Tbilisi Holy Trinity Cathedral
One of the landmark buildings in Georgia, it is located on the left bank of the Mtkvari River in the city area, on Mount Ilia, nestled among the city's ancient buildings, making it particularly eye-catching! The cathedral was built between 1995 and 2004 and is the largest church in Georgia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The cathedral includes a bell tower and several small chapels. The main building is about 100 meters high, making it the tallest church in Georgia, visible from any angle in Tbilisi. It is one of the must-visit locations for various major films, and the cathedral is particularly magnificent. Even photography novices can take beautiful pictures here.
Liberty Square
Liberty Square, as the name suggests, has a rich historical background. It was built during the 19th century under the rule of the Russian Empire and was once called Erivan Square. During the Soviet era, it was renamed Lenin Square. It seems that Lenin is unavoidable there, just like in Russia, where almost every city has a Lenin Street or Lenin Square.
Dry Bridge Market is the most famous flea market in Tbilisi and even the South Caucasus. The market stretches about 2km from east to west. It's somewhat like Panjiayuan in Beijing, with all sorts of good stuff. Many artists, antique dealers, and cultural goods merchants gather here. If you search carefully, you'll definitely find some great items in no time!
Old Tbilisi
The old town of Tbilisi is the essence of Tbilisi tourism. The old town was founded in the 4th century AD during the reign of King Vakhtang Gurgasali, who ordered the construction of the new capital of Georgia. Located at the crossroads of the Caucasus, it has always been the most important city in Georgia. However, for this reason, every time Georgia was invaded by foreign enemies, this place was inevitably the first to bear the brunt, so it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. Most of the existing buildings in the old town were built after the Persian invasion and burning of the city by Agha Mohammad Shah in 1795. The town has many important historical and religious buildings, reflecting the characteristics of the meeting point between East and West. Transportation, dining, and accommodation are all very convenient.
Mtatsminda
Mtatsminda, also known by some netizens as 'Mother Mountain,' is home to the iconic Mother of Georgia statue, a landmark of Tbilisi. The top of Mtatsminda is also the best viewpoint for a panoramic view of the entire city of Tbilisi.
Narikala Fortress
On a clear day, take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress. Under the azure sky, the Armenian-style church domes and the minaret of the mosque create a picturesque scene in every photo...
Borjomi Central Park
Over a thousand years ago, Borjomi mineral water was discovered here. If you visit, you might have the chance to taste the world-famous natural sparkling mineral water at its source.
Jvari Monastery
Like a sudden giant rock, it stands precisely at the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers. Standing here and looking up at the sky, it seems purer than ever before. This place houses the greatest relics of the Christian world. The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, with a history of a thousand years, is the most important church in Georgia. It holds very sacred relics of Jesus, and locals consider it an honor to be baptized here.
