Things to do in Tbilisi, Georgia: The Best Specialty Museums
Tbilisi (English: /təbɪˈliːsi, təˈbɪlɪsi/ tə-bih-LEE-see, tə-BIL-ih-see; Georgian: თბილისი [tʰbilisi] ( listen)), in some countries also still named by its pre-1936 international designation Tiflis (/ˈtɪflɪs/ TIF-liss), is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of approximately 1.5 million people. Founded in the 5th century AD by Vakhtang I of Iberia, since then Tbilisi served as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Between 1801 and 1917, then part of the Russian Empire, Tbilisi was the seat of the Imperial Viceroy, governing both Southern and Northern Caucasus.

LOCATION: The establishment is located in one of the side streets, and depending on where you approach from, it might be a bit of a climb. This can be slightly more challenging if you have a stroller with you (as was the case with me) VENUE: A reasonably sized place, divided between two floors. Be warned that accessing the upper area is by stairs, so it is very difficult to take a wheelchair / stroller upstairs. The place is not too spacious, but has enough to entertain you for a couple of hours. ACTIVITIES: There are many activities and illusions that one can partake. One of the better activity is the Vortex Tunnel, guaranteed to put a spin on things. There are a lot of interactive puzzles that you can participate in. Some of the miniature sized puzzles can also be bought at the reception area. PRICE: For the experience, the place is quite reasonable priced. OVERALL: Definitely worth spending a few hours to relax and challenge your mind.

4. Open Air Museum of Ethnography

Reviewed By 890dalias - Eilat, Israel
The name Museum of Ethnography is misleading. The area contains typical houses from different parts of Georgia, but very little in terms of utensils and clothing. However, the Georgian countryside contains very little remains of past housing and this is the only place where you can see how people used to live not so long ago. The walk in the park is very pleasant and each house has a guide who can answer in English questions you may have. Less than an hour walk along the road will bring you to Turtle Lake, which has many cafes and restaurants at a beautiful setting, swimming and boating. Combine the two on your visit. No problem getting a cab to take you there from the city.
