Mtskheta – The Holy City
Often called the spiritual heart of Georgia, Mtskheta is one of the country’s oldest and most sacred towns. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s home to the awe-inspiring Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, believed to house the robe of Christ, and the hilltop Jvari Monastery, which offers breathtaking views over the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers. Every stone whispers centuries of history, faith, and royalty. Mtskheta’s peaceful streets, quaint souvenir shops, and riverside cafés offer a charming contrast to the grandeur of its holy landmarks.
Best Time to Visit: March to November – for pleasant weather and fewer crowds
Distance: Just 25 km from Tbilisi (30–40 minutes drive)
Travel Tips: Combine Mtskheta with a day trip to Uplistsikhe cave town or Gori Fortress for more historical depth
Culture & Food: Enjoy traditional Georgian meals at local taverns – try mtsvadi (grilled meat), lobio (bean stew), and fresh puri bread baked in clay ovens. Wine tasting in family-run cellars adds to the local charm and warmth.
