Tbilisi: 12 unforgettable experiences
"Tbilisi loves you" is the title of the free Wi-Fi in the centre of the Georgian capital immediately disclose all the cards. Walking around the city, you feel that love every second: when I try and velvety Saperavi, watch incendiary folk dances, ascend by cable car to the fortress Narikala and sheepishly accept the invitation to visit from new friends. Tell where to go and what to do in Tbilisi, to fall in response.
Take a stroll along Rustaveli Avenue
On the main Avenue of Tbilisi every building I want to consider from all sides. Admire the stretched arches of the old Palace of the Parliament and corrugated facade of the theater of Opera and ballet. And rate the artsy decor of the house of Asurance with concrete garlands, Windows in the form of tears and Bay Windows decorated with figures of people.
Walk along the tree-lined Rustaveli Avenue under the protection of the mighty plane trees khaki is so nice that you can easily spend more than an hour. Then cool to dive into the maze of neighboring streets and look into the bakery. Peeped the pumps from the test mold on the inner walls of the clay oven-the tone. Just 1-2 gel you will get a fragrant, hot and thick pita bread. Piping hot it is especially tasty, so it is better to eat it in the first half hour.
Ice cream, products on Leselidze
From Liberty Square, go to the street, Kote abkhazi, the former Leselidze. On this quiet side street is to have a Cup of coffee. And another friend is good to stock up on Souvenirs and wine horns, dolls in national costumes and churchkhela, which in the local shops delicious grapes hanging directly from the ceiling.
Poglazeyte on the city from the Narikala fortress
Leselidze street will take you to Independence. In this area a handful of the most popular and expensive cafes and restaurants. Here you can see the river Mtkvari, which we call on-simple-Cure. Above the river stands the great fortress of Narikala: failed to assault anyone in its history. Those who go with the world, unable to climb down the cable car for 1 gel. Hop on the funicular and enjoy the views of Tbilisi, at 360 degrees: some cabins even the floor is transparent. By the way, sulphur baths where great to relax after a walk, from the observation deck of Narikala also seen.
Pamper yourself at sulfur baths
Thanks to the hot springs of Tbilisi got its name: in Georgian "tbili" means "warm". According to legend, one day the Georgian king Vakhtang Gorgasali went on falconry. To his misfortune the way he moved the pheasant — the Royal Falcon rushed at prey, and both birds disappeared from sight. It turned out, during the fight, the pheasant fell into a hot spring and boiled, and Falcon stayed near him, waiting for the owner. Whereupon the king ordered to build around the baths, from which has grown the quarter, and then the whole city.
Earlier in the baths people not only bathed, but also exchanged news, and cultural rest after work — as in the club. Today bath quarter Abanotubani (from the word "Abano" bath and "str" — district) has stood apart as a separate attraction. Here it is accepted to come: remove a bath at all, take wine or "Borjomi" and imagine that you are in the Spa of the XVIII century.
Be sure to order the harsh Georgian massage. The attendant will tear off with three skins, several times over, then hot, then cold water, but after all the executions will feel ten years younger.
Take a look behind the waterfall in the Botanical garden
Tbilisi Botanical garden is a perfect place for long walks in the fresh air surrounded by exotic plants. Get comfortable: main entrance — right at the foot of the mountain to the fortress Narikala.
Along the cozy lanes are growing cypresses, firs and cedars, and in the summer there is the heady smell of warmed pine needles and Jasmine. The garden stretches as much as 128 acres and sheltered 3 500 species of plants, so that to walk around it for very long. Grab a pita bread with Suluguni, to have something to eat in the shade of the gazebo.
Across the river in the Tbilisi Botanical garden with bridges, under one of which flowing waterfall with a height of 42 meters. Technically it is impossible to swim here, but during the summer children and adults do not pull out.
Go up to the mountain Mtatsminda
On the right Bank of the Kura above the town rises the majestic Mtatsminda. The mountain leads the centennial monorail, cable car 500 metres long. When you go on top of the station, will be at an altitude of 727 meters above sea level. And if I go into the intermediate station to the Pantheon, will be able to visit the grave of Griboyedov.
