T'bilisi Travel Guide

Tbilisi is surprising. A fantastic melting pot of europe, asia and the middle east with a dash of something uniquely Georgian...the hospitality. Take clothes that are two sizes bigger because you will feast (literally) on some amazing food! georgian wine is famous and packs a punch (or was that the georgian massage attendant?) The culture of Tbilisi and the beauty of the surrounding mountains make Georgia a former soviet country not to ignore. Budget travellers should take care, as when i visited in 2007, no backpacker hostels exisited..dont let that stop you visiting though....you will be surprised, challenged and enchanted!

Tbilisi has a number of important landmarks and sightseeing locations. The parliament and the government (State Chancellery) buildings of Georgia, as well as the Supreme Court of Georgia, are all located in Tbilisi. The city also has important cultural landmarks such as Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre.
Beautiful old town - the architecture in the city is a mixture of local (Georgian), with strong influences of Byzantine and European style.

While going along the streets of Tbilisi and wondering around it is fun to talk with street sellers about life here and there, especially with elederly people on the streets. Be sure that you speek at least Russian. And if by chane, you will visit an small shop, ask for if the seller has a local wine. But not in the usual glass bottles as it comes in ex-Coca-Cola bottles. Be sure it will be very real wine!
