Sightseeing
In this list, I'll be adding those places which are often skipped from the top 10 places to visit in Tbilisi. And most of them will be located in your neighbourhood or nearby.
The place is sometimes missing from Tbilisi sightseeing lists, that's why I'm adding it to list. You might also have already noticed it from your window. The place is really worth visiting. Monument by Zurab Tsereteli, the famous Georgian sculptor will take you through Georgian History, while having a great view over Tbilisi sea. It's about 20-25 minutes driving from Sharatava str.

It is a small restaurant with an authentic style. Here, in a nice, cozy atmosphere, you can enjoy Georgian traditional dishes with some modern twist. We would recommend ordering “Gobi”, it is a huge plate of mixed Georgian “Pkhali” (walnut seasoned greens), pickles, Mchadi (cornbread), and cheeses. Shavi Lomi will cost you around 20 USD per person, but it’s definitely worth the price.

As Georgians are very fond of their history and good food, they are coming to Barbarestan to enjoy the taste of good old times. You won’t find too trivial dishes there: the menu is rich on the recipes from the cookbook written by Barbare Jorjadze, the Chef and feminist of 19th century. The Chef, who we consider the best in the country, deserves personal compliments. Vintage atmosphere and recipes combined with fabulous quality and service – that was the idea of the founders (a family with 10 children). They know, how a family-type restaurant should taste and look like. In short, the atmosphere is very pleasant and different from all the traditional restaurants in the region. It is the possible destination for true gourmands in Georgia.

As far as Taxi is pretty cheap compared to other European countries, I'd suggest to use Applications
As far as Taxi is pretty cheap compared to other European countries, I'd suggest to use Applications (to avoid bargain with drivers). Most popular taxi apps are:
1. Bolt
2. Yandex Taxi
More or less both of the companies have same pricing and it will cost around 6 GEL (2 USD) to get to most of the places you would like to visit.
