Tbilisi Old Town (Dzveli Tbilisi) Tours and Tickets

The Old Town is home to many of the Georgian capital’s most prized cultural and historical attractions. These include the district of Abanotubani, famous for its sulfur baths, the 4th-century hilltop fortress of Narikala, and bustling Shardeni Street, known for its restaurants, cafés, shops, and hookah bars.

That depends. Guided walking tours may take a full day or as little as a few hours, depending on what attractions are visited or if any food or drink stops are included. A full day is enough to tick off the highlights, though two to three days is recommended.

Yes, especially if you plan to soak in the city’s sulfur-infused thermal waters. Many people consider this historic district the most picturesque part of the city, enough that you may be tempted to spend your whole vacation roaming these cobbled streets. Remember, there’s still more Tbilisi to see.

That depends. While many smaller alleys—which may be cobblestoned, uneven, or contain steps or stairs—cannot be accessed by wheelchair users, some of the larger streets or squares are easier to navigate. Some may even have ramps or handrails. Tours may also be available for visitors with mobility limitations.

Weather-wise, spring and fall are ideal seasons when the days are typically mild, and you won’t have the summer sun pounding down on you, either. However, winter is the perfect time to enjoy a long soak in a hot bath if you can stand the cold. You’ll also find a festive, cozy atmosphere.

Yes, of course! While many people opt for a guided tour to get their bearings, the Old Town is easily navigated by independent travelers. Just make sure your smartphone is equipped with enough data to use GPS services because it’s easy to get lost in the maze of streets.
