Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, is unique. It stands on several mountain hills, on which tiers “crawl” the ancient quarters of the city. Tbilisi is the beautiful Kura River with its picturesque rocky banks, flowing through the entire city.

“Old Town,” the historic center of Tbilisi, is located at the foot of Mount Mtatsminda (Holy Mountain). Almost all buildings of the Old City – historical or cultural monuments, here around the clock bustles with life, tourists walk alone or in groups, lovers meet at the clock tower – this funny Tower appeared recently, built by the director of the Puppet Theater Rezo Gabriadze, artists exhibit their paintings, artisans offer numerous souvenirs. These are mostly 2-3-story houses made of stone and brick, and have a special Tbilisi architecture, characterized by narrow streets, galleries and carved wooden balconies.
