Temples & religious sites
Saint George's Church
Saint George's Church
Located in the Old Town of Tbilisi, this 13th-century Armenian church is one of the few remaining sites in the city where mass is still held. Visitors go here to see the medieval architecture and experience a quiet, serene atmosphere in a square that overlooks the Narikala Fortress.
Getting There
The church is situated within the historic district of Tbilisi. From the city center, it is accessible via a short walk or a taxi ride, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes depending on your starting point and the steepness of the terrain in the Old Town.
Time Requirement
Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to explore the church and the surrounding square.
When to Visit
Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon avoids the peak flow of tourists moving toward the fortress. The site generally remains quieter than the main tourist hubs, though it can become busier during religious services.

- Narikala Fortress (0.2km)
- Church of Saint George (0.2km)
