Things to do in Tbilisi

Tbilisi is the capital city of Georgia, it was founded in the 5th century. Because of its location on the crossroads between Europe and Asia, and its proximity to the lucrative Silk Road, throughout history Tbilisi was a point of contention among various global powers. Due to this fact, Tbilisi mirrors long years of history of different empires and this is what makes it so interesting and different from other cities you might have seen before. The city itself has sights to offer: the old town, the tramway, the theatre, cathedrals etc. But many would agree when we say that local people make the special vibe in the city. The countyside is worth to visit as well: don’t miss out a trip to the breathtaking mountain landscapes, and learn about the ancient history of Georgia and its legends. Main highlights would be the Zhinvali reservoir, the medieval fortress of Ananuri, and mineral springs. The monastery at the foot of the great Kazbeg is a sight that everyone will suggest you to see. Don’t leave Tbilisi without eating a khinkali, also locals say that it is a must.
