Georgia is an extremely beautiful country with a distinctive culture and customs. This state has a very interesting and exciting history. Georgia already existed when there was no Moscow, no Russia, or even Kievan Rus. And, undoubtedly, there is something to see in this country.

Old town, Tbilisi

The old city of Tbilisi is a district of the Georgian capital. It was within this territory that Tbilisi existed in the XII century. In this part of the city there is an Anchiskhati temple, Narikala fortress, Sioni cathedral, a mosque and several Armenian churches. You can see all this beauty using the cable car.

Mount Kazbek, Stepantsminda

To climb this extinct volcano, you have two paths: through the territory of Russia or through Georgia. There are many interesting legends about Kazbek. At an altitude of 2,170 meters, there is the Trinity Church, which often appears in Kazbek's photographs.

Batumi Botanical Garden

The botanical garden is a decoration of any country. Especially if it is on the seashore. As, for example, in Georgia, and more specifically in Batumi. This is one of the largest botanical gardens in the world. It is located on 113 hectares.

Tusheti National Park

Another Georgian park with a huge territory occupies almost the entire geographical region of Tusheti. It was here that the famous film "Mimino" was filmed. By the way, there is a monument to the heroes of this film in Tbilisi. They also want to include this park in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Bridge of Peace, Tbilisi

The locals don't like this bridge very much. Yes, perhaps it would look much more harmonious in a separate area, and not in the Old City. But this does not negate its beauty. The Bridge of Peace looks really cool and unusual.

Stalin Museum

You can treat this ruler of the USSR in different ways, but it is difficult to deny that he was an interesting person. One of the museums dedicated to Stalin is located in the city of Gori, where he was born. Most of the visitors complain about the guides who work there. Therefore, we advise you to read information about the museum and its exposition on the Internet and then go to the house-museum.

Bagrat temple, Kutaisi

This beautiful temple was built over a thousand years ago, during the reign of the Georgian king Bagrat III. The temple was badly damaged in 1691 during an attack by the Turks. In 2012, by order of Saakashvili, the temple was recreated. Also in Kutaisi there is the Gelati Monastery and the Motsameta Monastery.

Prometheus cave

Prometheus Cave, or Kumistavi Cave, is an 11-kilometer karst cave located near the Georgian city of Tskhaltubo. It was discovered in 1983, and in 2011, 1,060 meters of this cave were opened to visitors.

Embankment of Batumi

The Batumi embankment is the tourist center of this wonderful city. Huge funds and efforts have been invested in the renovation of this city and specifically this embankment. The result of these efforts is best seen in the evening: this is the best time to walk along the waterfront of any tourist city.

This list could go on forever. Many wineries, fortresses, parks and churches are not mentioned. Everyone will find their favorite attraction in Georgia.
