Tbilisi

Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, is a city where Europe meets Asia in a captivating architectural and cultural symphony. Built along the banks of the Kura (Mtkvari) River and surrounded by steep hills, Tbilisi stands out for its famous carved wooden balconies, the narrow alleyways of its Old Town, and the sulfur baths that gave the city its name (Tbilisi means “warm place”). It is a location where the old and the new boldly coexist: from ancient fortresses to futuristic glass bridges. Wander through its bohemian neighborhoods, admire the half-ruined mansions that conceal centuries of history, and surrender to the legendary Georgian hospitality—a nation that lives for grand feasts (supra), heartfelt toasts, and the world’s oldest wine tradition.
