About this journey

Most visitors see Tbilisi's old town in two hours and decide they have seen the city. This day is the argument against that.

It moves from the sulphur bath quarter and the Betlemi steps up to Narikala, then out to the parts of the city that rarely make the itinerary: the Soviet-modernist Ministry of Highways building, the Chronicle of Georgia, and the market halls at Dezerter Bazaar.

Food is threaded throughout — a bakery, a market, a wine bar, and a long lunch in a courtyard restaurant.

Highlights

The Abanotubani sulphur bath quarter
Narikala fortress and the Betlemi steps
