Looking for the best things to do in Tbilisi in one day? Whether you’re stopping over before exploring the mountains or just arrived in Georgia’s vibrant capital, Tbilisi offers a rich blend of culture, history, and charm — all within walking distance from Bellevue Boutique Hotel, one of the most charming boutique hotels in Tbilisi.
This one-day itinerary is designed for first-time visitors staying in or near Sololaki, the historic heart of Tbilisi.
Morning: From Rustaveli Avenue to Dry Bridge
Start your day on Rustaveli Avenue, just a short ride from Bellevue. This elegant boulevard is lined with architectural landmarks like the former Parliament building and the Georgian National Opera House. Don’t miss the quirky public sculptures — including the iconic giant bicycle that reminds you to balance your khachapuri with cardio.
From Rustaveli, head to the Dry Bridge Market — Tbilisi’s famous open-air flea market. Here you’ll find Soviet-era antiques, vintage jewelry, hand-painted canvases, and quirky souvenirs. It’s one of the best local experiences in Tbilisi.
Late Morning: Puppet Theater & the Clock Tower
Make your way to Shavteli Street and admire the whimsical Gabriadze Clock Tower, a must-see in Tbilisi. At noon, tiny figurines perform a charming mechanical play called the “Cycle of Life.” Just next door, the Rezo Gabriadze Puppet Theater hosts world-renowned performances — book in advance if you’re staying longer.
Midday: The Bridge of Peace & Rike Park
Cross the stunning Bridge of Peace, a modern glass-and-steel footbridge that connects the old and new sides of the city. Locals still argue about its bold design, but there’s no denying its iconic status — especially at night when it glows with thousands of lights.
Relax in Rike Park, a green space with fountains, art installations, and cable car access to the Sololaki ridge.
Afternoon: Ride the Cable Car to Narikala Fortress
Take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress — one of the best viewpoints in Tbilisi. The short ride offers panoramic views of the Old Town and leads directly to several major attractions:
- The Mother of Georgia statue (Kartlis Deda)
- The Botanical Garden of Tbilisi
- And the ancient Narikala citadel
Entry to most of these sites is free or very affordable. Walking back down through the Abanotubani district gives you a perfect view of the famous domed sulfur baths.
Early Evening: Soak in the Sulfur Baths
A visit to Tbilisi isn’t complete without experiencing the Orbeliani Baths, also known as the “Colorful Bathhouse.” These historic sulfur bathhouses are located just 15 minutes by foot from Bellevue Boutique Hotel Tbilisi.
Treat yourself to a private bath session with a traditional body scrub (mekise) — the perfect way to unwind after a long walk.
Sunset Stroll in Sololaki
From the bath district, take your time wandering through Sololaki, one of Tbilisi’s oldest neighborhoods. Known for its narrow streets, colorful balconies, and secret courtyards, it’s also home to Bellevue Boutique Hotel — ideally located for travelers looking for authentic charm and walkable access to the city’s top sites.
Locals sip tea on porches, cats lounge in sunbeams, and the scent of fresh puri bread drifts from basement bakeries.
Dinner and Rooftop Drinks at Bellevue
End your day just steps from Freedom Square with a relaxed and memorable evening at Bellevue Boutique Hotel. Our on-site restaurant invites you to enjoy modern Georgian cuisine with an international touch, using local ingredients and seasonal flavors.
After dinner, head up to our rooftop terrace bar — a hidden gem in the heart of Tbilisi. Sip a glass of homemade wine while watching the city lights flicker over Sololaki and the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Whether you’re winding down after a day of sightseeing or starting your night out in Tbilisi, the Bellevue terrace is the perfect setting.
