5 days in Tbilisi Itinerary

On the bank of the Mtkvari River and at the foot of Trialeti mountain range, Tbilisi's location has given the city strategic significance since it was founded in the 5th century.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Mtatsminda Pantheon and Gremi Citadel and Church of the Archangels. Take a break from the city and head to Balloon Rides and Rustaveli Avenue. Explore Tbilisi's surroundings by going to Mtskheta (Samtavro Church, The City-Museum Reserve of Mtskheta, &more), Telavi (Shuamta Monasteries & Alaverdi St. George Cathedral) and Tsinandali (Tsinandali Palace & House-museum of Chavchavadze). There's much more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Kashveti Church, step into the grandiose world of Narikala Fortress, explore the world behind art at National Gallery, and appreciate the history behind Monument to the Lamplighter.
