Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A City That Charms on Every Visit Tbilisi,
a city I've had the pleasure of exploring on numerous occasions, recently captivated me once again during a family vacation. It's a place that seamlessly blends its rich, centuries-old culture with a modern vibe. One of Tbilisi's greatest delights is getting lost in its beautiful alleyways.
These charming paths are lined with history, whispering tales of a bygone era. The friendly locals you encounter along the way add another layer of warmth to the experience. Tbilisi truly earns its reputation as a safe city. Very comfortable exploring on foot, even venturing out for nighttime strolls without a worry. This sense of security allows you to fully immerse ourselves in the city's atmosphere.
Foodies will rejoice in Tbilisi's culinary scene. The local cuisine is a delicious adventure, and I highly recommend indulging in the flavorful Chakapuli soup and the savory Khinkhali dumplings. History buffs will be enthralled by the city's abundance of ancient monuments, some dating back over a thousand years. Stunning natural beauty surrounds Tbilisi, with sparkling lakes and majestic mountains within easy reach.
Tbilisi's nightlife is another highlight. Whether you prefer lively bars or relaxing cafes, there's something for everyone. Exploring Tbilisi doesn't have to break the bank. The public transportation system is clean, efficient, and affordable. Hotels cater to a wide range of budgets, ensuring a comfortable stay for any traveler.
Traffic is also manageable, making getting around the city a breeze. For those seeking more independence, renting a car is an inexpensive option. This allows you to explore the surrounding areas and hidden gems at your own pace.
Tbilisi's charm lies in its multifaceted nature. It offers a captivating blend of history, culture, delicious food, and stunning natural beauty. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, Tbilisi has something special to offer everyone.

I would say that Tbilisi's main charm is the ambient atmosphere of the city, and the most important part of that is the Old Town. Its cobblestoned streets must definitely be explored on foot, with beautiful art all across, combining traditional and modern, official and unofficial (in for of graffitis). Calm dogs roam the streets that are filled with life.

Old Tbilisi is a captivating labyrinth of winding streets, historic buildings, and vibrant culture. Immerse yourself in the city's rich history as you explore ancient churches, traditional bathhouses, and architectural gems. Savor delicious Georgian cuisine, indulge in local wine, and soak up the warm hospitality of the locals. It's a place where the old world charm seamlessly blends with modern-day energy, offering a truly unforgettable experience.

The old town is unique in terms of the building architecture that is very unique to the world. Do however note that you can limitless pictures of the old town and it is very walkable . However, amongst the numerous churches, I was not able to enter a sugar one as the drs and gates to the church are closed and they prevent your aura from visiting . As such , you can’t enter any of the old soundings unless you are eating or shopping in the one town .

The city is a very laid back and historical city. There are many historical buildings there's a sulfur bath, a cable car to go up to the top of the mountain, a glass bridge and a river running through it. The city is very safe and city is lots of shops restaurants, many different color roses for sale I don't know if they are grown in Georgia or not but this is something you will see at many shops. Moreover, its has the best tasting food in all of Europe..

The old town of Tbilisi has its own flair - especially beautiful and classic for the city are the old wooden balconies. Within walking distance of the main attractions. In addition to clockwork, the old churches such as the Anchiskhati Church from the 6th century are also a must. ==References====External links== For short or longer breaks there are many nice restaurants and cafes.
It is also worth taking a walk outside the well-known streets such as Erekle II, Sioni and Rustaveli. However, you can still see many unrenovated and dilapidated (although inhabited) buildings.

Old city which is a Pandora box of restaurants, shops, bakeries, cathedrals, Sulphur baths, Wineries. Its a whole pot puree of cultures and tourists from all parts of the world. We loved walking up and down the cobbled street and peeping into every shop for souvenir shopping. There is a string of night restaurants which bring out the lively night life. Lot of places and benches to sit and watch the world go by. There is I Love Tbilisi too for photo-ops. We loved spending our evenings here post our day tours

The Old Town of Tbilisi is a Gem. Although we took several full-day trips outside of Tbilisi, we always came back to walking ups and down the Old Town. So many points of interest. Architecture from different periods. Pebbled streets. Numerous restaurants, wonderful ambience. Visit it day and night and before sunset too. Venture to the back streets. Check out the Hot Baths. Walk into old Churches. Take a boat ride on the river. Just a wonderful area of Tbilisi. A must visit.

Very beautiful place to be. At walking distance you can see all best venues. Pleasant, different, interesting, multicultural city centre: orthodox churches, synagogues, museums, a modern bridge and the aerial tramway leading to the fortress and the Mother of Georgia statue... My advice: when in Tbilisi, book a hotel in the old city, and you will also enjoy the buzzing nightlife there with live music, nice restaurants and bars.

The old city of Tbilisi is beautiful! Very narrow alleys, countless restaurants, small old churches. Wander and turn all over the old town. The catering shops are very expensive, I would say for Tbilisi prices, but they have good quality.

Anyone visiting Tbilisi last week, is it safe to go since the conflicts and protests continue?
Written 15 December 2024
Hoping to visit Tbilisi for the first time next April. Please could you help by recommending places to stay, we’re unfamiliar with the city so unsure where is best. Walking long distances isn’t on our list, local transport advice welcomed! We’d like to visit local sites, nice restaurants (Tbilisi food specialities?) and perhaps do some shopping whilst there. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I'm gonna go to the Tbilisi next week, can you give me some advises? for reserving hotel, ordering a taxi or maybe renting a bike? please tell me about difficulties which you had there?
Written 21 May 2019
You might check hotelscom, but the best location to stay is either near Meidan, or old town square. Airbnb is also a big help (if you are interested). As far as Taxi, download these to Apps, they are pretty much like Uber:
1. Bolt-Taxify
2. Yandax
All you need is a local sim card, which you can buy it for about $5. Magti usually has a good coverage, speed and price, but you might check the other ones at the airport. Good luck and enjoy beautiful Tibilisi
