A three-hour walk through four places of worship in one small stretch of Tbilisi, from the Great Synagogue to the Blue Monastery.
- —Visits a working synagogue, a mosque, and more than one Armenian church within a 15-minute walking radius
- —The Juma Mosque is one of the few mosques in the world where Sunni and Shia Muslims pray in the same hall
- —Covers the layered history of the Armenian quarter around Surb Gevorg, including why so few Armenian churches remain standing
- —Finishes (conditions permitting) at the Lurji Monastery, a 13th-century Georgian Orthodox site set apart from the main Old Town cluster
- —Led by a licensed guide who explains dress and conduct expectations before you go in, so you are not turned away at the door
- —Flat, short-distance route through Abanotubani and Old Town, suitable before or after the sulphur baths
- ✓ Licensed English-speaking guide for three hours
- ✓ Route planned around each site's opening pattern
- ✓ Guidance on dress and behaviour for each place of worship

- · Dress modestly: shoulders and knees covered for all four sites, and a head covering for women is expected at the synagogue and may be asked for at the churches
- · Men are usually asked to remove hats inside the mosque and churches; shoes stay on in the synagogue and churches but come off before entering the mosque prayer hall
- · Opening hours and whether visitors can enter during prayer times vary by site and season, checked at booking
- · The route is flat and paved, under 3 km in total, suitable for most fitness levels

- · Bring a scarf or light shawl if you are sensitive to borrowing one at the door
Can we go inside during prayer times?
Non-worshippers are generally not admitted to the mosque or synagogue during active prayer; your guide times the visit to avoid this, but it is checked at booking.
Is this tour suitable for children?
Yes, the walking distance is short and flat, though the content is more about history and religion than entertainment, so it suits older children better than toddlers.
Why does the walk end at the Lurji Monastery instead of staying in Old Town?
It is the closest Georgian Orthodox site to the other three, and including it completes the picture of Tbilisi's religious diversity rather than leaving it at three faiths.
Can this be combined with the sulphur baths or a market walk?
Yes, both are nearby; ask us to pair this with the Sulphur Baths Experience or the Tbilisi Market and Street-Food Walk on the same day.
Prices are per person for two travelling together, in euros; solo travellers and larger groups are quoted on request. Every departure is private and adjusted to you. Hotels, wineries and restaurants on our routes are verified by GTour.
