# One day in Tbilisi: an itinerary in the best order

> One day in Tbilisi is enough for the old town and both banks of the river. The morning starts at Sameba Cathedral on Elia Hill, then the glass Bridge of Peace and Rike Park. Around midday — the domed sulphur baths of Abanotubani and Narikala Fortress above the city. After lunch — the flea market on the Dry Bridge and Rustaveli Avenue. Walks between stops take 3–14 minutes.

## What to see in Tbilisi in one day

We take the places with the highest YesGo score and put them in the order with the least walking. The morning is on the left bank, the middle of the day in the old town under Narikala, the end of the day in the centre around Rustaveli Avenue.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.

## How to visit the sulphur baths

You rent a private room for an hour or an hour and a half — about 50–250 GEL depending on the bathhouse and the room. Many baths stay open until midnight or later, some around the clock. If you do not want a bath, walking between the domes is free.

## Where to have lunch

Lunch in the plan comes after the baths, in the old town around Meidan Square and the lanes near Abanotubani.

## What to do in the evening

Go back to the Bridge of Peace when it is lit up, or ride up to [Mtatsminda](https://yesgo.io/georgia/tbilisi/mtatsminda-park), the park on the mountain above the city. The Rike–Narikala cable car runs until 22:00 in winter and until midnight in summer.

## Is one day in Tbilisi enough?

For the old town — yes. With a second day add Mtatsminda and the [Open Air Museum of Ethnography](https://yesgo.io/georgia/tbilisi/tbilisi-ethnographic-museum) (closed on Mondays) — that is the 2-day itinerary. The [Chronicle of Georgia](https://yesgo.io/georgia/tbilisi/chronicle-of-georgia), 16 columns 30–35 metres high above the Tbilisi Sea, is a short drive out.

## Tips

- Women need a headscarf and a skirt in churches; wraps are often lent at the door.
- The cable car to Narikala starts at 10:00 and costs 2.5 GEL.
- At the Dry Bridge market people haggle and pay cash.
- Georgia uses the lari (GEL). Cards work in most cafés and shops; keep cash for markets and minibuses.
- In summer climb to Narikala in the morning or evening: the slope has little shade.
