About Tiflis
Tiflis (Tbilisi) is one of the most exciting discoveries for European travelers — a city where millennia-old history meets an exploding creative scene. The old town, with its colorful wooden balconies, sulfur baths, and the Nariqala Fortress, looks like something out of a fairy tale, while modern Tbilisi surprises with design hotels, natural wine bars, and one of the most dynamic club scenes in Eastern Europe. The sulfur baths in the Abanotubani district, under Persian-style brick domes, have been the heart of the city for centuries. Alexander Pushkin already raved about them. The Nariqala Fortress, accessible by cable car, offers the best view over the old town, the Kura River, and the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Georgia's legendary cuisine and wine culture make Tiflis a paradise for food lovers: Khachapuri (cheese bread), Khinkali (dumplings), and Chacha (grape brandy) at unbeatable prices. The 8,000-year-old wine tradition in Qvevri clay vessels is a UNESCO World Heritage site. From Germany, you can fly directly to Tiflis in just 4 hours — and discover a world that is both European and Oriental.
