The Tbilisi City Guides answer the questions every first-time visitor has: which khinkali places locals queue for, how to reach Narikala without the steep climb, where natural wine is poured by the glass and how to see Mtskheta or Kakheti in a day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Shavi Lomi
Zurab Kvlividze St, Sololaki
Georgian classics cooked with a lighter, newer hand and served in a courtyard with a veranda. Order the slow-cooked beef, the adjaruli and the beetroot pkhali, and take a table outside on a warm evening. From the food guide.
Chacha Corner
Lortkifanidze St, Sololaki
A shop-bar barely bigger than its shelves, lined with bottles of chacha, the Georgian grape spirit. The owner pours small tasting shots, from fruity versions up to an oak-aged one strong enough to set alight on the counter. From the nightlife guide.
Uplistsikhe
Near Gori, minibus plus taxi
A town carved out of sandstone and lived in from the Iron Age until the Mongol invasion. Follow its old lanes up to the small church at the top, and wear proper shoes: the rock turns slippery when wet. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Tbilisi
Day one: explore the Old Town with the things to do guide, ride the cable car up to Narikala, walk down through the Botanical Garden to the sulphur baths, take a long Georgian lunch from the food guide and finish in a Sololaki wine cellar from the nightlife guide. Day two: catch a minibus from the day trips guide to Mtskheta or the Kakheti wine country and come back for late khinkali. For a rainy or slow day, pick museums and indoor ideas from the family and budget guides, plus a bakery and a coffee from the food guide.
