Shota Rustaveli Avenue is the heart of Tbilisi. It’s a lively boulevard filled with elegant 19th- and early-20th-century architecture, cozy cafés, theaters, and charming balconies. You’ll see the statue of Shota Rustaveli, Georgia’s most beloved poet, standing proudly near Rustaveli Metro Station.
the Vasil Gabashvili House is one of Tbilisi’s most beautiful historic buildings. This charming 19th-century home is full of character — with colorful wooden balconies, delicate carvings, and soft shades of blue. It perfectly captures the warm, nostalgic feeling of old Tbilisi.
The Tbilisi Art Academy is a place where tradition meets creativity. Once a Persian-style palace, the building itself is a masterpiece — with intricate details, colorful mosaics, and elegant arches. Today, it’s home to Georgia’s most talented young artists, carrying the spirit of the past into modern creativity.
Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theater is a stunning neoclassical landmark with elegant columns, ornate details, and a truly grand presence. Known as a symbol of Georgia’s cultural pride, this European-style building has hosted generations of performances and continues to be at the heart of the city’s artistic life.
We’ll finish our walk at a beautifully designed modern library, where architecture and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony. It’s a serene, inspiring space that reflects Tbilisi’s evolving urban story, showing how the city honors its past while embracing the future.

My Tbilisi tour with her was absolutely amazing! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and unforgettable💗truly one of the best guide I’ve ever had – highly recommended!🔝🔝🔝🔝
We did Marina’s architectural tour in Tbilisi, and it honestly blew us away. This isn’t a typical tour at all — Marina created the route herself, and it takes you through different parts of the city to show unique, creative, and often overlooked buildings. She explains everything so simply and passionately that even someone who isn’t an architecture expert will enjoy it. We discovered places we’d never have found on our own and saw a completely different side of Tbilisi.
