Often called Tchreli Abano, “colourful baths”, the Orbeliani Bath House is one of the most beautiful architectural landmarks in the city, with vibrant mosaics adorning the exterior. Most of the bathhouses in the area date back to the 17th century and still have traces of Iranian architecture. However, this particular bathhouse was refurbished in an Asian style in the 19th century.

What used to be a Soviet sewing factory is now a popular gathering place for many locals and visitors to Tbilisi. Fabrika is a multifunctional space that incorporates a hostel, cafes, a co-working space, shops and more. It’s a great spot to see street art and experience the hipster scene in the capital.
