Top Descriptions
| As the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi is the one place in the country that you’ll no doubt hear more about than most, and it’s easy to understand why. The Old Town with its many churches is pleasant and picturesque, there are a plethora of sights on offer (many of them free), and many other locations in the country can be reached on fairly straightforward day trips. What’s more, Tbilisi offers up the country’s best selections of cuisine (and wine) and accommodation, and is therefore one of the most comfortable places to base yourself. But while decent enough facilities do exist and transportation is generally reliable, you shouldn’t expect for the highest quality here. Walk outside of Old Town or Davit Agmashenebeli Avenue (especially in the low season) and the beautiful landscaping soon gives way to soviet and scrappy architecture. Nevertheless, Tbilisi shouldn’t be missed and is well worth a few days of your time at least. |

Top Tips
| If you’re looking for free things to do in Tbilisi then there’s lots on offer. Mtatsminda Park to Narikala Fortress Walking Path, The Chronicle of Georgia Monument and Rike Park make for a good start. |
| Though old, the metro system in Tbilisi is quick, reliable and cheap. The most important stations for tourists are Marjanishvili, Liberty Square and Didube. You’ll need to buy a Metromoney Card though and top it up before you can ride on them. |
| Mtskheta is an easy day trip from Tbilisi, as is the city of Gori. Both are worth visiting. |
| For domestic buses, head to Didube Bus (Marshrutka) Station. If you’re looking to head abroad, then Ortachala Central Bus (Marshrutka) Station is where you’ll need to go instead. |
