🏰 Old Town & Narikala Fortress
Old Town, Tbilisi

07 / 13
♨ Abanotubani Sulphur Baths
Old Town, Tbilisi
leisure
1.5 hours
🕒 09:00–23:00
The domed brick bathhouses in the gorge below Narikala, fed by naturally hot sulphur springs — soak in a private room (Pushkin and Dumas both did), with an optional exfoliating kisa scrub and massage. Pure Tbilisi.

🛬
Airport → your hotel
Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) is about 17 km from the city centre. Bus 337 runs to Freedom Square and the railway station via Rustaveli Avenue for just 1 GEL (roughly hourly, 7am–11pm). A Bolt ride to the centre is about 15–25 GEL (best value); official/metered taxis are 40–80 GEL — book Bolt in the app. Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
Carriers: Magti, Silknet, Cellfie — cheap SIMs at the airport; or an eSIM (Airalo).
🌤
Best time to visit
May–June and September–October have the best weather — warm days, cool evenings and the wine harvest in autumn. Summer is hot in the city; winter is cold but the nearby mountains turn into ski country.
🚇
Getting around
The Old Town is walkable (and hilly); a cheap metro, marshrutka minibuses and Bolt taxis cover the rest — get a MetroMoney card. Mountain day trips (Kazbegi) are best by tour or hired driver. Tap a <strong>Metromoney</strong> card for the metro, buses and cable cars — a flat ~1 GEL per ride with free 90-minute transfers — so fares are tiny and no day pass is needed.
🚌
Hop-on-hop-off buses
<strong>City Sightseeing Tbilisi</strong> runs an open-top hop-on-hop-off loop past the Old Town, Rustaveli Avenue, Holy Trinity Cathedral and Narikala Fortress (~₾25, 1-day) — a handy way around a hilly, spread-out city.
💵
Cash & tipping
Carry Georgian lari for small cafés, markets and marshrutkas; cards work in most restaurants and hotels. Tipping ~10% is appreciated. Georgia is famously affordable and hospitable.
🛂
Visa for Indians
Indian passport holders are visa-free if they hold a valid Schengen, US, UK or Japan visa/residence; otherwise apply for a Georgian e-Visa online. Travel insurance with min GEL 30,000 cover is mandatory from 2026.
♨
Try the sulphur baths
Tbilisi means "warm place" — soak in a private room at the domed Abanotubani sulphur baths, optionally with a vigorous kisa scrub. Book a private room; it's the city's signature experience.
🍷
Food & wine
Khachapuri (cheese bread), khinkali (soup dumplings — bite, sip, don't use a fork), badrijani (walnut-stuffed aubergine) and 8,000 years of qvevri winemaking. A Georgian supra (feast) is unmissable.
⛰
Mountains & monasteries
Mtskheta (the old capital, ~30 min) is an easy half-day; Kazbegi's Gergeti Trinity Church under a Caucasus glacier (~3 hrs) is a stunning full day along the Georgian Military Highway.
