As the colder months approach, there are few places in Tbilisi more inviting than the historic sulphur baths of Abanotubani.
Nestled in the heart of the Old Town, these naturally heated baths have been part of the city’s identity for centuries. Their history is closely tied to the founding legend of Tbilisi itself, a city whose name derives from the Georgian word for “warm.”
From the historic bathhouses of centuries past to the beautifully preserved brick domes of today, Abanotubani remains one of Tbilisi’s most distinctive traditions.
And as winter draws near, there is no better time to experience it.
