Sobre Tbilisi
El rey Vakhtang Gorgasali fundó Tbilisi en el siglo V sobre las aguas termales que aún alimentan los baños de azufre abovedados del casco antiguo. Sube a la Fortaleza de Narikala para disfrutar de vistas panorámicas, recorre los callejones adoquinados y los ornamentados balcones de madera del Viejo Tbilisi, luego cruza el iluminado Puente de la Paz hacia la gran Avenida Rustaveli. Las noches traen khinkali, khachapuri y vino de una de las tradiciones más antiguas del mundo, a menudo acompañados de canto polifónico georgiano.
Cultura
Tbilisi pulsa con una energía artística que es a la vez ancestral y completamente moderna. El canto polifónico georgiano reconocido por la UNESCO resuena en las iglesias medievales mientras las galerías de arte contemporáneo muestran el renacimiento creativo del país. La legendaria tradición de hospitalidad de la ciudad, la «supra» (banquete georgiano), transforma cada comida en una celebración, donde los brindis se convierten en poesía y los extraños en familia. Desde el Festival Internacional de Cine de Tbilisi hasta íntimas bodegas escondidas bajo el casco antiguo, aquí la cultura no se observa simplemente, se vive, se respira y se comparte con un entusiasmo contagioso.
Consejos de viaje
Moneda: Lari georgiano (GEL); las tarjetas de crédito son ampliamente aceptadas en el centro, aunque el efectivo sigue siendo el rey en los mercados tradicionales y establecimientos familiares. Idioma: Aunque el alfabeto georgiano pueda parecer misterioso, el inglés se habla cada vez más en zonas turísticas, y los lugareños agradecen cualquier intento de aprender frases básicas en georgiano. Seguridad: Tbilisi se sitúa entre las capitales más seguras de Europa; los viajeros en solitario, incluidas las mujeres, se sienten seguros explorando de día y de noche. Transporte: El eficiente metro y los asequibles autobuses facilitan los desplazamientos, mientras que los taxis ofrecen tarifas razonables (acuerda siempre la tarifa de antemano o usa aplicaciones de transporte compartido).

There, five days take in shimmering Lake Sevan, vibrant Yerevan, the holy city of Etchmiadzin, the pagan temple of Garni, cliff-set Geghard and Noravank, and Khor Virap in the shadow of Mt Ararat.

Tbilisi City Explorer
Tbilisi rewards walking, and in one day you cover the parts that matter.

Georgian Culinary Masterclass
Spend a day learning Georgian food the way Georgians learn it: in the kitchen, with your hands. You start at the market choosing herbs and cheese, then work beside a local chef to knead khachapuri cheese bread and pleat khinkali dumplings until the folds come out right. When the cooking is done, you sit down to a proper supra, where a tamada raises the toasts and Georgian wine fills the glasses. You eat what you made and understand why it tastes the way it does. You leave with real recipes and the confidence to cook them at home.
