The city exhales as the sun drops behind Sololaki Hill and the Kura (Mtkvari) river begins to flash its evening reflection. Beginning at Rose Revolution Square, the guided walk pushes through Rustaveli Avenue’s grand facades and slips into the narrower lanes of Old Town, where wooden balconies lean over cobbled streets and the clock tower stages its hourly puppet scene.
