I fell in love with the capital of Georgia at first sight. I was most captivated by the old town with its openwork balconies, fabulously colorful houses, exotic churches and the Narikala fortress towering over everything. Countless souvenir shops, atmospheric cafes and the extraordinary openness and joy of life of the inhabitants of Tbilisi made me feel at home here. I also had the opportunity to admire the city at night, when the buildings, lit by floodlights, looked more mysterious.
