Welcome to Tbilisi, capital of Georgia (country in Europe – not the state in US) , with winding streets and tight alleys , beautiful people as well as good food and a lot more to discover.
Tbilisi is a walkable city and by walking means you need to walk this steep narrow street.
And be greeted by friendly smiling local with their vintage door.
Who would’ve thought that a beautiful Victorian house stands unscathed in the aftermath of the Soviet era.
Art Nouveau houses in desperate need of restoration but definitely worth taking pictures of.
A typical Georgian building comprises of a courtyard which may have a common exit/entrance being shared by all its occupants.
The city is teeming with back alley cafes. Great for intimate meetings without too much distraction from pedestrians.
Sameba Church – considered as one of the largest Orthodox Church , it took 7 years to construct and now a symbol of the “New Georgia”.
Meanwhile, the “Old Georgia” built its foundation sorrounding their hero King Vakhtang Gorgasali
And the way King Vakhtang discovered Tbilisi was when the King’s falcon caught a pheasant both birds fell into a nearby hot spring and died. King was so impressed with the discovery that he decided to build a city on this location.
Then came the birth of Sulfur Bath houses. And lots of it.
Waterfalls in the middle of the city . Truly amazing.
The old town has a squiggly-wiggly clock tower built by renowned puppeteer Rezo Gabriadze. Twice a day, at noon and at 7pm you can see a show – “Circle of Life”.
If a marionette show doesn’t interests you enough then ride a Funicular up to Mtatsminda Amusement Park . You get an amazing view of the whole of Tbilisi city. Ticket is priced at 2GEL.
It’s no fun if you don’t try Adjaruli Kachapuri , the most popular Georgian dish and the other dishes as well.
Rike Park – Aerial tramway terminus (to/from Narikala Fortress) and some weird looking structure beside it.
Georgians, after gaining their much coveted independence is never ever letting go. They love their country and they’re very proud of what they’ve accomplished .
