Open today at 09:30-17:30
梨花落🍀:“The Monastery of the Cross (Jvari Church) was built at the end of the 6th century AD. It is the place where Saint Nino first erected a cross when Christianity was introduced to Georgia in the 4th century AD. Lermontov, a great Russian poet, wrote the famous poem "The Child Monk" here. The church houses a portrait of Saint Nino and a huge wooden cross called the Cross of Saint Nino, which attracts a large number of believers to make pilgrimages. The monastery is located on a rocky mountaintop near the ancient city of Mtskheta, overlooking the confluence of the Kura River and the Aragvi River and the ancient city of Mtskheta.”

梨花落🍀:“Tbilisi Stonehenge is a newly built building, built on a high point on the edge of the city, overlooking the panoramic view of the city and the sea view of Tbilisi. The sculptures on the Stonehenge are divided into three parts, the bottom layer is the biblical story, the middle layer is the saint story, and the top layer is the people's family story. It is quite shocking under the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds. It is one of the must-see attractions in Tbilisi.”

滕凯舟:“It was Sunday when we went there. The church was in service and only locals were allowed in.
The grass outside was very comfortable. Listening to the hymns from the church and basking in the warm winter sun made me feel very happy.
There was a small square outside the church. There were horse-drawn carriages and children playing football. Everything looked very natural and leisurely.”

The football team of the town where I live happened to play there that day, and I encountered a fan parade; then I watched the padel tennis open; I went to swim in the sea with a super long beach and watched a concert on the sand "mountaintop", and of course I couldn't miss walking on the forest road.”

In the evening, you can take a cable car up the mountain to wait for the sun to set and watch the sunset. The temperature in Tbilisi at night is only over 20 degrees in this season, which is really comfortable.”

zinnia_615:“Freedom Square is the absolute center of the west bank of the Kura River. The towering statue of St. George slaying the dragon shines with golden light even on cloudy days, overlooking all living things. With this as the center of the circle, there is no need to deliberately plan the route. The streets in all directions can become an excellent route for exploring the city.”

Open year round, 24/7
zinnia_615:“The new pedestrian bridge "Peace Bridge" across the Mtkvari River in Tbilisi was designed by Italian architect Michel De Lucchi and French lighting designer Philie Martinaud. The bridge, built of glass and iron, connects the old and new districts of Tbilisi and features a 150-meter-high canopy. The bridge was officially opened on May 6 and has become a modern design landmark in Tbilisi.
From the bridge, you can see the Metekhi Church and the Narikala Fortress as well as the Baratashivili Bridge and the Presidential Residence. It is equipped with an interactive light display system, including 30,000 LED lights and 240 sensors, which flash along the two parapets of the bridge every hour according to special signals, much like Morse code, symbolizing the chemical elements of the human body and human life and peace. The glittering bridge has an almost biological appearance with its sea creature-like shape crawling over the river.”

M48***27:“Return to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, from Armenia, because we will take a flight to Kazakhstan in Tbilisi. The flight is at night, and we will continue to visit Tbilisi during the day. [Mtskheta Ancient City], listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO
Mtskheta Ancient City was built in the Bronze Age of the Georgian Dynasty
Located at the intersection of ancient trade routes and at the confluence of two rivers. This ancient city was the capital of the Georgian Dynasty until the 5th century, when the Georgian Dynasty moved its capital to Tbilisi. As a religious center, Mtskheta Ancient City follows the architectural style of the 11th-century church domes and cross-shaped planes. Mtskheta Ancient City is a classic example of medieval church architecture and a witness to the exquisite art and culture of the Georgian Dynasty. At the [Jvari Church] on the top of a mountain near the ancient city of Mtskheta,
Overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city of Mtskheta, the Jvari Church is the oldest church in the ancient city of Mtskheta. It was built between 585 and 604 AD. The worship of the cross is a symbol of the piety of the Georgians, which is also reflected in the name of the church ("Jvari" means cross). [The Castle of God] can be traced back to the early Iron Age. It is located on a towering rock cliff. From the castle, you can overlook the banks of the Mukovari River. The cave city was carved out of natural sand and stone and covers an area of eight hectares. For a long time, this land has nurtured millions of Georgians. Although the cave city has experienced years of wind and rain, and even been threatened by earthquakes, it is still magnificent and magnificent. It is still a model of the perfect combination of pagan and Christian architectural styles.
