The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi

A city built in the 4th century, it has gone through many hardships, but it still remains the capital of the country. After all, it is in the Caucasus region, and some of the architectural styles here still retain the Byzantine style. Of course, with the development of the city, inevitably some modern style buildings will be constructed. I suddenly recall a text from my school days called 'The Tbilisi Underground Printing House', which is probably my earliest impression of Tbilisi. Speaking of Georgia, one cannot fail to mention the wine. When the grape harvest season arrives, every household can hardly wait to make wine, so they press the grapes directly into juice and take it home to drink.

A person went to Georgia for a trip, and the momentum was too great

Recalling the days and nights of traveling in Georgia Looking at the photos, I really want to go back to those leisurely days The first time I was surrounded by a group of large Caucasian dogs, I was very scared, but the dogs completely ignored my existence The first time I walked into a bar in Tbilisi, I was a bit restrained but was quickly infected by the super nice atmosphere and made some good friends The first time I went hiking in the mountains alone, I wanted to accompany the Koreans who hitchhiked. As a result, the physical disparity, I walked halfway alone and shouted help at the passing Caucasian young man on horseback The first time I visited a traditional winery, I drank one cup after another until I was dizzy, and everyone sang and danced together Georgia Just as I imagined before I came Snowy mountains, red wine, churches And it's not what I imagined Streets full of ups and downs, coffee shops that haven't opened at 10 in the morning, the cold air in the mountains, and the warm and comfortable people I met Looking forward to seeing you next time Georgia

Tbilisi citywalk｜A landmark church not to be missed

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia, and it is generally chosen here to fly from the country to Georgia. Now Georgia is finally visa-free, and you can go with your passport. When you come to Tbilisi citywalk, you can't miss the landmark building, the Holy Trinity Church. The Holy Trinity Church covers a large area, including the square, the main building, and the bell tower, etc. The church is open for free visits, you can enter from 10:00 to 22:00. This is an Orthodox church, but when entering the main church, women need to wrap their heads and not expose their skin, and men are required to have trousers over their knees. The biggest feeling after playing a round in Georgia is that there are no tickets for the attractions here, except for the "snow tickets" for the Gudauri skiing cable car, and there are no such fees, no wonder Georgia is really a high cost-effective tourist destination. 🌟In addition, recommended cities in Georgia that must be visited for the first time: 1、Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, known as "God's Back Garden"! Recommended attractions include the Peace Bridge, the Holy Trinity Church, the Dry Bridge Market, the Mother Fortress, the Metekhi Church, etc. (It is recommended to reserve 3-4 days for play) 2、Kazbek, a small village under the Caucasus Mountains and Mount Kazbek, here is the "closest to heaven" Holy Trinity Church, independent of the world, the village is quiet and beautiful, there are friendly Caucasian dogs everywhere. (It is recommended to reserve 2-3 days for play) 3、Gudauri, this is a world-class skiing resort, with naturally thrilling ski trails and waist-deep powder snow, the quality of the snow is so good that falling is like falling in soft cotton. (It is recommended to reserve 2-3 days for play) 4、Sighnaghi, this is the birthplace of the world's red wine, super beautiful red wine has a transaction for less than a hundred yuan, the town is quiet and pleasant, very suitable for a slightly drunk vacation. (It is recommended to reserve 2-3 days for play)

Tbilisi, a city perfect to walk around

The capital city of Georgia, Tbilisi is a bohemian paradise. The vibrant city is known for its surrounding mountains, its traditional Old Town, narrow streets with boutique shops, and ancient Eurasian crossroads. With landmarks like the 17th century Narikala Fortress, and many 4th-7th century cathedrals, and the modern avant-garde Bridge of Peace just a hop-skip away, the city is a perfect mix of old and new. The sulfur bath is one of the must do thing in tblisi, it’s very very refreshing. .#georgia

Tbilisi chill time

I had quite good time in Tbilisi. As we all know it’s origin of wine. I had wine for every meals I had. There were some private wine shops offering wine taste which is pretty awesome. The flea dry bridge market was my highlight as you may find lots of Soviet era pins passports and banknotes etc. as well as some old cameras. You will need to take cabin train to the top of hill to visit Tbilisi tv tower. The view from the top was beautiful but honestly nothing much but commercials up the hill.

Short hiking in Tbilisi

First of all, I recommend you to start hiking from getting to Mother of Georgia. Find steps near Betlemi Chirch and go up ⬆️ After the monument go to the side of Kura river and enjoy the view! Soon you will be next to the next place - Chirch of the St Nicholas. Newly built in 1996–1997, it replaces the original 13th-century church that was destroyed in a fire. Also you will see Narikala fortress. The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulphur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi. #tbilisi #georgia #campingglamping #nationalpark

Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi

Welcome to the main church not only of Tbilisi, but of the whole of Georgia! 
This church is better known in Georgian as Sameba and was built in 2004 and it is the third-tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in the world and one of the largest religious buildings in the world by total area. The building looks simply colossal and can be seen from almost any hill in Tbilisi. Visiting tips: Church attendance is free, but you must dress appropriately. Also next to the church there is a small restaurant of the Lagidze chain with very tasty beverages. I advise you to try it! #travel #georgia #tbilisi #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

Tbilisi Funicular Railway

If you like unusual transport and one day find yourself in the capital of Georgia, then be sure to take a ride on the local funicular that goes from the city center to the top of Mtatsminda Mountain. Tips for visiting: to ride the Tbilisi Funicular Railway, you need a 2 GEL plastic card (sold at the ticket office) on which you then add credit for your rides (and any rides in the Mtatsminda amusement park). The funicular train price is 8 GEL (3 USD) from 09:00 till midnight. I advise you to go up using the funicular, and go down on foot, there is a convenient staircase going down, from which there are excellent views! #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #georgia #tbilisi #europe

