Tbilisi, the capital city of the country of Georgia, can be a little intimidating at first. Tbilisi is a big, sprawling city with a mix of ancient sites, crumbling architecture, colors, both muted and vibrant, and new, modern structures that pop up amongst the old. The city is long, like a horn, as it is situated in a canyon. Most of the streets wind and curve, sometimes becoming alleys and occasionally even turning into flights of stairs. The main streets are wide and the flow of traffic is never-ending. Tbilisi has a palpable heartbeat and is buzzing with energy. But once you get acquainted with Tbilisi, it becomes easy and feels familiar, and there are so many things to see and do in Tbilisi to keep travelers occupied for days.
