About this experience
Tbilisi grew up around the hot springs in the Abanotubani quarter, and the old city still reads that way: brick bath domes at the bottom of the valley, balconied houses stacked up the slope, and the Narikala fortress on the ridge above.
The route takes in Abanotubani and the Legvtakhevi waterfall, the Bridge of Peace over the Mtkvari, Sioni Cathedral and the Anchiskhati basilica, and the viewpoint under Narikala and the Kartlis Deda statue. It is a walking-heavy half day with the vehicle moving you between the clusters rather than driving the whole way.
