Tbilisi is a vibrant multi-cultural city with rich culture, many amazing

historic touristic sights, unique old town, but also many modern and

underground bars and cafés, numerous events going on in the

downtown and around. The typical soviet project buildings create

specific atmosphere of its suburbs.

In past few years the city became popular destination of tourists andespecially young travelers and "freedom seekers", keen to discover the

local culture, traditions and places that are only known to the locals.

Georgia is characteristic with amazing hospitality and openness

towards visitors, who are ready to respect the local customs.
