Must-visit for the first-time visitor! Tbilisi's must-see spots

It is not about a pile of photos and a small vanity, nor is it about a desire to travel. It's about being bound too tightly by city life and finding our true selves on the journey. That is the true meaning of travel. Let's take a look at the must-visit spots in Tbilisi.

Episcopal Church of St. Trinity in Tbilisi

One of the landmark buildings in Georgia, it is located on Mount Ilya on the left bank of the Mtkvari River in the downtown area, hidden among the city's ancient buildings, particularly eye-catching! The church was built between 1995 and 2004 and is the largest church in Georgia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The church includes a bell tower and several small chapels. The main building is about 100 meters high and is the tallest church in Georgia, visible from any angle in Tbilisi. This is a must-visit place for various big productions, and the church is especially magnificent, even a novice in the photography industry can take some beautiful photos here~

Freedom Square

Liberty Square, just the name alone tells of its rich historical background. Built during the reign of the Russian Empire in the 19th century, it was once called Erivan Square. During the Soviet era, it was renamed Lenin Square. It seems that Lenin is always present in some way or another, much like in Russia where almost every city has a Lenin street or Lenin Square.
Dry Bridge Market, the most famous flea market in Tbilisi and even in the Caucasus, extends for about 2 km. It's a bit like Panjiayuan in Beijing, where you can find all sorts of good things. Many artists, antique dealers, and crafts merchants gather here. As long as you search carefully, you can definitely find good items in no time.

Old Tiberis

The Old Town of Tbilisi is the highlight of tourism in Tbilisi. The Old Town was built during the reign of King Vakhtang Gurgasali in the 4th century, who ordered the construction of a new city in Georgia. Located in the Caucasus transportation hub, it has always been the most important city in Georgia throughout history. However, every time Georgia was invaded by foreign enemies, it was always the first to suffer, and was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Most of the buildings inside the Old Town that still exist today were built after the Persian invasion and burning in 1795. There are many important historical and religious buildings in the city, displaying a mix of Eastern and Western styles. Transportation, dining, and accommodation are all very convenient.

Mount Surolak

Mt. Mtatsminda, also known as "Mother's Mountain" by some netizens, is named after the landmark building in Tbilisi, the statue of Mother Georgia. At the top of Mt. Mtatsminda is the best viewing platform to overlook the entire city of Tbilisi.

Fortress Denarikala

Clear weather, taking the cable car up to the Narikala Fortress, the domes of Armenian-style churches under the blue sky, minarets of mosques, every photo taken here has a grandeur...

Borromy Central Park

Just over a thousand years ago, Borjomi mineral water was discovered here. If you come here, you will have the opportunity to taste the world-famous naturally carbonated mineral water at its source.

Diwali Church

Like a solitary giant stone, standing upright at the confluence of the Kura River and the Aragvi River, looking up at the sky here seems purer than anything seen before. This is where the greatest relics of the Christian world are housed. The Svetitskhoveli Church, with its thousand-year history, is the most important church in Georgia. It holds the sacred relics of Jesus Christ, and the locals take great pride in being baptized here.
