⛪ Churches, Wine & Day Trips
Many travellers soak in the sulphur baths, cross the Bridge of Peace or climb to Narikala for wide views. In Orthodox churches, women are usually asked to cover their heads, and everyone should cover arms and legs. Day trips often head to Mtskheta, a UNESCO-listed former capital, or the wine region of Kakheti.
💡 Pro tip: Dinners can turn into a supra, a feast led by a toastmaster. If you are invited, pace yourself, as wine and chacha tend to flow freely.
