Until 1936, this area of the city was called "Tpilisi." Today, this historical part of the city is referred to as "Old Tbilisi" and, what’s more, it has been UNESCO-listed since 2007.
There’s something magical about Old Tbilisi — a place where every street tells a story and every balcony feels like a piece of art. Walking through the historic heart of Tbilisi is like stepping into a living museum, where past and present blend effortlessly. ✨
One of the first things you’ll notice is the charming wooden balconies that lean over narrow cobblestone streets. These iconic houses, many dating back to the 19th century, create a warm and romantic atmosphere that’s perfect for slow wandering. 😊
Every corner is photo-worthy — whether it’s a hidden courtyard, a vintage door, or sunlight hitting pastel-colored walls.
Old Tbilisi is home to some of the city’s most important cultural and religious sites.
Visit the stunning Narikala Fortress for breathtaking panoramic views of the city, or explore the peaceful Sioni Cathedral and the iconic Anchiskhati Basilica — the oldest surviving church in Tbilisi.
Each landmark reflects the rich and diverse history that makes this city so unique. 🕊️
No visit to Old Tbilisi is complete without experiencing the historic Abanotubani district. Recognizable by its brick domes, this area is known for its natural sulfur baths — a tradition that dates back centuries.
