Two days in Tbilisi mean walking the cobbled streets, enjoying the warm water of the sulfur baths, watching the evening light on the fortress, and chatting over wine in the cellars. The plan below keeps an urban pace without rush and provides a clear logic for parking and moving around.
Car for the itinerary
In the center, a compact car/sedan is most convenient: maneuverable and easy to park. The logic is: morning and daytime — walking routes in the Old Town; car — for easy transfers to the hotel/airport and trips to viewpoints on the outskirts. Contact us — we’ll help you rent a car quickly.
Day 1. Old Town, baths, funicular, and sunsets
Morning: Rike → Cable Car → Narikala. Start with a stroll through Rike Park and take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress: from above, you can see the entire historic center and the ribbons of streets leading to Abanotubani. For the descent, walk along the viewpoints down to the sulfur baths.

Daytime: Abanotubani and baths. Choose a private room in one of the baths (Chreli Abano — “Blue Bath” with mosaics) and allow 1–1.5 hours for water and steam. Afterwards — a leisurely lunch by the river and a stroll through the courtyards and bridges.
Evening: Funicular to Mtatsminda. For sunset, take the funicular to the restaurant complex at the top. The terraces overlook the city, and the evening light is at its softest.
