When I first arrived in Tbilisi in 2015, I did not know much about the city or Georgia as a country for that matter. I spent much of my time wandering around aimlessly in the capital city for about 2 weeks and ended up having a blast in the most random way possible.
To make a long story short, I found myself in a local karaoke club, singing my heart out until morning with a bunch of random strangers. It was incredible. When I left the country, I vowed to myself that I would come back to Tbilisi again and properly explore the city.
Fast forward to today, I find myself in Tbilisi again almost a decade later and spend weeks exploring this dynamic city, discovering all the things I missed the last time, and some more, and I'm here to help guide you through one of the hippest cities in the Caucasus.
Within this guide, I will highlight all of my favorite things to do in this city as well as provide all the information you need to plan a perfect trip here. Without further ado, here are some of the best things to do in Tbilisi:

Tbilisi Things to Do Map
15 Best Things to Do in Tbilisi
1. Be Blown away by the scale of the Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi
The Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi is probably one of the most recognizable landmarks in Tbilisi, and it is one of the best places to begin our journey here. With its sheer size and massive scale, you can literally see the church from any viewpoint here.
With its exterior painted in light brown, a glistening gold nave roof, and a cross at the top, the cathedral stands as one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture. The cathedral is so massive that it is considered the third-tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral and one of the largest religious structures in the world.
The cathedral is located on top of a small hill, and although it is a bit of a walk from Tbilisi Old Town, I guarantee it is well worth it. The cathedral has a dress code, so if you want to go inside, be sure to wear long pants. For women, have a scarf to cover your hair. If not, they will provide you with one at the entrance of the church.
- Envoy Hostel and Tours (Budget)
- Badagoni Boutique Hotel Rustaveli (Mid-Range) 👍 Top Pick
- Qarvasla Hotel (High-End)
- Day Trip to Kakheti Wine Region Including Seven Wine Tastings (12 hours) 👍 Top Pick
- Highlights of Caucasus Mountains-Jinvali,Ananuri,Gudauri,Kazbegi (Group tour) (14 hours)
- Kutaisi Canyons and Caves from Tbilisi Full Day Tour (11 to 15 hours)
The cathedral gets visitors throughout the day, but due to its sheer scale, it doesn't feel as crowded as I thought. You can drop by here anytime you like. The cathedral is open from 7 AM to 9 PM every day, and the entrance is free.
Where to Stay in Tbilisi?
2. Explore the streets of Narikala Hill
Another awesome place to explore in Tbilisi is Narikala Hill, home to many of the beautiful traditional houses that Tbilisi is famous for. You can stroll around the snaking lanes that crisscross between traditional houses, up a hill towards the stunning Narikala Fortress.
The streets are lined with souvenir shops, local restaurants, and many cool attractions like Vakhtang Gorgasali Square, a perfect photo spot of Tbilisi Old Town, St. George Cathedral of Tbilisi, a 13th-century church with a distinct tower, and Tbilisi Juma Mosque, one of the few mosques that are still standing here.
Within the vicinity, you'll also find historic sulfur baths, Meidan Bazar, and other tourist attractions that we will discuss in detail later on. So, if you've just arrived in Tbilisi and aren't sure where to begin, start by heading to Vakhtang Gorgasali Square and explore from there.
3. Shop For Souvenirs at Meidan Bazar
If you are exploring Vakhtang Gorgasali Square, be sure to head down to Meidan Bazar, a stunning underground passage located right under Tbilisi Old Town, built right at the location where the ancient Meidan Bazar was.
This area used to be the melting pot of cultures and trade, attracting merchants from all over Europe since the founding days of the city. Sadly, the old bazaar no longer exists today, but its spirit remains in this reconstruction of Meidan Bazar.
Inside, you will find lines of shops selling all kinds of items from souvenirs to local produce and more. If you are looking to buy something for your loved ones at home, this is a great place to be. The bazaar is open from 10 AM to 10 PM every day.

