Luxury holidays in Tbilisi

Georgia's capital city Tbilisi is a vibrant intersection of Eurasian history and culture. Bold architecture ranges from ornate art nouveau and intricate basilicas to steely modernist structures, reflecting the city's complex history, which includes periods of rule by Persia and the Soviet Union. The remains of 4th-century Narikala Fortress looms above the city, Orthodox churches and cathedrals – including the Georgian Orthodox Sioni Cathedral and Anchiskhati Basilica – are scattered throughout, and the winding streets of old town are lined with traditional buildings, newly renovated dwellings and cafés. Stop for a refreshing mint lemonade in the Old Town before wandering across the Peace Bridge, a wavy pedestrians-only glass-and-steel structure, to flower-filled Rike Park. In the evening, hit up the city's buzzing bars and clubs, which have drawn parallels to Berlin's dynamic nightlife.
