A complex of caves near Gori. There is a parking lot, toilets and summer cafes. There are a lot of signs with names everywhere. It's not difficult to climb, but it's better to put on sneakers and take a windbreaker and sunglasses. Different caves from some time ago, almost the whole city. Strong winds blow from above, lots of sun and beautiful views. Because it's all at a high altitude. There is a wine cellar at the end of the tour. If you take a ticket for 20 GEL, then they will pour a glass. In general, it is possible to visit, for the sake of caves and views.
A unique parking place for ancient people. The scale of the settlement is impressive: there are many structures and houses. The place is interesting! Take comfortable shoes, a windbreaker, to eat and drink.
A great place for a walk, I recommend it with a local guide, it will be much more interesting, the price for visits is 20 lari with a visit to a wine cellar and tasting 4 types of wine, the price of a guide for a two-three hour walk is 30 lari per group. I definitely recommend it
An impressive place with a long history! A fairly large complex of caves, beautiful views open up. Free parking - in front of the barrier along the main road
Very beautiful. A lot of history. The cave city, where Queen Tamara was crowned for the first time and made the escort of Georgia. It is important that the guide tells an interesting story
We explored the cave city on our own, eavesdropped on guides from organized groups, so we got interesting information! It is necessary to start the examination early in the morning so that you do not overheat in the sun, and the photos are good only in the morning or evening. We waited out the heavy rain in the church, thunder and lightning caught up with the horror, and then the lights went out! It was good with candles in a reliable stone temple! And on the way back in five minutes there is a food court with an incredibly delicious lunch! Have a meal, you won't regret it!!!
In order not to repeat all the reviews, just tips: there is a toilet of 1 GEL in the parking lot, inside the complex after buying tickets for free; a wine museum is not required, just an advertisement for local wine and half a glass, and a little lecture.
Well, the parking grandfather, who will charge you 5 lari for parking on government-owned gravel. Classic.
It's a very atmospheric place. The story is very interesting. It was really hard to get up there, but it was worth it! A very well-maintained area. Special thanks to the guide.
It is very atmospheric and mesmerizingly beautiful. Beautiful views. I highly recommend you to visit. I will have the opportunity to visit this wonderful place again.
An interesting historical place. Good road, large enough Parking, easy ascent to the main attractions.
Admission in September 2023 cost 17 lari.
There are toilets (free) on the site, souvenir trade ....
There are a lot of elderly people. Especially foreigners. Transport and pedestrian accessibility apparently affects.
At the foot of the full house with a description of the cave city and its history in several languages. Very useful.
The temple on the mountain is active..
The territory of the mountain is equipped. Ladders, paths, railings
An interesting place . I recommend.
I really liked it.I visited the wine cellar, tasted Stalinist wines.Everything is on top 👍I recommend visiting there.A very beautiful place!I rested my body and soul.
This is an incredible place. It's great to see such an incredible story, and also to climb all these buildings. It was funny to watch the inhabitants of these buildings - lizards. Incredible impressions for a lifetime from Georgia! 😄
A beautiful, unusual place, one of the first settlements in Georgia. You can climb the ruins, you get great pictures. There is a strong wind blowing. For people with little mobility, the place is not the best place to visit.
Be sure to visit, especially if you are going to Gori. Of course there are a lot of people, but the magic of the place does not disappear from this. Everyone will find their own. Get to know the local lizard inhabitants. If you have enough time, visit the ancient village at the foot, you will understand that..... here it is individual.
An interesting place, a must-visit, comfortable shoes are a must, there is a catering point and Parking for cars. The climb is not difficult, the views are beautiful.
A very spectacular place! A city carved into the rock, traces of human habitation in the old days, catchments, sleeping places carved in stone. You can say the ancient apartments in the ancient stone city.
I really liked it))
A cool old town a couple of hours from Tbilisi. There are different routes to it. There is a cafe on site. There is a cafe before the entrance to the park, but there was a very strange service. There is a very promising greeting at the entrance, and then a student who knows little about this matter. But in the old town itself, you can have a great time. Dress warmly! The wind is very strong there! An aksakal stands at the entrance and sells honey, wine, etc.
As a museum methodologist, it was just wild for me to walk around this historical place - you need to be able not to invest so much in presentation and presentation. You will not see anything with your eyes except what is visible from the car window or in the pictures in Yandex. A very relaxed museum arrangement, in any provincial town local historians invest more.
An absolute must have!
Where else can you experience a place where people have been living for 3,000 years?
So atmospheric, so authentic.
Pompeii fell asleep 2,000 years ago...
and here is such a depth of retrospect...
Be sure to take a tour guide, but not a Mom. Composes a lot)
Quite an interesting place, the truth about the life of the city and what it was better to read there in advance, the guide probably knows a lot, but he won't have time to tell everything during the tour))
A great place, there is where to ask, what to see. Parking on the territory of 3 lari, in front of the barrier for free)) The toilet also became chargeable for 1 GEL. The ticket price for an adult is 15 lari or 20 lari with wine tasting (I won't tell you what it is). I recommend watching it for sure!