- Highlights of Caucasus Mountains-Jinvali,Ananuri,Gudauri,Kazbegi (Group tour) (14 hours)
- Kutaisi Canyons and Caves from Tbilisi Full Day Tour (11 to 15 hours)
4. Visit the Historic Sulfur Baths in Tbilisi
Located along the hillside of Narikala Hill, you will find a collection of historic bathhouses that have long played an important role in the history of Tbilisi as a place for people to gather and socialize for centuries.
In fact, the city of Tbilisi got its name from the sulfur-rich water that was discovered here during its founding years around the 5th century. The name is derived from the Georgian word "tbili", meaning warm, which is a clear nod to these thermal waters.
You can visit one of these bathhouses and enjoy a relaxing evening with friends, or you can walk around the area and explore all the stunning bathhouses like Orbeliani Baths, as well as the beautiful canyons and rivers that feed them.
5. Hike Up to Narikala Castle
As you explore Narikala Hill, you will eventually reach Narikala Castle, a formidable fortress located at the top of the hill, overlooking the entire city. The castle was built in the 4th century AD during the reign of the Kingdom of Iberia and has since fallen under the control of various empires that sought to rule over Georgia throughout history.
Despite its tumultuous past, the castle remains intact to this day, with much of its walls and watchtowers still standing, a true testament to the resilience of the Georgian people.
Located at the top, you will find an Orthodox church where you can admire its stunning frescoes. You will also get a pretty awesome view of Tbilisi from here, so if you are looking for a nice spot for sunset, this is a great place to be.
As of 2024, much of the castle is under renovation, but you can still enter its courtyard and get access to the church as well as enjoy the view from its walls. The castle is open at all hours, but the church is only open from 7 AM to 6 PM every day.
6. Admire the View from the Mother of Georgia Monument
Located just a few minutes walk away from Narikala Castle, you will find the Mother of Georgia statue, a massive silver monument located on top of a hill overlooking the entire city.
The monument was built in 1957, the year Tbilisi celebrated its 1500th anniversary (Yup, you heard that right, 1500th anniversary!), in the shape of a Georgian character with one hand holding a bowl of wine welcoming those who come to visit Georgia as friends, and another hand holding a blade for those who come as enemies.
To get to the monument, you can either hike or take a cable car. The hike is moderately steep but not particularly difficult, and it should take you no more than 20 minutes to get from the trailhead to the top.
If you do not want to hike, you can go across the river and take the cable car up from this station in Rike Park, which should cost no more than 3 GEL per person. Just keep in mind that the line to go down can get pretty long, especially during sunset time.
What I recommend you do is take a cable car up one way and walk down when you are done. That way, you won't need to queue up and you can stay up there as long as you like. The sunset is pretty incredible up there so be sure to time your visit accordingly.
7. Learn More About Tbilisi at One of the Many Museums here
If you are interested in the history of Georgia and would like to learn more about it, I highly recommend you visit Georgian National Museum, a massive museum that holds a vast collection of archaeological findings, treasures, artifacts, and permanent exhibitions that highlight the struggle of the Georgian people throughout its history.
Georgia's strategic location between Asia and Europe is both a blessing and a curse as it has wrestled between empires looking to control the trade between the two continents for most of its existence. From the Roman Empire to the Persians, to the Ottomans, and the Russian Empire, the history of Georgia is anything but straightforward, but this museum should help guide you through it.
One of my favorite exhibitions is the Soviet Occupation exhibition located on the top floor which highlights the atrocities the Soviets committed during the Georgian struggle for independence. It will give you an even more understanding of the dynamic between the 2 countries today.
The museum is quite large, so be sure to spend around 1 hour here. The museum is open from 10 AM to 6 PM every day except on Mondays, and the entrance fee is 30 GEL per person.
Another museum I recommend you visit is the Tbilisi History Museum, a small museum located inside a traditional building in the Old Town that highlights the history of Tbilisi and its development throughout its existence.
