Overview of your Tbilisi tour:

Although I am a Tbilisi resident, Mtskheta is the town where I would like to Live. Declared as "Holy city" the ancient capital of the Iberian kingdom, underwent renovation and is like an open air museum now. Most of it's cathedrals and churches are a UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Svetitskhoveli cathedral is burial place of the Christ's mantle, many important relics and members of Georgian royal family. City streets are full of small shops where you can find: traditional sweets, spices, souvenirs, jewelry, food, drinks and even wine ice cream. In about 60 km. from Mtskheta lies one of the oldest urban settlements in Georgia, called Uplistikhe or fortress of God. This place was inhabited from VI-IV century B. C. To explore it's caves, once wide streets, burial pits, temples, marketplace, halls curved in stone and secret tunnel you need to take a hike to the stone Basilica at the top. There is a small museum in the area but most significant artifacts where recently moved to the national museum in Tbilisi.
