15 Best Mtskheta & Uplistsikhe Tours

Here I have gathered the day tours that combine Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital, with the carved cave town of Uplistsikhe. The pairing works on the map: Mtskheta sits twenty minutes from Tbilisi and Uplistsikhe about an hour further west. Ask for Jvari Monastery first; from its ridge you look straight down on the point where the Aragvi meets the Mtkvari.
