# 2 days in Tbilisi: a day-by-day itinerary

> Two days in Tbilisi give you the old town and the city from above. Day one: Sameba Cathedral, the Bridge of Peace and Rike Park, the Abanotubani sulphur baths, Narikala Fortress, the Dry Bridge market and Rustaveli Avenue. Day two: Mtatsminda, the 'Holy Mountain' with a park at 770 m reached by a funicular from 1905, and the Open Air Museum of Ethnography — about 70 old houses, wine cellars and towers brought from all over Georgia.

## How to spend 2 days in Tbilisi

Day one is the old town and both banks of the river, as in the one-day itinerary. Day two goes up into the hills: Mtatsminda in the morning, the open-air museum by Turtle Lake after lunch — about 25 minutes by taxi between them.

Want the sunset on Mtatsminda? Swap them: the museum at opening time, the park an hour and a half before sunset.

## How to get up Mtatsminda

The 1905 funicular leaves from Daniel Chonkadze Street every 20 minutes and takes 3 minutes. The cable car from Rustaveli Avenue runs daily 11:00–22:30. A good combination is up by cable car, down by funicular — you come out in Sololaki. Bus 364 from Rustaveli also goes up.

It is windy and a few degrees cooler at the top — bring a jumper even in summer.

## How to get to the Open Air Museum of Ethnography

By taxi or Bolt from Meidan Square in 15–20 minutes, or by the cable car from Vake Park to Turtle Lake and then on foot. The slope has almost no shade — in summer go in the morning.

## Is 2 days in Tbilisi enough?

For the city itself, yes. With a third day go to Mtskheta, the old capital half an hour away — it has its own one-day route — or to the [Chronicle of Georgia](https://yesgo.io/georgia/tbilisi/chronicle-of-georgia), 16 columns above the Tbilisi Sea, open at any time and free.

## Tips

- The open-air museum is closed on Mondays and public holidays.
- One Mtatsminda park card can pay for several people.
- Skip the Ferris wheel if you are not after rides: the viewpoints give almost the same view for free.
- Georgia uses the lari (GEL). Cards work in most cafés and shops; keep cash for markets and minibuses.
- Women need a headscarf and a skirt at Sameba.
