One of the main and most recognizable symbols of Tbilisi! The monument to the founder of the city, Tsar Vakhtang Gorgasali, looks very majestic and powerful. It is located on a cliff near the temple of Metekhi, and it is one of the best viewing platforms in the city. From here you can enjoy an incredible view of Kura, the old town and the Narikala fortress. Taking a photo here is a mandatory part of the program
