Jvari Church
When visiting Georgia, Jvari Church is a must-see, and quite easy, too, considering it is half an hour from the capital Tbilisi. The setting is majestic, the views over Mtskheta, its rivers and mountains great.

Uplistsikhe
Ancient cave city in the heart of Georgia, Uplistsikhe is a surprisingly attractive place that gives the visitor an insight into how people lived in times long gone by.
|
Stalin Museum
While many people see Stalin as one of the worst dictators of the 20th century, the Stalin Museum in Gori gives a different picture.
|
Georgian People
While the country has many sights worth visiting, one of the interesting parts of a visit to Georgia are its people.
|
Atenis Sioni
A short drive from Gori is the ancient church of Atenis Sioni. Unfortunately under construction when I visited, the inside of this church is truly breathtaking.
|
Sveti-Tshkoveli Cathedral
The main attraction in Mtskheta, Sveti-Tshkoveli cathedral is visible from a distance. While the outside is great, I was most impressed by the interior of this famous Georgian cathedral.
|
Mtatsminda Zamemba
It takes an easy hike uphill from Kazbegi to reach the old Mtatsminda Zamemba, symbol of the Georgian Causasus and, indeed, of Georgia.
|
Davit Gareja
Hauntingly beautiful and surrounded by barren landscape, the Davit Gareja area consists of churches, monasteries, caves, and incredible panoramas, and is a memorable visit.
|
Ananuri
Right next to the Georgian Military Highway you can find the fortress and church of Ananuri, with a great view over the Zhinvali Reservoir.
|
Gudauri Skiing
High in the Kaukasus mountains, you can go skiing on the slopes of Gudauri or even go heli-skiing in the nearby mountain ranges.
|
Narikala Fortress
Impossible to miss, Narikala fortress sits high above the skyline of Tbilisi and has dominated the area since a long time.
|
Tbilisi streets
While there are several sights to see in Tbilisi, just walking around the old and historical city is certainly worth as well.