Beautiful panorama of Tbilisi

It was an incredible evening! I took the cable car to the top of Mount Mtatsminda and saw the panorama of the capital of Georgia. Despite the fact that I was already here this morning - now the city looked completely different. The Freedom Bridge, the Presidential Palace and the beautiful backlit Georgian churches looked especially good! Tips for visiting: the cable car operates from 8 am to 10 pm. One way fare - 3 Georgian Lari (about 1.2 USD) #myperfectstaycation #urbanexplorer #cablecar #georgia #europe #tbilisi

True Georgian authentic culture

There is an amazing beautiful park around the biggest church in city Tbilisi, Georgia. The magnificent stairs leading to church make it feel like pilgrimage. There is a beautiful pond with birds which is quite unusual. The church itself is smaller than I thought, but the ceilings are extremely high which gives it a feeling of reaching the sky. Gorgeous place!

Old Tbilisi

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia. I found this city charming. Regardless of cold and dust, Tbilisi is yet wonderful to visit. We first started the day at They Said Book cafe which had great cafe vibe. Then we went to famous clock tower where every tourist has to visit. But for me, it was just a clock. After that we walked around city center, sulfur baht, and underground market. At night, we stopped at Maspinzelo restaurant. The food was very good. But we had to wait half and hour to be seated. And the staffs were neither friendly or helpful. What I love most about Tbilisi was street cats and dogs because they are super adorable and friendly.

Castle with best view of Tbilisi

After such a long flight, we finally arrived in Tbilisi. We went straight to Narikala castle fearing the sun would go down. It was on the top of the hill therefore the driver must have excellent driving skill to reach the top. The view was absolutely beautiful but there was so much dust (PM2.5) so the view was not so clear, but acceptable. I think this place offered the best view of Tbilisi. Entrance fee: None Parking: available Not too crowded

Sabaduri forest = nice place for pictures

Getting There - from Tbilisi by car, it may takes 40-50 minutes Attractions - forest 🌳 free and it's amazing in every season. Food & Restaurants - there is nothing #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #tripblazers #mytripvlog #mytripvlog #本地遊 #forest #forestpark #travel Photography #photography #pictures

Carved stone pillars in Georgia

Today we traveled to see the beauty of the famous carved stone pillars of Georgia. This place is called “Chronicle of Georgia”. Located at: QRC6+65V, Chronicles of Georgia Temqa, Tbilisi, Georgia. Which is located in Tbilisi itself. It is not difficult to get to. This is a black stone pillar carved to tell the story of the history of the country. It was established in 1985 on a high hill. It stands out because this pillar is very large and magnificent. And if you walk a little further, you will see a very wide view of the city. It is very cool and breezy. But we went in winter, so we think it is not suitable. 555 I recommend that if anyone comes in winter, prepare complete winter gear. It is cold until your ears hurt. If anyone comes to this city, stop by to see the beauty of this place. It is convenient to come and there is a parking lot.. #Georgia #TravelAbroad

Tbilisi treats

A true gem, Tbilisi is! Catch the cable car for fantastic panoramic views over the city. Walk the funky little streets to discover an abundance of hidden street art and excellent eateries. Try khachapuri every chance you get with a pot of lobio and a glass of fine Georgian wine.

A glimpse of Tbilisi, Georgia 🇬🇪

Looking for a place with unbelievably delicious food, rich history, beautiful nature and gorgeous architecture? Then Tbilisi - the capital city of Georgia - might be a good match for you. I was fortunate enough to spend 4 unforgettable days here, which was certainly not enough to see it all and venture out to further explore this small but mighty country. I fell in love with the culture, the food, the people, the history and the variety of the city; so I've promised myself to go back for longer next year and explore what Georgia has to offer in more detail. Tbilisi, formerly Tiflis, capital of the republic of Georgia on the Mtkvari (Kura) River at its dissection of the Trialeti (Trialetsky) and Kartli (Kartliysky, or Kartalinian) ranges. Historically, the city had a strategic position, controlling the route between western and eastern Transcaucasia. It was often captured and sacked and knew many masters: the Persians in the 6th century, the Byzantines and the Arabs in the 7th. Modern Tbilisi is a major cultural and educational centre, consisting of a new and old part. I am a big foodie so want to recommend some things to you for your next visit to Georgia, whether in Tbilisi or not! Try the following and thank me later - khinkhali (the dumpling-alikes on the image above), khachapuri (delicious cheesy bread), mtsvadi (have this plum sauce with shashlik), badrijhani nigvzit (eggplan dish) and don't forget to try the bazhe (walnut sauce) which is insane 🤤. Finally, when you go to Georgia, you mustn't leave without trying some of the local wine... #tripblazers #mytripvlog

Georgia on My Mind

No, I am not talking about that Georgia referred to in the song. Instead, we will explore Georgia, a tiny country at the intersection of Europe and Asia. Georgia is a former Soviet republic that’s home to Caucasus Mountain villages and Black Sea beaches. The capital city is Tbilisi and is one of the oldest cities in the world Dzveli Tbilisi, or Old Tbilisi, is a large area known for its snaking lanes, traditional Tbilisi houses, and restaurant-lined Jan Shardeni Street. There are a lot of historical places to visit in Georgia, some of which still dates back to the Bible. The best time to visit Tbilisi is durint Fall. From July to September you can still avoid extreme summer heat and humidity and freezing winter. #fallingforfall

Tbilisi, Georgia
