In fact, Tbilisi Georgia is a photography playground. To avoid wasting time, you must be familiar with certain atmospheric locations as well as some helpful hints.

It does not matter whether you take a photo on your mobile phone or with a professional camera, after your photoshoot in Tbilisi your Social Media feed will be filled with the warmth and comfort of this welcoming country.

Gabriadze Clock Tower

With its cartoon-like architecture, Tbilisi’s leaning tower, Gabriadze Clock Tower, is an ideal photo location. Try to arrive around 12 pm or 7 pm to see The Circle of Life, a puppet show. If you miss it, you can still see the angel hammering the bell every hour.

Former Soviet Factory – Fabrika

Fabrika, housed in a former Soviet sewing factory, is now one of Tbilisi’s hippest hangouts. It often reminds people of the LX Factory in Lisbon as well as the Revaler Strasse in Berlin. There are design shops, cafes, restaurants, studios, and workshops, as well as a hostel. It is one of the favorite restaurants in Tbilisi for numerous travelers. The atmosphere is fantastic.

Kaleidoscope

Tbilisi’s 19th-century stained glass house accommodates a miniature boutique with numerous attractive and authentic handcrafted souvenirs. You can go there to shop as well as take beautiful photos in front of these colorful glasses. You’re in luck if you can catch the sun shining through these windows, creating a spectacular scene.

Underground Murals

Tbilisi has recently developed street arts even with a government’s involvement to encourage local artists to take up the new trend. While driving or walking around the city you will notice numerous murals, but most of them are found in the underpasses. These photogenic murals are often illegal paintings, however, they have more authentic stories and artsy features. 

Opera House

If there is a ballet or opera performance at the Georgian National Opera and Ballet Theater of Tbilisi, or simply the Opera House of Tbilisi when you visit the city, don’t miss it. Formed in 1851, the Tbilisi Opera House is one of the oldest artistic establishments in Europe. The interior of the opera house is also very authentic, making it a great photo opportunity.

Orbeliani Baths

The sulfur baths are trademarks of Georgia. They are lovely, and it’s where tourists get their one-of-a-kind photo cards. One of the most picturesque sulfur baths in Tbilisi is Orbeliani Baths. Best thing is that you can photograph Orbeliani Baths both from inside and outside taking shots from multiple perspectives. Not only can you enjoy the historical style, but you can also relax in the sulfur baths. The Orbeliani Baths building itself is stunning, with a blue-tiled facade that draws the eye right away.

The Chronicle of Georgia

Many tourists are unaware of this venue because it is remote from the city and there is little information about it online. You can find about it from locals only. It is a 20th-century monument that chronicles the history of Georgia. There are no public transportation stops nearby, so it is best to take a taxi. We guarantee that your efforts will be rewarded as soon as you reach the summit.
