9/10

We really liked Tbilisi for its architecture. Both historical and modern. I would like to separately note how much attention is paid to greenery in the city. The city is very green. The main streets have high-quality landscape design, many coniferous trees are planted, and tall plane trees provide shade from the scorching sun.

I would also like to separately note the Georgian cuisine. It is definitely one of the best in the world. You will need to visit restaurants at least 4-5 times to try the main dishes.

Kura

A river that runs through the entire city

A stormy and muddy river that beautifies Tbilisi. You can go on a river cruise along it. Closer to the old city, near the Peace Bridge, you will be persistently offered excursions along the river.

Bridge of Peace

Sights

Modern bridge to the city center

The bridge was built in 2010 and looks very impressive. Especially at night, when numerous lights are turned on. There are always many tourists walking on the bridge, although its width is quite narrow in some parts.

Marjanishvili Square

Sights

A place with graceful architecture

slider-photo

The square is paved with cobblestones and surrounded by elegant old buildings with their own unique architecture. Each house is crowned with a series of columns, which give the building an unusual and sophisticated look. The streets that intersect in the square have also been recently renovated and walking along them is a special pleasure. We recommend visiting both during the day and in the evening.
