Sighnaghi in Georgia, the birthplace of red wine. The town is on top of a mountain, and you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The architecture here is beautiful, with history and culture, and the scenery is also very beautiful, worth a visit. About the route: It is possible to enter Georgia from Azerbaijan, and I took the route from Baku to Sighnaghi. 1 Get on the minibus at Sheki bus station at 10:10 in the morning, it's a very small bus, and if there are many people, you might not get a seat if you arrive late, as some people will get off along the way. Marshrutka to Balakan, marshrutka to the border. 2 After arriving at the border, get off the bus, there is a kiosk at the immigration where you can exchange currency, and it's calculated at the international exchange rate, which is very cost-effective. Or you can withdraw money with UnionPay after passing the border, exchange or withdraw a little to facilitate later transportation. 3 The queue for crossing the border is very simple, just get stamps on both sides. 4 After exiting the border, you can take a taxi, we pooled together 4 people and took a taxi for 40 lari to Sighnaghi, the journey is less than an hour.
