Betlemi Street is about 300 meters long and is a staircase, located in the old historical district of the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi.

It starts from Khlebnaya Square and goes to the east, where it stops at the ascent to the Narikala fortress. The street got its name from the Betlemi quarter (aka Kldisubani), which in turn is named after the Upper Bethany Temple.

In past eras, this street was called Petkhainskaya (from the name of the entire block), and in Soviet times it was named after the Baku commissar Meshadi Azizbekov.

The staircase-street leads from Asatiani Street to two temples — Upper Betlemi and Lower Betlemi. This ascent or street-staircase of Betlemi has exactly 120 steps. In the 90s, it was renamed Bethlemskaya.

By the end of the 90s, this street had become one of the most dilapidated in the Old City. The old Betlemi visually disappeared in 2012 — 2013. Now her new story begins.

If you decide to stay in a hotel on this street, then your choice is successful. You will live close to the central streets and the Maidan, and at the same time close to the fortress and temples higher up the slope. We can safely say that Betlemi Street is the most beautiful places in Georgia, gathered together to please the eyes of local residents and guests of Tbilisi

    Labai graži vieta. Rekomenduoju lipti laiptais, o nusileisti funikulieriumi. Laukėme nusileidimui vos kelias minutes, o pakilti reikėjo laukti 30 minučių ar daugiau. Kaina 7 asmenims nusileisti apie 20 larių.

    Merdivenleri çıkmak gerçekten zorlayıcı, ama şehri yukarıdan görmek için bu merdivenleri çıkmak şart. Bu süreç nabzınızı artıracak ve sizi biraz yorgun hissettirecek, bu yüzden yanınıza içecek almanızı tavsiye ederim.

    I highly suggest taking the steps up to the Mother of Georgia. There are several historic sites along the way, and the views of the city are absolutely stunning.

    120 ступеней, построенных в 1850 году на средства купцов и труда ремесленников. Они ведут к Верхней церкви Бетлеми — храму V века, где покоятся мать и сестра основателя Тбилиси, царя Вахтанга Горгасали.

    В советское время это место называли «подъём Азизбекова». По пути можно увидеть следы зороастрийского храма V века и старинные дворы с резными балконами.

    Лучший вариант — подняться на фуникулёре к крепости Нарикала, а спускаться пешком по лестнице. Так не устанете, и успеете сделать много красивых снимков.
