Tbilisi
Caucasus capital city
Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, situated on the banks of the Kura River in the South Caucasus.
The city serves as Georgia's political, economic, and cultural center: We spent a week exploring the old town in Tbilisi.
Its name derives from the Georgian word for "warm," referring to the area's sulfurous hot springs.
