Holidays in Tbilisi - a feast for the senses

Gamarjoba - hello and welcome to Georgia! This small country in the South Caucasus will delight you with its wild natural beauty and outstanding cuisine. The capital Tbilisi is a melting pot of cultures: Soviet, European and oriental influences characterise the cityscape and create a unique flair. Start your sightseeing tour with a cable car ride to Narikala Fortress to get an overview. The shimmering blue-green Junah Mosque, the gigantic Sameba Cathedral and the Peace Bridge are sure to attract everyone's attention.

The ‘Fabrika’ pulsates in the heart of the metropolis, where the aroma of fresh coffee and the babble of voices of international guests welcome you. Here you will find boutiques, galleries and cafés that invite you to linger. Georgia's cuisine is a delight for all the senses: savour khachapuri, a crispy bread filled with cheese, accompanied by a glass of spicy wine. ‘Shemomechama’ - “I can't stop eating” - is part of the standard vocabulary. From Tbilisi, the traditional wine regions, the cool mountain panorama of Stepanzminda and the salty sea air of Batumi beckon. Experience the diversity on an unforgettable tour of Georgia from Tbilisi.
