Top 5 things to see in Georgia

Number 5 – Mtskheta

Georgia’s ancient capital, Mtskheta. Which is just a Marshrutka ride away from Tbilisi. If you like history and architecture, then Mtskheta is the place to be. This place is one of the oldest cities in Georgia. Furthermore, she is also a UNESCO paradise. Did you know that the whole town can easily be explored on foot? But if you want to visit the famous Jvari Monastary you have to get a taxi.

Number 4 – Batumi

Batumi is Georgia’s sea-side paradise for the rich and famous. She lies close to the Turkish-Georgian border, on the Black Sea. This city is modern, upcoming and offers quite some luxurious hotels! Hence, the perfect location after some intensive days of traveling. Wander along the boulevard, learn about Ali and Nino and soak up the sun at one of the beach restaurants. Sounds awesome right?

Number 3 – Ananuri

Ananuri is a small settlement located on the Georgian Militairy Highway between Tbilisi and Kazbegi. This castle complex offers some beautiful views on the Aragvi River. Unfortunately, nowadays it’s being flooded by tourists. But it’s still definitely worth the visit! The site is well preserved and you are even allowed to have a look inside some of the buildings. Your accomodation host in Tbilisi can help you out to join a “Kazbegi tour”. There are dozens of tours every single day.

Number 2 – Kazbegi

Kazbegi, nowadays known as Stepantsminda, offers some amazing experiences of the Caucasus mountains. This place is the perfect spot for hiking and mountain climbing. After having a look around, the adventurous traveler might want to go 12 kilometers up north. There you will stumble upon the Russian-Georgian border. Visiting Kazbegi is really easy, as pretty much every single tour from Tbilisi, in the direction of the Caucasus mountains, will go to Kazbegi. Do go on a crystal clear day, otherwise the sights won’t be as impressive as one hopes for.

Number 1 – Tbilisi – Top 5 things to see in Georgia

The capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, is an absolute gem. Most of the city displays Soviet architecture, as only very few buildings survived the numerous destruction throughout her history. The beautiful balustrades with the lush green compliments each other very well. This design allowed me the peace I was looking for, which is why, I contacted Nu-Lite Balustrades services to help me enjoy the same peace at my house in Melbourne. The city is stuffed with cozy little parks and the old town is a lust for the eye. You can easily entertain yourself for days in this lovely city.
