Tbilisi-Mtskheta sightseeing tour

After breakfast, the day starts with exploration of a fabulous city of Tbilisi – a city of wonders. Our first destination will be Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi – the biggest cathedral in Georgia, which is a synthesis of different church styles in Georgia and is unique due to this reason.
Next destination is Metekhi, situated on a hill, which is overlooking the river Mtkvari, Rike Park and the Bridge of Peace – the 13th most unusual bridges in the world and a modern architectural masterpiece.
We will walk down from Metekhi to the bridge, passing through the Rike Park. On the bridge, you can take tons of photos with old Tbilisi views –with presidential palace, Narikala Frortress, the river Mtkvari and Metekhi in the background. It is a breathtaking view from below.
Next, we will travel by a cable car to the Narikala Fortress, which represented an entrance gate into the city in the distant past and from there you can admire the entire city.
After Narikala, we will move to bath district. As you are approaching Abanotubani (the bath district), the smell of sulfur is getting stronger and stronger, since the baths are built on naturally occurring hot sulfur springs. Legvtakhevi Waterfall situated in the heart of the city – it is the first Tbilisi from where you can take unforgettable memories with you by only a few clicking on your video camera.
Next, enjoy strolling in Meidan square through a narrow Sharden street, full of cozy cafes, restaurants, wine tasting bars and souvenir shops, to the statue of Tamada, a replica of a small statue found near Kutaisi, dating back to the 7th century BC, which proves a Georgian wine tradition from the ancient time.
After that, you will visit an old capital of Iberia – Mtskheta. On the way, you will inspect Bagineti Archeological Site from where opens a breathtaking view of the old capital Mtskheta and the river Mtkvari. Once you look over Mtskheta from Bagineti, you will be blissfully happy. From Bagineti, you will visit unquestionably gorgeous and once the major cathedral of Georgia – Svetitskhoveli, designated as UNESCO world heritage site and drive up to the Jvari Monastery, majestically towering Mtskheta with an unforgettable view over the confluence of two major rivers of Georgia – Mtkvari and Aragvi.
