Hello and welcome to this UCPlaces tour of Tbilisi Georgia, the vibrant capital where history, culture, and modernity blend seamlessly. My name is Dave, and it will be my pleasure being your co-pilot today.
We begin our walking tour at Rustaveli Avenue, the city's grand boulevard, near the magnificent Tbilisi Opera House, a symbol of 19th-century elegance. From here, we'll make our way through the lively streets, crossing the scenic Kura River with its stunning views of old and new Tbilisi. As we stroll back across the bridge, the city's ancient heart beckons, where we'll explore the iconic Sulphur baths that have soothed travelers for centuries. Our journey concludes at Liberty Square, a bustling hub steeped in the spirit of freedom and independence, offering a perfect reflection of Tbilisi's rich heritage.
Our tour today runs roughly 2 and half miles, so I hope you brought your comfortable walking shoes. If you don’t feel like going the distance, you can always explore selected portions of the tour. Follow your GPS, and we will begin shortly.
Our location here on Rustaveli is a good place to start, as we are near many hotels, as well as public transportation stops.
Everyone ready? And, here, we, go…
