the museum via lift or via stairs. Few rooms had some lighting issues
Gabriadze Theatre
The Rézo Gabriadze puppet theatre is one of the city’s emblems, not to be missed during your visit to Tbilisi. Its architecture is really amazing, it looks like the tower is almost collapsing.
She has an almost “Gaudian” side and would certainly not have done a task in Barcelona. If you can, try to find yourself there on a “stack” hour, you will be entitled as a bonus to a small puppet animation.