You can view old black-and-white photos of Tbilisi throughout history and get a glimpse of what life was like in the city in days gone by. There are also models of Tbilisi's famous traditional houses that you can admire up close and displays of artifacts and archaeological findings found here.
The museum is small, but a great place to check out nonetheless. The place is open from 10 AM to 6 PM every day, and the entrance fee is 15 GEL per person. You can also take a guided tour for 45 GEL if you want to learn more about Tbilisi.
8. Check Out The Beautiful Frescoes at Zion Cathedral of the Dormition of Tbilisi
As you explore the lower part of Tbilisi's Old Town, you will likely come across the Zion Cathedral of the Dormition of Tbilisi, a massive Orthodox church that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. The original church was constructed by King Vakhtang Gorgasali, the founder of Tbilisi himself, back in the 5th Century AD.
The place is extremely sacred to the locals here, and they really take it seriously, so be sure to be respectful as you visit the cathedral. Please wear appropriate clothes, cover your hair if you are a woman, and no tank tops or shorts. Also, do not take photos inside and keep your voice down as you admire its stunning frescoes.
The cathedral is open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, and there is no entrance fee. If you are exploring the lower old town of Tbilisi, be sure to drop by and check out the Zion Cathedral of the Dormition of Tbilisi.
9. Hang out Around Liberty Square
Liberty Square is the beating heart of Tbilisi and the place where the Georgian people have often fought for their independence against various regimes trying to subdue their freedom. Most protests and revolutions in the city's history have taken place here, highlighting just how near and dear this square is to the Georgian people.
It is also a popular meeting point for locals, with many restaurants, shops, and shopping malls as well as street performers to keep you entertained. You can spend some time here relaxing and taking a break between your explorations of Tbilisi and enjoying one of the many restaurants and cafes in the area.
You can walk a little north to check out the Tbilisi Old Town Wall Ruins located below the road, admire the beautiful European-style architecture of Tbilisi City Hall, or go on a shopping spree at the Galleria Shopping Mall. There are plenty of places to hang out, so if you're unsure where to go, be sure to drop by Liberty Square.
10. Walk Across the Bridge of Peace
Another famous landmark in Tbilisi is the Bridge of Peace, a striking pedestrian bridge made of steel and glass creating a unique and stunning modern contemporary design, as if straight from the future.
The bridge was constructed in 2010 and has since become one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city. It connects both sides of the Kura River, allowing you to cross easily without dealing with all the traffic. At the other end of the bridge, you will also find a lovely green park with spacious walking paths and fountains you can enjoy.
The bridge is an awesome place to watch the sunset as it dips behind Narikala Castle and the surrounding hills. It is quite a sight to behold. After sundown, the bridge will also be illuminated by beautiful LED lights, so be sure to come out here at sunset and stay until nightfall.
11. Check Out the Clock Tower at Ioane Shavteli Street
Another famous landmark in Tbilisi is the Clock Tower on Ioane Shavteli Street. Although the clock tower may seem like it's ancient, it was actually built in 2011 by renowned puppeteer Rezo Gabriadze. The clock tower is part of another structure, a puppet theatre that he built himself over a time span of 30 years with old pieces from abandoned structures nearby.
If you look carefully, the tower looks uneven and is leaning towards one side with a steel beam preventing it from being toppled. It's hard to know if that is by design or not, but what is certain is his statement against the soul-less urban design of today's architecture.
Every hour, a window on the small balcony at the top of the clock tower opens, and a mannequin of an angel strikes the bell. If you're there on the hour, be sure to wait and witness the playful work of Rezo Gabriadze firsthand.
12. Take a Funicular to Mtatsminda Park
If you're looking for a great vantage point to see Tbilisi in its entirety, I highly recommend checking out Mtatsminda Park, a hilltop amusement park located at the highest point in Tbilisi, offering, without a doubt, the best viewpoint of all.
Getting to Mtatsminda Park is pretty straightforward. You can take a funicular from this station, and you'll be at the top in less than 10 minutes. Depending on the time of your visit, you might have to wait around 15-20 minutes before boarding one of the funiculars as they aren't particularly fast and run in rounds.
