描述

Discover the ancient capital of Georgia, Mtskheta, and the cave city of Uplistsikhe on a day trip from Tbilisi. Visit the Stalin Museum and the ancient Gori Fortress in the city of Gori.
Explore the heart of Georgia on this unforgettable day trip to Gori, Mtskheta, and the ancient Uplistsikhe Cave City. This tour offers a rich blend of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes—all within a day’s journey from Tbilisi.

Start your journey in Mtskheta, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the spiritual heart of Georgia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to some of the country’s most revered religious landmarks.

Visit the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a masterpiece of Georgian architecture and the burial site of Christ’s robe, according to legend. Next, visit the Jvari Monastery, perched on a hilltop overlooking the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers, offering stunning panoramic views and a deep sense of serenity.

Next, visit Gori, a city most famous as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, the former Soviet leader. Here you will explore the Stalin Museum, featuring his personal belongings, photographs, and even his bulletproof train carriage.

Visit the Gori Fortress, an ancient citadel overlooking the city, dating back to the 7th century. It offers a great vantage point and insight into the region’s strategic importance. Gori provides a mix of Soviet-era nostalgia and medieval Georgian heritage.

The highlight of the tour is Uplistsikhe, an extraordinary rock-hewn cave city that dates back to the early Iron Age (1st millennium BC). Once a major political and religious center, Uplistsikhe features cave dwellings and halls carved into the soft rock, pagan temples and Christian churches, ancient wine cellars (marani), tunnels, and granaries, and breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and river.

Walking through Uplistsikhe is like stepping back in time—it's an open-air museum of Georgia’s pre-Christian and early Christian periods.
