About this itinerary
This is a thematic walk through the city’s legends and unusual stories rather than a general introduction. Sololaki, old mansions and places of memory offer an unfamiliar perspective on Tbilisi. It suits travellers who know the main sights and are looking for a different theme.
A different angle on city stories
Treat mystical accounts as urban legends and an authored narrative, rather than proven supernatural facts. Check the listed locations and respect the visiting rules of each place.
What awaits you
- Sololaki — a historic district where you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. Labyrinths of narrow streets and secret courtyards will tell you about the Freemasons and their rituals, which took place here for centuries. These places are filled with a magical energy that simply draws in lovers of esotericism
- Asatiani and Bebutov Streets, which keep the traces of such outstanding personalities as Lermontov, Griboyedov, Pushkin and Akhverdov. You will visit the houses where they lived and learn about the mysterious stories that happened there
- Ingarokva and Laboratory Streets with locations where secret gatherings of mages and esotericists took place. Here we will also see a building resembling Hogwarts from the story about Harry Potter
- Mansions of two patrons — Yuzbashev and Bozarjanc, which preserve the spirit of past eras. The Yuzbashev House is striking with its images of Lucifer, which captivate the imagination, while the Bozarjanc mansion has experienced many amazing events
- The Pantheon — a place that preserves the story of the love drama of Joseph Stalin and his first wife, Ekaterine Svanidze. You will learn about the theological seminary that Stalin left for occultism, and a couple of other of his secrets
- Vera Cemetery — a witness to many rituals that have been performed here since ancient times. We will look at the ancient crypts where representatives of the Ananov, Anashev and Bagrationi families rest, as well as the place where Vakhtang Kikabidze and his ancestors are buried
- Mikhailovsky Avenue and the mansion of Prince Oldenburgsky, where the ghost of the princess to whom he gave this house wanders, and where sinister mysteries are still kept
