    Tbilisi, Lost in the Old City

    The article describes the geographical and cultural layout of Tbilisi, a city built along both banks of the Kura River, connected by bridges and cable cars. Unlike many European cities, Tbilisi has no single city center—though Liberty Square, near the Parliament, is often considered the heart of the city. The real charm lies in the Old City, known for its colorful streets, cozy guesthouses, and friendly atmosphere. Key landmarks include Sioni Cathedral, the Great Synagogue, Anchiskhati Basilica, and the Gabriadze Clock Tower. Overlooking the city is the Kartlis Deda statue, symbolizing the spirit of Georgia. From there, visitors can reach Narikala Fortress and discover a hidden waterfall behind the hill. Street vendors sell local treats like wine and pomegranate ice cream for 5 GEL, adding to the city’s unique flavor. Tbilisi offers diverse cuisine for every preference, and its welcoming atmosphere makes travelers want to return again and again.
