Georgia's ancient and vibrant capital city spreads out on both banks of the Mtkvari River and is surrounded on three sides by mountains. Archaeological studies of the region indicate human settlement in the area early as the 4th millennium BC. The main sights of the city are clustered in the Old Tbilisi district. This area is well-known for its sulfur bathhouses fed by natural hot springs. Nearby on Shardeni Street, you will find plenty of modern, popular restaurants, open-air café-bars, trendy night clubs and art galleries.
