Mtskheta & Tbilisi City Tour
We will leave from the hotel and begin our journey to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia.
Jvari Monastery
In the beginning, we will visit Jvari Monastery, a sixth-century Georgian Orthodox monastery located near Mtskheta. Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is considered one of the masterpieces of Georgian architecture.
Mtskheta & Svetitskhoveli Cathedral
From Jvari, we will go down to Mtskheta, where we will take a walk to see Georgian handmade crafts, exhibitions, and taste the Georgian traditional sweet, Churchkhela.
We will visit Svetitskhoveli, the highlight of Mtskheta. This grand Eastern Orthodox cathedral dates back to the 11th century. Svetitskhoveli is considered the most important architectural and cultural monument in Georgia and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba)
From Mtskheta, we will move to Tbilisi to visit The Holy Trinity Cathedral, commonly known as Sameba. It is the main cathedral of the Georgian Orthodox Church and one of the highlights of any Tbilisi tour. As the tallest church in Tbilisi, its golden dome is visible from most parts of the city. The church is part of a magnificent complex consisting of a monastery, a theology school, and nine chapels (including five that are underground).
Cable Car & Narikala Fortress
The next destination will be the cable car area, which connects Rike Park (on the left bank of the Mtkvari River) with Narikala Fortress. While ascending, you can relax and enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of Tbilisi from the large windows of the climate-controlled car.
On the top, we will visit the Mother of Georgia statue (Kartlis Deda) and Narikala, a 4th-century fortress perched on a steep hill located between the sulphur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi.
Mtatsminda Park
Then we will go to Mtatsminda Park, a family amusement center located atop Mount Mtatsminda, overlooking Tbilisi.
Evening: Old Town & Shardeni Street
In the evening, our last destination will be the Old Town and Shardeni Street, which is well known for its restaurants, bars, and clubs. Together with the parallel streets of Bambis Rigi, Rkinis Rigi, and Erekle II (a little further north)—famous for their fashionable galleries and cafes—these narrow pedestrian streets have become a popular hub of cultural and social life in Tbilisi.
