Enjoy the diverse charm and tradition of Tbilisi
With a history dating back to the 5th century AD, Tbilisi's name is derived from its hot springs, which remain an integral part of the city's culture. As a visitor, you can still partake in this local tradition with a trip to one of the many sulphur baths. As Georgia's capital city, Tbilisi is culturally diverse, drawing influences from Europe in the east and Asia in the west. An eclectic blend of ancient and modern architecture gives the city an unmistakable character, from the Narikala Fortress to the more recently built Tsminda Sameba Cathedral. The Leaning Clock Tower is undoubtedly one of Tbilisi's most unique buildings thanks to its distinctive construction, with an angel striking a bell each hour. Whichever part of the city you find yourself in, expect a lively atmosphere and quaint cobbled streets.
