Straddling east and west, Tbilisi punches well above its weight
About Tbilisi
Tbilisi is a city bursting with vibrant culture and landmark attractions such as the Narikala Fortress and Mtatsminda Park. In addition to its appeal to history buffs and art aficionados, the Georgian capital spoils for choice lovers of good food, natural wine, brutalist architecture, cable cars, medieval churches and techno music. The capital of Georgia – a small country straddling the borders of Europe and Asia – Tbilisi is a fascinating hodgepodge of cultures sitting right at the heart of the historic Silk Road trading route. It's a place where ancient history sits side-by-side with slick new developments, sometimes on the same street.</description> <parameter name="top_sights">["Narikala Fortress", "Mtatsminda Park & Funicular", "Old Town (Kala)", "Mother of Georgia Statue", "Rike Park & Aerial Tramway", "Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba)", "Sulfur Baths", "Chronicles of Georgia Monument"]
