Narikala Fortress

The city’s main citadel, which dates from the 4th Century AD. Rick: The Narikala Fortress sits above the Tbilisi botanical gardens, one can stroll the gardens and view the fortress quite well. Enter the fortress only with a guide, caution is urged. Look for two steel doors entering a hillside in the garden and have a look at the largest bomb shelter I have ever seen, built Soviet style. This is a tunnel which runs through the hill all the way to the center of the city again caution is urged. Tbilisi is a wonderful city for wine and food lovers, excellent resturants and very resonable. However, hard times always present some problems and unemployment is high.
