The entire wealth of monuments and places of interest of Tbilisi are shared between the two parts of the city - the historical centre “ Old Town ” and Rustaveli Avenue. It is there that the most interesting historical and architectural landmarks are concentrated.

Historical center "Old town"

The historical centre of Tbilisi "Old Town" is situated at the foot of Mount Mtatsminda.

Малопримечательное место, вокруг много машин и оживленное движение. Лучше посмотреть мимоходом и прочитать в интернете.
