Abanotubani sulphur baths
Book a private room in the evening; a scrub with a kisi mitt is worth adding, and you'll leave very relaxed.

Old Tbilisi
The historic core around Abanotubani, Meidan Square, Shardeni Street and Kote Afkhazi Street holds the domed sulphur baths, Sioni Cathedral, Anchiskhati Basilica and the Narikala cable car. Hotels range from guesthouses in old houses with carved balconies to boutique hotels, and restaurants and wine bars fill the lanes. It is the most atmospheric and convenient base for first visits.
