Highlights
  • Jvari Church - The meeting point of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers.
  • Svetitskhoveli Cathedral - Located in the heart of Old Mtskheta, Svetitskhoveli holds more historical significance than Jvari. Known as the ‘First Georgian Church,’ it was built on a site chosen by Saint Nino. The cathedral houses numerous precious relics, including what is believed to be Christ’s Mantle, a 4th-century baptismal font, and a piece of cedar wood from the original structure.
  • Tsminda Sameba Cathedral - Also called the Holy Trinity Cathedral, it is one of the largest and most impressive religious buildings in Tbilisi, Georgia. It symbolizes the country’s strong Christian faith and cultural identity. The cathedral features magnificent architecture that blends traditional Georgian design with modern elements. Inside, you’ll find beautiful frescoes and mosaics depicting scenes from the Bible and Georgian history.
  • Memorial History of Georgia - Built in 1985 to mark the 1500th anniversary of the Georgian alphabet, this monument consists of 16 large pillars, each dedicated to a different period in Georgian history. Arranged in a circle, visitors can walk around to view intricate carvings and sculptures depicting significant events and figures from Georgian history. It’s a popular spot for both locals and tourists to take photos and enjoy panoramic views.
  • Old Town (Altstadt) Tbilisi - This area features a variety of historic buildings, including traditional Georgian houses with wooden balconies, narrow cobblestone streets, and beautiful courtyards. One of the most famous landmarks is the Narikala Fortress, dating back to the 4th century, which offers stunning city views. Another highlight is the sulfur baths, a unique feature of Tbilisi.
