Off the map — How to get lost in Tbilisi

"The most ideal approach to see Tbilisi is to walk," Irakli, the proprietor of a comfortable B&B in Old Tbilisi, shared this tip on our first day in the city, while giving us a guide and totally expelling the utilization of open transportation.

Tbilisi — the capital of Georgia — is an uneven city, partitioned into two sections by the Mtkvari River. The nation is situated at the crossing point of Eastern Europe and West Asia. As a Pakistani now living in the UAE on an inhabitant visa, I was given a visa on landing to Georgia.

On a three-day visit in Tbilisi, we (my companion and I) were remaining on the left bank in Avlabari, a tranquil neighborhood of the Old Town, near the approaching Sameba Cathedral.