The queue for the funiculars can get especially long before sunset, so if you do not want to miss it, you might be better off taking a taxi (use Bolt Taxi) to get up there instead. Either way, it's one of the best viewpoints in the city and well worth the effort.
Once you're up there, you'll be greeted by a lovely, spacious park where you can stroll around, relax on one of the many benches under the shade, and enjoy all kinds of fun facilities available, like riding a Ferris wheel, going on a roller coaster, and more.
The funicular to Mtatsminda Park opens from 9:45 AM to 10 PM every day, and the ticket price is 10 GEL + 2 GEL for a card you can also use at the amusement park. The view from up here at night is particularly magical, so be sure to stick around after sunset.
13. Admire the Beauty of the Chronicles of Georgia
Located about 15 km from the city center, you will find the Chronicles of Georgia, a striking monument built atop a hill overlooking the Tbilisi Sea (an artificial lake built in 1953). The monument began construction in 1985 with the purpose of recording the history of Georgia in detail, although it was never fully finished.
The monument consists of 16 pillars, each standing between 30 and 35 meters tall. The top half features kings, queens, and heroes from Georgian history, while the bottom part depicts stories from the life of Christ.
The historical narrative depicted on the monument begins in the Paleolithic Era and continues through Georgia's winemaking history, the beginning of the Christian era, and up to the Soviet era when construction of the monument began. Unfortunately, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Russo-Georgian war, there was a lack of funds, and the monument was never fully completed.
That said, the monument is still quite a sight to behold despite its distance from the rest of Tbilisi. To get to the Chronicles of Georgia, you can hail a taxi via Bolt Taxi from the city center, and the ride should take around 30 minutes. The fare is typically around 15 GEL one way.
If you're looking for something to do outside of Tbilisi, this place is definitely worth a visit. The monument is open 24/7, and you can enter the place for free.
14. Explore the Vibrant Cafe Culture in Tbilisi
Tbilisi is one of the hippest cities in the Caucasus, and nothing is more in vogue right now than its vibrant café culture. With so many new and awesome cafés popping up every week, it can be hard to keep track of them all.
However, one of my favorite spots is Cafe Dante, a charming vintage café and bar with beautifully decorated seating areas filled with all sorts of timeless items, like an old vintage radio, a typewriter, and much more.
They have a small but lovely balcony area where you can enjoy a bit of sun, as well as many comfy spots that will make you feel at home. If you are looking for a place to chill with friends or with a good book by yourself, come check out Cafe Dante.
Another great spot for breakfast and coffee is BREAKFAST IS, a small but cozy basement cafe that serves delicious coffee and a selection of breakfast options you can choose from. Georgian people are NOT morning people, and it is hard to find a place that is open for breakfast such as this, so be sure to check them out while you are in Tbilisi.
15. Go On Day Trips Around Georgia
Tbilisi is the perfect base for exploring other parts of Georgia. Many day trips can take you to places like Kakheti, Georgia's romantic wine region; Kazbegi, a mountainous haven for hikers; and Kutaisi, the cultural hub of the country.
These trips allow you to visit many tourist attractions along the way without worrying about logistics. They are perfect for those who have limited time in Georgia but want to see more of Georgia outside of the capital city.
If you want a relaxing trip, I highly recommend you go on a day trip to Kakheti, the wine region of Georgia, where you will be visiting vineyards, sampling some of the finest Georgian wines, and learning more about the history of winemaking in Georgia.
For those who are looking for a more active activity, Kazbegi is an excellent option as you will be transported to the mountainous region of Georgia, visit all the incredible tourist attractions along the way like Ananuri Church, Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument, and spend some time at Gergeti Trinity Church, the famous mountaintop church in Kazbegi.
If you want to explore out west, you might want to go on a day trip to Kutaisi and explore all the wonderful natural wonders of the region like Prometheus Cave, Martvili Canyon, and more, all in one day.
