Georgia-Russia Friendship Monument

Georgia-Russia Friendship Monument stands on a high hill beside the Georgian Military Highway, between the Gudauri Ski Resort and the Jvari Pass, and is a popular stop on the way from Tbilisi to Kazbegi. The structure itself is a semi-circular stone and concrete building, but the real highlight is hidden inside the arch: a giant circular mosaic mural spreads along the inner curved wall, depicting historical scenes and figures of Georgia and Russia in vibrant colors, and featuring verses by the Georgian poet Rustaveli. It is a classic example of large-scale Soviet-era murals.

Mt Kazbek

Mt Kazbek is located on the border between northern Georgia and Russia. It is a dormant volcano with a double-coned mountain body at an elevation of approx. 5,000m. It is the third-highest peak in Georgia and one of the few volcanic cones in the Caucasus Mountains. The peak is covered in snow year-round, and multiple glaciers hang from the mountain. The surrounding area features deep valleys, glaciers, meadows, and alpine rock faces. Due to its high altitude, the summit is covered in snow year-round, creating a sharp contrast between the white snow-capped peak and the dark rocks, which looks particularly spectacular in clear weather.

Tbilisi sea

Tbilisi sea is a large artificial reservoir located in the northeastern suburbs of Tbilisi. Built in the 1950s, it still serves as a source of urban water supply. Beaches, lawns, and walking paths are distributed around the lake, making it a popular spot for locals to cool off and play in the water during the summer: some sunbathe on the beach or go swimming, while others have picnics or play beach volleyball. Sailboats, jet skis, and water skis can often be seen crossing the lake, and interested visitors can also find places to experience water sports by the lakeside. In the evening, the lake surface reflects the distant mountains and the setting sun, making it very pleasant to sit on the shore and watch the sunset.

The Clock Tower

The Clock Tower stands at the entrance of an alley in Tbilisi's Old Town, right next to the puppet theater founded by Rezo Gabriadze. The tower leans and features a mix of old and new bricks, looking from a distance like an old tower that might collapse at any moment. The walls are covered with handmade ceramic tiles, hiding small figurines, birds, animals, and playful patterns. The whole structure looks like a house straight out of a fairy tale book. Its signature is the hourly performance: on the hour, a small door at the top of the tower opens, an angel with golden wings leans out, and strikes the bell with a small hammer. To see the full process, it is recommended to wait on the street a few minutes in advance. Every day at noon and in the evening, a window at the base of the tower also hosts a puppet show called "The Circle of Life," which depicts the life cycle of meeting, starting a family, growing old, and saying goodbye in just a few minutes. You can watch it right from the street.
