The 5-day plan, rearranged for 2 days: the best-ranked places stay, and each day keeps to one part of town.
From average weather, 2021 to 2025: days that are warm but not hot, with few rainy days, score highest. Crowds and prices change through the year, so check them before you book.
How much walking? On foot, about 1.1 to 2.0 kilometers a day, and 194.2 kilometers by car in all across 2 days. Distances are straight-line estimates, so allow extra for the streets.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
One of the oldest churches in the city still standing, with a plain stone nave and a core that dates from the sixth century. It takes its name from an icon brought here in the seventeenth century. A calm start to the day.
Go when Morning, when it is quiet and the light comes in low.
Local tip A small, plain church that is easy to miss. Look for the old stone and the candles, and cover your shoulders and knees.
The national museum of history, with archaeology from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, and gold work that shows how old the craft is here. Allow two hours, and use it as a cool, indoor start.
Go when Morning, when it is cool and quiet.
Local tip Choose the archaeology and the gold, and skip the rest if you are tired. Check ahead on which halls are open.
A thick stew of red beans with onions and herbs, with a round of cornbread and pickles.
Local tip Lobio comes in a clay pot, often with cheese. A simple meal that locals eat on weekdays.
A cathedral on the site of a much older church, rebuilt many times after wars and earthquakes. Inside, candles and icons, with people who come in daily to pray. Dress modestly, and stay quiet during services.
Go when Late morning, outside the hours of services.
Local tip It is a working church, so people come in to pray all day. Stand back during a service, and do not photograph worshippers.
The old walls on the ridge above the town, with views over roofs, domes and the river. You can climb on foot by a path from the baths, or take a cable car from the park by the river. The path is steep and rough in places.
Go when Late afternoon, for the view and the light (about 8:12 PM).
Local tip The path from the bath district is steep and rough, and the cable car from the park saves your legs. The walls are old and uneven, so take care at the edges.
The bath district, where natural sulfur springs rise under low brick domes. Legend says a king found the hot springs while hunting and founded the city on the spot. Book a private room or choose a public bath, and ask your host which is open.
Go when Evening, when the day has cooled.
Local tip Choose a private room for a soak, and ask the staff how long to stay. The sulfur smell is natural. If you have a heart or blood pressure problem, ask your doctor first.
Walnut and herb pastes, spinach and beetroot balls, grilled aubergine with walnut sauce and warm bread.
Local tip Order a few dishes to share, and pair them with a glass of amber wine, made in clay jars.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
A walled hilltop town of pastel houses and red roofs, with long ramparts and a view across the Alazani valley to the high Caucasus on a clear day. Walk the walls and the quiet lanes before the day trippers arrive.
Go when Morning, before the tour buses.
Local tip Walk a stretch of the ramparts and look across to the mountains. The cobbles are steep, so wear shoes with grip.
A small stone church of the sixth century on a hill where two rivers meet, with a view of the old capital below. Its plain shape is one of the models for later churches. Go early for the light and the quiet.
Go when Morning, for the quiet and the light.
Local tip The church is small, so go early. The view of the two rivers from the terrace is the highlight. A taxi from town is the easiest way up.
Fried chicken in a creamy sauce of milk, garlic and herbs, served in a clay dish with bread.
Local tip The sauce is rich, so share the dish and use bread to finish it.
A great cathedral of the eleventh century in the heart of the old capital, where kings were crowned and buried. The town around it is a World Heritage site. Cover your shoulders and knees, and stay quiet during services.
Go when Midday, outside the hours of services.
Local tip Look at the carved stone outside and the painted walls inside. Cover your shoulders and knees, and do not photograph worshippers.