On top of Mtatsminda features a restaurant and amusement Park. Don't miss the famous Ferris wheel at the edge of the mountain in just a few lari will receive a daily dose of adrenaline.
Try hachapuri in Adjara
Georgians love to eat and feed their guests as if the stomachs of all bottomless. It is difficult to imagine the Georgian-vegetarian, because the basis of the national cuisine are the "three pillars" — pork, lamb and chicken. Apparently, the kebab in Tbilisi are preparing those who can't sing, he always turns out soft and juicy. Tomatoes and cucumbers that are served with meat, still the morning wore on the branches.
Better say goodbye to your diet-not to give up on khachapuri, just cooked in the oven. To choose is not easy: with Suluguni cheese Imeretian, Megrelian, with a double layer of cheese, Adjara in the form of boats with egg and Padovani in the form of an envelope of puff pastry compete for the number of fans.
Else you will taste real khinkali: gently bite "dumpling" on the edge and drink the flavorful broth. Do not try to deal with them fork and knife -- only this time, hands. Strong and hardy, the Georgians eat twenty in one sitting. And you can?
From drinks in Tbilisi is usually served homemade wine in big jugs and soft drinks. Order your home, bedroom, or oranges, or a factory — the Duchess, barberry, lemon and cream soda.
Enjoy the subtle humor in the puppet theatre
Tiny marionette theater is located in Tbilisi Old town, and even the building with a small tower looks fabulous. Established theatre Director, screenwriter and writer Rezo Gabriadze in 1981. In the program all four performances -- good, funny and touching to tears. Performances are in Georgian or Russian languages with English subtitles. The ticket should take care in advance — room is very small, and always wanting more.
Georgian prescribed flea market on the Dry bridge dry because the bridge spans the highway, not across the river. Permanent inhabitants of the market — professional traders or just poor people who brought old things from home to make a little money.
Here you will find anything from rare records of The Beatles to the Soviet electric toothbrushes. Come take a look, as the sellers are playing backgammon on emotions, bearded old men effectively smoke near their "points" and curious tourists swarmed in treasure. It is always interesting to talk to local life here and the restructuring will remember, and the modern girl with a fashion sentence. The hand itself will be pulled to the recorder to gather material for a book.
Look in the Armenian quarter of Avlabari
The Avlabari district known since 1398. Even then, the Armenian Diaspora felt in the Georgian capital home. Today it is interesting to wander through the streets, which are rooted in an old house once luxury wooden balconies. The yards are cozy gazebos, where the older generation gathers for a game of dominoes.
A dilapidated Armenian Church contrasts with the modern Orthodox Church of tsminda Sameba and the brand-new presidential Palace. And next to the metro station "Avlabari" monument to the heroes of the immortal paintings Danelia: very similar to himself Mimino, Rubik with two tires, a good-natured Volokhov performed by Evgeny Leonov and some too small compared to them Danelia.
Take a ride hitchhiking
The accessible public transport in Georgia — bus. Crowded, old and battered, they go everywhere. But move them on the serpentine roads. Adventurers and romantics much more suited hitchhiking. With the lifts in Georgia there is no problem even at night.
For short trips from Tbilisi choose the direction in Mtskheta and sit in the first stopped car. The drivers are smart and sociable, love to ask fellow travelers about their homeland and rejoice when newcomers praise Georgia. Often time the road could get a dozen useful tips, and even exchange phone numbers. To pay for something that you brought up, it is not necessary: the Georgians will be offended. Better to give a small souvenir from their country to memory.
Stay in the Georgian house
If in Georgia, you are invited to visit, do not give up. After all, you can enjoy a true Georgian feast, and the best way to discover the country just yet. You will see how the life of local people are warm to each other in large families and get a feel for why Georgian nation is so famous hospitality.
Wander the streets, see the sights, lunch in national restaurants and buy Souvenirs — all that is required to do any decent tourist. But a seasoned traveler knows that the most important thing in the country is her people, and Georgia is directly related.published
