Tbilisi is a city that is very suitable for city walks
Because the main attractions are relatively concentrated, you can basically visit them all in one day.
It is recommended to stay near the old city, where you can eat, drink, play and rent a car in one go, which is very convenient. I have summarized a route that does not go back, and I think it is quite reasonable.
The route is as follows:
Take the cable car up the mountain to Narikala Fortress, Mother Fortress, take the cable car down the mountain to visit the old city
Peace Bridge Clock Tower Freedom Square
Take the popular small train up the mountain to Mtatsminda
Mtatsminda Park Holy Trinity Church
Let's talk about a few main attractions:
1 Narikala Fortress: Search for Narikala Fortress, here you can take the cable car up the mountain, walk to the left of the end point, and go down a small section of the mountain, you can see the gate of the fortress, go in, you can overlook the city of Tbilisi. In addition to taking the cable car, you can actually climb up from the street below.
2 Mother Fortress: On the right hand side of the cable car up the mountain, keep walking, and you will see the mother statue. It is in a different direction from the fortress. Don't get it wrong here. Of course, you can go to either first. But if you want to walk down the mountain, you can go to see the mother statue first, then go to the fortress, and you can go down the mountain directly after visiting.
3 Peace Bridge: It is considered a landmark building in Tbilisi, connecting the new city and the old city. This bridge doesn't need to be visited specifically, it's a modern building, just overlook it from the mountain.
4 Clock Tower: Search for The Clock Tower, also known as the Puppet Clock Tower, it should be the most famous landmark in Tbilisi. Go on the hour to see the puppet ringing the bell. Go at 12 noon or 7 pm, and you will see more puppets coming out. In fact, there is a puppet theater next to it, and there is a ticket office under the clock tower, where you can buy puppet show tickets. If you have time, you can go and see.
5 Mtatsminda Park: Search for Mtatsminda Park, this is a amusement park, you can reach it by taking the popular small train, it is also on the mountain, with a wider view. It is recommended to take a ride on the Ferris wheel on the mountain, which can be said to be almost the highest point that tourists in Tbilisi can reach. The city view from above is very beautiful.
6 Holy Trinity Church: This church must be visited at night to see the night view, it is really beautiful. We went during the day and at night, and we believe that this church is the most beautiful church in the entire Georgia journey.
Here is a brief introduction to the popular cable car and the popular small train
1 Cable car: One-way 2.5 lari/person, you need to get a card, the card fee is 2 lari, and multiple people can use it. This card can also be used for buses or subways,
2 Small train: One-way 10 lari/person, you also need to get a card, the card fee is 2 lari, and multiple people can use it. This card can also be used to play various amusement facilities in the amusement park on the mountain. If you want to play, you can recharge some money in the card in advance. The Ferris wheel we took was 10 lari/person.
The mother fortress is located high in Georgia, and you can see the whole Georgia from it. In the evening, you can wait for the sun to set and watch the sunset. This season, Tbilisi is only more than 20 degrees at night, which is really comfortable.
[Nariqala Fortress] Also known as the Mother Fortress of Tbilisi, it is the oldest fortification in the area. When Tbilisi was built in the 4th century, the fortress was built with the castle. The church in the fortress was built in the 12th century. The interior of the church is decorated with murals depicting the Bible and historical Georgian scenes. Tbilisi is built on the hillside and offers a panoramic view of the entire Old Town. This is an ancient fortress that can be reached on foot or by cable car. The cable car is a one-way 2.5 5 yuan round trip. I spent 7 yuan. Later, I found out that it was equivalent to buying another card. In fact, this card and the subway card are universal. You only need to have 5 yuan in the card to brush it twice. Later friends should remember that I bought two cards for no use, and later gave them to the friends I met. The cable car point is near the east bank of Heping Bridge. MRQ5+4R8, Tbilisi, The cable car point address under the Georgian mountain: MRR6+Q7C, Tbilisi, Georgia.

In Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, the most famous classic is the Mother Fortress (also known as the Georgian Mother). This sculpture was made by the people of the former Soviet Union during World War II. Red wine in the left hand, sword in the right hand, but in response to the lyrics of our country, friends come to have wine, enemies come to have shotguns
We first visited the large sculpture "Mother of Georgia" on one side of the cable car, and then went to Fort Narikala on the other side. The fortress is now an abandoned building, and the broken walls attract more tourists. According to the information, the fortress was built in the 4th century A.D., and in 1827 a big explosion occurred in the Russian ammunition depot garrisoned there. As a result, the fortress was badly damaged. The entrance and exit of the fortress were located on the hillside. We were eager to take a convenient path. As a result, the last part of the fortress had to climb up the wall because there was no place to settle down. The adventure of this section later let me climb up the fortress wall. They think it's better to take the regular route honestly and economically. Walking into the Narikala Fortress, you can see the incomplete walls and towers everywhere. We summoned up the courage to climb to the top of the fortress like other tourists, when the darkness of night approached, besides street lights and household lights in the city, landmarks began to light up decorative lights. The city of Tbilisi is even more charming under the night lights. We waited for a long time in the middle of the fortress until the whole city was basically immersed in the blending atmosphere of street buildings and landmark lighting.
