1. Holy Trinity Cathedral
Located at the top of Ellia Hill, the Holy Trinity Cathedral, often referred to as Sameba, the cathedral can be seen from all directions. As the third tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral globally, its beauty draws in visitors with the breathtaking architecture. For an unforgettable experience, I suggest visiting during the summer months or in the evening, when the cathedral is lit up by beautiful lights. Admission is free, making it an essential destination for anyone exploring Tbilisi.
2. Bridge of Peace
The Bridge of Peace in Tbilisi is an architectural beauty that spans the Kura River, linking the old city with the modern district. It’s unique design resembles a glass bow and adds a touch of elegance to the Tbilisi skyline. Lit up at night, it transforms into a wonderful place to visit and take a leisurely stroll.
3. Chronicles of Georgia
Explore the Chronicles of Georgia, an ongoing project initiated in 1985 and still evolving after nearly four decades! This monumental structure also known as the “The Georgian Stonehenge,” can be seen at from afar. The chronicles can be reached via taxi or car and is open to visitors 24/7, free of charge. Whether visiting early morning or evening, you will be met with the best views.
4. National Botanical garden
Found right in the heart of the old town, the Tbilisi Botanical Gardens offers wonderful greenery. A must-visit destination, you’ll see beautiful flowers, a waterfall, and picturesque bridges perfect for photo opportunities. If you’re feeling adventurous you can even take a zip line journey from one end to the other. Follow the pathway up and you’ll find yourself by the iconic Mother of Georgia monument.
5. Lisi lake
Lisi Lake is a popular spot and offers a picturesque setting ideal for capturing stunning photos, especially during sunset. There’s plenty of food stalls providing a warmth on cooler days, while a scenic pathway encircles the entire lake, allowing visitors to fully appreciate its beauty.
