Tbilisi -- City that Gets Better Every Day

by rjaparidze - last update: May 24, 2007

So... Finally I decided to build Tbilisi page and I intend to make it as comprehensive as possible.

What one can say about my city... Well, it definitely is not Paris and definitely gets more and more beautiful every day.

Back in 2001 when corruption was at its high in Georgia I visited Baku and thought that Tbilisi was significantly behind it. Nowadays I think otherwise (and I do not want to specify) and I am pretty confident that this city will attract a lot of tourists in the future.
View over Narikala and Balconied Houses
What is in short the most noticeable that Tbilisi is really distinguished from other cities???

Well I would name the following:

1. Unique architecture
2. Different old town
3. Fantastic food
4. and Georgians themselves
Balconied Houses in Dry Bridge Location
I will be also objective and also indicate what are the negative sides of this city:

1. A lot of garbage and low culture in population for not throwing it out
2. Petty crime (though recent attack on "Vorov V Zakone" (thiefs in law) by President Saakashvili improved situation noticeably)
3. Quite a few beggars in the streets
4. Excessive consumption of alcohol at Georgian Table - Supra (though this does not mean that there are alcoholics roaming in the streets)

Pros:"Location, Architecture, Food and People"
Cons:"Garbage, Petty Crime and Beggars in the streets"
In A Nutshell:"Definitely worth a visit"

 Kudos to Georgia for once again standing up to the Big Red Machine.

 My heart goes out to Georgia and her continued fight. I see you are in the top 5 on virtual tourist for georgia. I hope to visit in June. Can you give me the top 5 places in Tbilisi to visit?

 Looks fantastic and I'd love to come but I think it's not easy from the UK
