Los fines de semana hay muchos niños, pero realmente valió la pena visitar este lugar. Es increíble cómo un sitio declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO está tan bien preservado. La importancia y la historia del lugar son obvias. Es maravilloso que todo se pueda tocar.

Ez egy csodálatos hely, ahol betekintést nyerhetünk abba, hogyan éltek az emberek 3000 évvel ezelőtt. Nagyon jó állapotban maradtak meg a látnivalók.

A fascinating historical site that's definitely worth a visit. I wouldn't recommend paying extra for the wine cellar. The entrance fee of 15 Lari includes a cozy museum that plays an engaging documentary about the place.

Surprised that this spot has only 140 reviews because it's definitely worth a visit. Built around 2000 BC, it's fascinating to see human ingenuity before the advent of speech. The evidence of ancient medical studies with herbs is particularly amazing. The climb isn't too challenging. I have weak knees and struggle with claustrophobia, but I navigated the place just fine. Although it's not a UNESCO site or an ancient capital as some might mistakenly believe, it remains a remarkable testament to history.

An outstanding open-air museum featuring a stunning array of rock caves and tunnels set in beautiful scenery along the Mykvar River. I'd suggest taking a tour guide or using an audio guide to learn about the fascinating history dating back to the early Iron Ages. Wearing comfortable shoes is a must. Highly recommend it! ✨

This museum offers a glimpse into Georgian history. As you explore further, you'll find the intriguing caves in this ancient cave town. However, be prepared for a rather compact space, which might feel a bit cramped at times. Nonetheless, it's a fascinating visit.
