The capital of Georgia is unique. It stands on several mountain hills, on which the ancient neighborhoods of the city “crawl” in tiers. Tbilisi is a beautiful river Kura with its picturesque rocky banks, flowing through the city.

Tbilisi was founded by the Georgian king Vakhtang Gorgasali in the V century AD. In the XII century Tbilisi became one of the important political, economic and cultural centers of the Caucasus and the Middle East. As the capital of one of the powerful countries in the Caucasus region, Tbilisi was the center of intersection of the main trade and cultural routes between east and west, south and north, the main direction of the “Great Silk Road”.
