Why go
This compact city route moves from street-level history to a garden above the old quarter. Walk from Old Tbilisi through Abanotubani Sulfur Baths and Metekhi Church, then climb toward Narikala Fortress; use National Botanical Garden of Georgia as the optional green finish. Check road conditions, opening information, and daylight before departure. For Tbilisi Old Town and Hills, protect the first four anchors and drop National Botanical Garden of Georgia when transfers take longer than expected today.