An ancient city with a rock, even before the adoption of Christianity, people lived here. We took a guided tour with an audio guide. It is not difficult to walk, there were many tourists with children.
If you have not reached Vardzia, it is definitely worth a visit. The stone city, which has survived to the present day, leaves strong impressions. It is better to take a guided tour.
Интересное место. Огромная территория, классный вид. Ветрено, поэтому необходимо закрепить или, лучше вообще, снять головные уборы. Можно зайти в музей, вся история подробно расписана, нам не хватило времени посмотреть фильм, хотя благодаря ему было б понятнее еще больше что и кто и почему. Если есть возможность у администратора, то дайте ссылку на фильм, который там транслируется. Заранее спасибо.
A magnificent cave city. A very interesting ancient landmark. Good preservation for such an ancient city. Large territory Beautiful view from above. It is convenient enough to go around everything and see for yourself.
While traveling in Georgia, we decided to stop by this landmark. At first, the navigator took us to the cemetery in the neighboring village, but after a long search we still found the right road. At the entrance, they immediately charged us 3 GEL for parking and persistently
offered to buy jam for 20lari, then at the entrance they charged 15lari per person for admission. At the same time, there was no audio guide, as well as excursions. There is a small museum of what was found during the excavations. We walked around the territory and looked at the closed temple and the remains of rock settlements. Most of which are in poor condition. The whole inspection took no more than half an hour. From the territory of the settlement there is a view of the ruins of the settlement in the valley of the river. In general, if you do not visit this place, you will not lose much
We fell in love with Georgia! A noble, ancient place! Beauty is everywhere: the mountain itself, and the views from it to the surrounding area! It takes your breath away!
We stopped by on the way from Tbilisi to Kutaisi. We thought that for 1 hour, while everything was covered, it took 2. It was good that they put on sneakers, and the caps were almost blown away. The place smells of antiquity. We are delighted, especially the child.
It's a wonderful place, we walked for a long time, our legs ached. In addition to the cave city, there is also a good bank of the Kura River. The entrance fee is 15 Lars.
Ancient city.
Two exit prices with and without wine tasting. The difference is 5 GEL.
There is an audio guide in Russian.
There is not much information in principle, but it gives understanding.
I write what worried me.
I've been climbing there for three hours.
I took a Bolt taxi from Gori for 14 lari, he offered to wait for me for an hour for 30 lari.
Because it is impossible to order a Bolt taxi in the opposite direction. I refused.
Before that, another taxi driver offered 2 hours of waiting for GEL 40.
At the checkout, she clarified that she travels from the neighboring village in a 15-minute walk once an hour by bus Uplestsikhe-Gori.
At the exit, I asked the guard to call me a taxi and he found a person, agreed for 20 lari to Gori 👍
That is, it is not a dead zone, as people from Gori say, and you can leave from there. + there are a lot of Russian tourists in cars, I think you can negotiate with them.
There are also a lot of foreigners.
This is something incredible. The monument itself is impressive, and the view from the height is even better. During the walk, we saw a lot of very large lizards. There is something to see.
Uplistsikhe is an amazing place. It is better to arrive at the opening by 10 o'clock in the morning, then there are still not so many tourists. It is better to take a minimum ticket for 15 lari (the cost for March 2023), and for 20 lari a wine tasting will also be included - the wine is expensive and did not go very far for me - do not waste time and money.
A very beautiful place, hanging there, beautiful views, rocks, lizards. There is a wine tasting, I recommend this unusual place to visit, it is very atmospheric here
Историческое место! Без гида тоже можно походить и посмотреть. Стоимость билета 20 лари намвзрослого. Вся история есть на сайте и в интернете. На территории очень вкусное и дорогое вино, рекомендую редкий сорт Ахашени местного производства. Бутылка стоит 70 лари, но когда попробуете, то цена растворяется во в обалденном вкусе!
In sunny weather, take glasses,SPF, and a hat. And comfortable shoes- you'll have to climb, but it's worth it.
A guide or audio guide is desirable. Good cardio load
An interesting place, beautiful views from above.There is a description and a map in front of the main trail at the entrance and QR codes at the objects, you can read, because guides, frankly, are strange in Georgia.
Очень познавательная экскурсия, достаточно лёгкая, недалеко от Тбилиси, отличные виды, смело можно брать с собой детей, они будут рады побегать. Обязательно удобную не скользящую обувь и воду.
We were in very good weather, which probably had a lot to do with impressions. It is interesting to walk on the rocks where people lived thousands of years ago, look at the surroundings from the mountains, and there are also benches in cozy places on the riverbank - meditative places :oh)
The place is very interesting, definitely worth a visit. You expect at least 2 hours, although you can spend the whole day there. Everyone writes that there are a lot of lizards, and there are. But no one wrote that there are turtles, but maybe it was only us who managed to see her (one turtle).
I liked that the parking is free and the entrance is not very expensive, we paid 15 lari.
A unique place! That's really underestimated! A cave city founded in the second millennium BC, perfectly preserved, plus magnificent landscapes. If there is time, it is definitely worth coming
