Let's walk in Tbilisi

Some of the best European food and oldest wine, charming houses with courtyards, artsy and futuristic architecture, and countless corners that make you want to grab your camera. This is old Tbilisi. Influenced by Europe and Asia, Silk road and Empires still stands and welcomes its visitors. Tbilisi is one of the oldest capitals in the world. It existed as the capital of Iberia and is thus reported in ancient Georgian and foreign literature. The first settlement in Tbilisi originated in the 4th century, and in the middle of the 5th century, King Vakhtang Gorgasali of Kartli began building the city here. From the late 6th century through to the end of the 11th century, the city was conquered and sacked by a parade of invaders: Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, Khazars, and Seljuk Turks all fought for the beleaguered capitol.