And so, if you have a few days to spare in Tbilisi, don't forget to browse through some of the available day trips here and see just how beautiful and diverse Georgia really is.
What to Eat and Drink in Tbilisi
1. Enjoy Authentic Georgian Cuisine at Racha
For my favorite local restaurant in Tbilisi, I highly recommend Racha, a local Georgian restaurant run by a local family. It is located down in the basement of a building not too far from Liberty Square, and they serve many delicious Georgian dishes at a very reasonable price.
My favorite dishes from them are Apkhazura or Georgian fried spicy meatballs, and Ojakhuri, a classic pork and potato dish. Fun fact, when I first visited Tbilisi in 2015, I came to this restaurant per a local's recommendation, and they didn't have an English menu nor was there anyone speaking English.
I ended up picking a random item on the menu, and it was delicious! The problem was I didn't know what it was until I came back here 10 years later, and the restaurant is still here, and the menu is finally in English. As it turned out, I ordered a dish of Apkhazura by accident! A happy accident, for sure! 😂
If you are looking for an authentic Georgian restaurant, I cannot recommend Racha enough. The restaurant is open from 11 AM to 11 PM every day, and they only accept cash.
2. Have Breakfast at BREAKFAST IS
Georgian people are not morning people at all, and as a morning person myself, it was pretty hard to cope at first since there are rarely any places that open early for breakfast. That was until I found BREAKFAST IS, a cozy little café that serves a variety of breakfast options and delicious coffee.
The place fills up quickly, and with limited seating, I highly recommend going before or after lunchtime. Be sure to try their Shakshuka or Eggs Benedict/Eggs Royal while you're there. The café is open every day from 8 AM to 5 PM.
I got tipped off about this place by my friend Emily and her awesome travel blog Wander-Lush that focuses on all things Georgia. There is a wealth of knowledge in her blog about restaurants and cafes in Tbilisi, and if you like this kind of place, be sure to check out her blog.
3. Hangout at Bazari Orbeliani's Food Hall
Last but not least, if you are looking for a place to hang out for a day with a book or a laptop and you want options when it comes to food selection, you are going to love Bazari Orbeliani, a food court with a ton of restaurants and cafes you can enjoy.
The place is spacious, with plenty of seating areas located in the middle of the hall, with lines of restaurants and cafes on both sides. Best of all, it has free WIFI that anyone can use. I love coming here with my laptop and spending a few hours writing.
In fact, I am currently here writing this travel guide! 😂 While you can choose from one of the many restaurants and cafes that run along the side. The food court is open from 11 AM to 12 AM every day. If you are looking for a place to take a break from all the traveling and kill some time, Bazari Orbeliani is the place to be.
How to Get to Tbilisi?
There are not many flights flying to Tbilisi directly, so you will have to rely on transit flights like Turkish Airlines via Ankara, Qatar Airlines via Doha, or Air Astana via Almaty. You can browse through Skyscanner or Expedia to find the cheapest flight from your home country to here.
How to Get From Tbilisi Airport to City Center?
By Bus: The cheapest way to get from Tbilisi Airport to the City Center is to take the bus #337 from the airport straight to Liberty Square. The bus often waits for passengers at this bus stop on your right from the airport's exit.
The bus runs between 6:59 AM to 10:59 PM every 15 minutes every day, and it takes about 1 hour to arrive at Pushkin Square Bus Stop. You can easily pay for the ticket by tapping your credit card on the machines inside the bus, and it will only cost you 1 GEL.
By Bolt Taxi: If you are arriving out of the bus operational time, you will be better off hailing a taxi via Bolt Taxi app than getting a random taxi from the airport.
Trust me, there are often scammers in disguise. I have a friend who got scammed by these taxi drivers because they told them that it is going to cost them only 20 GEL, but what they didn't know is that that is the per kilometer price. They ended up having to pay almost 200 GEL for the trip! Avoid random airport taxis at all costs!
