A unique country where Europe meets Asia, Georgia is a hidden gem for your travels in 2019.
The capital city of Tbilisi is having a real moment right now. Its cobblestoned old town reflects a long, complicated history, with periods under Persian and Russian rule. Pretty art nouveau buildings make for superb Instagrams though.
Want to get the best Georgia Instagram photos? We’ve picked the 7 top spots to get your holiday snaps.
1. Bridge of Peace
One of the most-visited landmarks in Tbilisi, the Peace Bridge is a symbol of new Georgia and connects the old town with the new district. It’s covered in thousands of tiny LED lights that turn on 90 minutes before sunset.
A must-see for an eye catching Georgia Instagram photo.

“Abanotubani” is the name given to the area in the Old Town of Tbilisi where there’s a whole street of public bathhouses. They use the sulphur waters that come directly from local hot springs.
A unique experience in Georgia.

6. Kaleidoscope House
The only stained glass house in the city of Tbilisi, this beauty is an architectural jewel. On a sunny day when the light makes the coloured glass really shine, there’s no better place for a Georgia Instagram photoshoot.
It used to be a private home but is now open to the public.

7. Katskhi Pillar
Yes, that is a church on top of a 13-foot limestone rock. Even more incredible is the fact that one solitary monk still lives there.
A rusty ladder will lead you to the top, but be aware that local customs mean that women aren’t allowed to climb it.
