Walk through Tbilisi with a focus on its Georgian Orthodox churches and the carved balconies that give the city’s streets their distinctive character. Along the route, you will encounter churches ranging from intimate historic spaces to the monumental Holy Trinity Cathedral, while keeping watch for detailed wooden balconies between stops. Notice how religious architecture and domestic craftsmanship create two complementary views of Tbilisi. This is a rewarding way to explore the city through its places of worship and its most expressive residential details.
