Walk through Tbilisi’s historic centre to see monuments that range from a theatre and bridge to castles, civic buildings, houses and churches. Along the way, pause at each stop to read the city through its surviving façades, public spaces and places of worship. The route brings together grand landmarks and quieter architectural details, making it a rewarding way to follow Tbilisi’s past on foot. Allow time to look closely, especially where several historic buildings appear together.