Make sure you download the Bolt app prior to your arrival and get an eSIM so that you can access the internet when you arrive. Once here, just punch in your hotel and the app will find a taxi for you. It should cost around 40 GEL and takes around 30 minutes.
How to Get Around Tbilisi?
By Walking: If you are staying around Liberty Square, you should be able to easily reach all the tourist attractions I listed here except the Chronicles of Georgia on foot.
By Metro: If you are staying a little further out, you should be able to take the metro to Liberty Square Metro Station and move around from there. Georgian Metros are very easy to use. All you have to do is tap your credit card at the entrance gate, and it will automatically charge you 1.5 GEL per ride no matter the distance.
You can also get a travel card to save even more, but for this itinerary, you don't need it as you won't need to use the metro as much. For more information on travel cards, check out this guide: A Guide to Public Transportation in Tbilisi.
By Bolt Taxi: If you want to go further away from the city center, say to the Chronicles of Georgia, you can easily hail a taxi via Bolt Taxi. The price will be calculated automatically according to your destination and the distance, and it will charge your credit card afterward. It is extremely convenient as you won't need to carry cash and negotiate the price with the taxi drivers.
By Bus: Public buses work the same way as the metros. You can get on one, tap your credit card or travel card on the machine, and you are good to go. It costs 1.5 GEL, the same as with the metros. You can use Google Maps to find which bus number to take to get to your designated destination.
By Car: You can also rent a car straight from the airport and drive to Tbilisi. The roads are in great condition throughout the city except maybe up Narikala Hill, so if your accommodation is somewhere up there, make sure you ask them where to park your car. You can rent the car from here.
What to Pack for Tbilisi?
As you may already know, I am an advocate of light traveling, and indeed, packing light for a journey like this is a unique art form. Here are some packing tips for your upcoming trip to Tbilisi, Georgia:
- Walking/Hiking Shoes: With all the walking and possible hiking during your travel, a comfortable pair of shoes is a must. I recommend the Timberland 3-Eye Classic Boat Shoes that are my go-to pair for long strolls and hikes.
- Breathable Shirts: Given the potential for hot weather, pack a few breathable shirts for your outdoor adventures.
- Shorts/Jeans: Anticipate lots of walking during your travels? Be sure to pack some breathable shorts and a pair of Levi's jeans for when the weather cools. For women, leggings are excellent for both hot and cold climates, so consider packing some as well.
- Fleece Jacket: For colder weather, layering is the key, and a fleece jacket makes an excellent insulating layer. I recommend the Columbia Steens Mountain Fleece (for women).
- Outer Shell Jacket: An outer shell jacket is great for windy or rainy conditions. I highly recommend the Columbia Watertight Jacket (for women). It's lightweight, breathable, and even comes in a cool orange color.
- Microfiber Towel: A Microfiber towel is the ideal backpacker's towel due to its lightness, quick drying, and compressibility.
- Camera: You should also pack a good camera for your trip so that you can capture all the beautiful experiences you might have. I recommend the Sony a7R V camera together with the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens, which is probably the highest-performance camera and lens combination you can get right now.
- Power Bank: Keep your electronics charged on the go with a 20,000+ mAh Power Bank.
- Water Bottle: The Hydro Flask Trail Water Bottle is a great insulated water bottle to have with you in cities or on hiking trails. It is lightweight and can keep your water cold or warm for more than 12 hours. It's a total game-changer.
- Universal Adapter: You'll need just one universal adapter to plug in your electronics in any country you visit.
- Packing Cubes: Packing Cubes will help you save space in your backpack and keep all your belongings organized.
- Daypack: The Langly Alpha Globetrotter is my go-to everyday camera backpack. It's large enough to carry all my travel gear, and it comes with plenty of slots and pouches. Plus, it's stylish as hell!
- Large Backpack: You will need a large backpack to carry all of your stuff. I recommend the Osprey Atmos AG 65L backpack. With excellent weight distribution and a lifetime guarantee, you can't go wrong with Osprey.
