Amazing place with a waterfall in the center
Oct 2021
I love Tbilisi! It's been surprisingly one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. And so far it is the only old town with a beautiful waterfall!

Interesting architecture
Sep 2021
Old Town of Tbilisi is interesting, the architecture which I have never seen before. Some nice painted houses, other houses looking very destroyed and with improvised construction, balconies look like they are going to fall. Very interesting. A problem I encountered was the bad condition of some streets, especially those with only small stones and located uphill. When it rains, it is even harder to move, it gets very slippery. Now I understand why everyone takes Bolt, taxi for everything and the traffic in the city gets chaotic.

Unfortunately. a lot of shops and restaurants have closed down due to Covid. Curfew is still in effect from 10:00 pm. Best to use Bolt when using taxi service.

Beautiful and charming
Jul 2021 • Business
Took a walk through the Old Town - narrow streets with bars, restaurants and shops all full of character. Some bronze artworks on display.
This is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy. I wish I had more than just one day for sightseeing here. This is the heart of the city and a tribute to tradition and charm. Enjoy but do not hurry - linger - the experience is great.
Sad to see so many establishments hit by Covid, causing closure.

Book a walking tour
Jun 2021 • Solo
I booked a walking tour through the hotel concierge. This helped bring the stories and history to life. This is a nest part of town that feels like you have stepped back in time. After the tour you can hang out, wander, or eat on your own. This is more well-known for night life but going during the day to appreciate the buildings and history of the place.

Hey guys, I'm gonna go to the Tbilisi next week, can you give me some advises? for reserving hotel, ordering a taxi or maybe renting a bike? please tell me about difficulties which you had there?

You might check hotelscom, but the best location to stay is either near Meidan, or old town square. Airbnb is also a big help (if you are interested). As far as Taxi, download these to Apps, they are pretty much like Uber:
1. Bolt-Taxify
2. Yandax
All you need is a local sim card, which you can buy it for about $5. Magti usually has a good coverage, speed and price, but you might check the other ones at the airport. Good luck and enjoy beautiful Tibilisi

С погодой угадать всегда непросто, но местные говорили, что обычно в конце декабря температура чуть выше нуля, около 5 градусов, а снега не видели давно.

I have just found out what time period you want to research. Very old records are in the State Archive. I'm just trying to find out how long back the documents go in either place and will get back to you

Hello there,
Home from home for backpackers in Tbilisi is Marjanishvili, a leafy street that`s full of local life,east of the Mtkvari River.Several homestays of varying character offer inexpensive accommodation here.They don`t serve food but there are plenty of economical eateries and food shops nearby.To get there using the metro you can get off both at the Rustaveli Station or the Marjanishvili Station.
Good bye to the old year ! Here`s to the new !

My family is from Tbilisi from before the war. Does anyone know who I would contact about finding family members that may still be there?
I know it's a long shot but thought we'd give it a try.
Email addresses of of old records perhaps ....open to suggestions too.
Thank you kindly,
Sonja
