Historic Tbilisi Walking Tour
Discover the aged charisma of Tbilisi’s historic district by embarking on a self-guided walking tour. With its narrow streets, colorful buildings, and abundant history, it's a lovely way to spend an afternoon together.
- Start your tour early day from Freedom Square, the heart of Tbilisi. Walk towards Sioni Street, a charming road full of old-world charm and famous landmarks. Follow the trail to stop by Sioni Cathedral, a prime example of Georgian architecture.
- Continue on to Bridge of Peace, a modern picturesque footbridge above Mtkvari River, illuminated by numerous LEDs and guarantees a perfect backdrop for a romantic picture. From the bridge, you can get to Rike Park, a lovely place to have a casual stroll or sit back, relax and soak in the surroundings.
- Finally, head to the Narikala Fortress. You can either take a funicular or choose to trek to the top. The view from the fortress offers a 360-degree panorama of Tbilisi, making it the best spot to watch a romantic sunset together. The day ends with a slow walk through the Botanical Garden.

- Don't forget to charge your phone or camera. The city offers numerous photo opportunities and you won't want to run out of battery mid-way. Also, it might be a good idea to bring a binocular for a closer view of the city from the fortress.
