Things to do in Tbilisi

Georgia's characterful capital tumbles down the slopes of the Mtkvari river gorge, its balconied old town, sulphur baths and hilltop fortress backed by wooded ridges that rise straight from the streets. Few capitals put wilderness so close to the doorstep, which makes Tbilisi both a great city break and the springboard for adventure across eastern Georgia.

Ridges, air and easy escapes

Walk the Mtatsminda and Turtle Lake ridges and the trails of Tbilisi National Park, take a tandem paragliding flight over the city, then head out to the wine country and monasteries of eastern Georgia. City-fringe walks are perfectly beginner-friendly — open the Book here tab for what is running.
