14:30 Chronicles of History of Georgia
Duration: 45 minutes
Impressive monument Chronicles of Georgia, known as the Stonehenge of Tbilisi. This history Memorial of Georgia is one of the hidden pearls of Tbilisi. The monument chronicles Georgian history, and Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli created it. The top part of the 30-meter-tall columns features kings, queens, and heroes, and the bottom part depicts stories from the life of Christ.
15:30 Holy Trinity Cathedral - "Sameba"
Duration: 30 minutes
Our first stop is Holy Trinity Cathedral, locally known as "Sameba." The Cathedral construction was only completed in 2004, so it doesn't offer the same history as most other Tbilisi churches. But the Holy Trinity Cathedral is impressive in different ways. It's the third-largest Orthodox cathedral globally, with 97.5 meters only after Saint Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.
16:30 Mtatsminda Central Park
Duration: 1 hour
Mtatsminda Central Park captures the incredible scenery of full Tbilisi from the viewpoint. Mtatsminda Park remains a popular destination for travelers and locals looking for fun and leisure.
