Svobody Square - Freedom Square, located in the heart of Tbilisi, has seen several name changes over its 200-year history. Constructed in the early 19th century in a neo-classical style with Moorish elements, it was initially named Pashkevich-Erivanskaya Square to honor Ivan Paskevich, a Ukrainian general of the Russian Imperial Army who captured Erivan (now Yerevan, Armenia) for the Russian Empire. In 1907, the square was the site of a daring and bloody bank robbery involving Joseph Stalin, which netted the equivalent of 4 million US dollars today. After the Russian Empire’s collapse, the square was renamed Freedom Square during the establishment of the First Georgian Republic in 1918, but it was later renamed “Beria Square” and then “Lenin Square” during Soviet times. Following Georgia’s independence, the square reverted to its 1918 name, Freedom Square. In 2006, the Freedom Monument, also known as the St. George Statue, was erected in the center of the square. Designed by Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, it is dedicated to the freedom and independence of the Georgian nation.

Sioni Cathedral Church - The Sioni Cathedral is situated in old Tbilisi. Initially built in the 6th and 7th centuries, it has been destroyed by foreign invaders and reconstructed multiple times.

The Sioni Cathedral was the main Georgian Orthodox Cathedral and the seat of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia until the Holy Trinity Cathedral was consecrated in 2004.

Shardeni Street - Shardeni Street attracts tourists with its fancy bars and clubs. In the past, this narrow street was an important trading center and was called a dark row because it was covered with roofs.

Metekhi Cathedral - Metekhi is a historic district of Tbilisi, located on a cliff overlooking the Mtkvari River. The neighborhood is home to the Metekhi Church of Assumption.

In the 15th century, it was destroyed again by Persians. Georgian kings rebuilt the church in the 16th and 17th centuries, with another restoration in the mid-19th century when all surrounding fortifications were dismantled and replaced with a prison building.
