Take a sulfur bath in Abanotubani

Make time for the bath ritual beneath the district's distinctive domes, rather than treating them only as a photo stop.

Why go

Abanotubani's low brick domes mark the bathhouses built around Tbilisi's natural hot springs. The district is easy to photograph from outside, but a bath gives the place its real purpose: a pause in the middle of a walking day.

Bathhouses differ in atmosphere and room options. Choose one that suits your group and budget, then allow enough time to arrive, change and settle in rather than squeezing the visit between other stops. Any scrub or extra treatment should be checked separately when you book.
