What to do and see in Tbilisi, Georgia: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

December 3, 2021 Alice Mieles

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.

It is not just a shop to visit. You will have the experience of spending time in a very nice and stylish space, communicating with people, trying different looks with the help of the stylist (they sometimes even have parties in the evening). They have clothes of very good quality and some crazy amazing accessories. Pay attention to the leather boots :)

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.

Monument of King Vakhtang Gorgasali

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Right on a cliff's edge at the courtyard of "Metekhi Church", an equestrian statue will catch your attention! This is "Vakhtang I Gorgasali", King of Kartli (Eastern Georgia) between the 5th and 6th centuries and Tbilisi's founder. According to legends, one day King Vakhtang was hunting in the forests of his country, when his falcon chased a pheasant that fell from his beak into a hot water spring. The King and his servants were quite surprised when they saw steam coming out of the spring in such abundance. Immediately after, the King gave orders to build a city in this site and named it "Tbilisi" - the "site of warm springs"! Amazing legends of medieval times ... King Vakhtang I Gorgasali has been credited with the foundation of Tbilisi and many other towns, castles and monasteries, Since the Middle Ages, he is one of the most popular figures of the Georgian history as a warrior, King and statesman. The "Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church" canonized him as "Saint Vakhtang Gorgasali, the holy and right-believing King of Georgia". His granite equestrian statue was inaugurated in 1967, by Georgian sculptor Elguja Amashukeli, and overlooks Tbilisi and its Mtkvari River. Bring your cameras, great pictures await you! Enjoy!

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.
