Unexpected Places to Look in Tbilisi

In Tbilisi, as in many world’s ancient cities, there are famous and little-known places for tourists. So why not to write about them in the guides book? Let’s get acquainted with some of them: natural anomalies, atmospheric places, the best casinos in Tbilisi.

But on the Mtatsminda mountain physics does not work. Cars with turned off engine go up the hill on a flat road. As if there is a magnet or a long-awaited refueling.
