Why go

Akhaltsikhe's old Jewish quarter has an active upper synagogue and a nearby historic cemetery. The area tells a distinct story from the reconstructed fortress above it.

Walk the public streets first, then enter the synagogue only when visitors are welcome. The cemetery is a place of remembrance, not a shortcut or photo set.
