Tbilisi in Photos

Tbilisi doesn't reveal itself in a single frame. The Old Town with its carved balconies and narrow lanes below Narikala Fortress. The sulfur baths with their domes in the Abanotubani district, where, legend says, King Vakhtang discovered a hot spring and founded the capital. The modern Bridge of Peace over the Kura River, the glass Palace of Justice and Freedom Square, contrasting with the baroque facades of Rustaveli Avenue. Views from Mtatsminda over the night city, the funicular, and Sameba Cathedral on the hill. This gallery presents Tbilisi by theme: the Old Town, modern architecture, views from above, night shots, and everyday life of the capital. All photos are original editorial work, taken by our team during walks and trips.
