Go for a virtual picture tour and explore Tbilisi in Georgia. The suburbs of Tbilisi are characterised by the large concrete Soviet housing blocks. Closer to the city centre the neoclassicism buildings pop-up. The neoclassical architecture dates back to the 19th century and the Stalin period. The city centre of Tbilisi is a maze of narrow streets. The detailed oriental architecture is decorated with colourful mosaic, French style balconies and Victorian elements. The avenues are enclosed by majestic houses built in the 19th century. It feels like you are walking around in Paris. A slight difference is the mix of eastern architecture.
Georgia is situated in the southern Caucasus region. When the Soviet Union collapsed the country became independent in 1991. Geographically most of Georgia is located in Asia. Georgians consider their country to be European. The country joined the Council of Europe and they can participate in European events such as the European Football Championship and Eurovision song festival. The largest religion is Georgian Orthodox. Religion is an integral part of the Georgian culture. The popularity of religion in Georgia is expressed into the number of churches in Tbilisi.

Some of the landscape in particular looks so impressive, it’s a really beautiful city. I haven’t visited much of Eastern Europe, but I do really want to now
Hola Tom,
Tbilisi is a wonderful city to visit. You should visit Georgia when we are allowed to travel again.
Thank you for leaving a comment.

I love that Tiblisi has a good share of architecture and nature all around! It absolutely looks like a city to visit when we can go back to travel. Thanks for sharing Adriana xx
Hola,
The National Botanical gardens is uphill and right next to the city centre. Form here you have an amazing view of the city. The architecture is an unique mix of eastern and western architecture. Definitely worth a visit.
