Much of the range of influence in Tbilisi is due to its distinct location.

With mainly Orthodox Christians, Tbilisi is also home to Jews and Muslims whose religious centres can all be seen within the city's Old Town.

One of the best places to experience in Tbilisi is that of which the name derived. 'Tbili' literally means warm in Georgian, and the Iranian Sulfur Baths in the Bath district of Abanotubani are a must-do for anyone visiting Tbilisi. The baths are also part of a local legend, where a 5th century king moved the capital city of Georgia to Tbilisi after a deer that he had shot with an arrow had miraculously recovered after falling into the baths. Whether or not this is a true story, the baths are certainly a 'hot spot' for travellers, and are known for their rheumatic healing powers. Visit our Tbilisi Tours page for ideas and inspiration!
Tbilisi also offers plenty to see and do culturally within the city limits. The Tbilisi State Academic Opera and Ballet theatre is located in the centre of town and is the oldest one of its kind in Georgia and has hosted many famous operas and ballets.
