Faiths of Tbilisi — Synagogue, Mosque and Armenian Churches

A three-hour walk through four places of worship in one small stretch of Tbilisi, from the Great Synagogue to the Blue Monastery.

Itinerary

09:00Meet near Abanotubani and walk to the Great Synagogue, Tbilisi's main surviving synagogue, built in 1913 by the city's Ashkenazi community.
09:30Walk to the Juma Mosque, a short distance away, where Sunni and Shia Muslims have shared the same prayer hall since Ottoman times.
10:00Enter the Armenian quarter and visit Surb Gevorg (St George) church, the oldest functioning Armenian church in the city, with a look at the surrounding streets where several Armenian churches once stood.
10:40Walk north along the Mtkvari riverbank toward Kostava Street.
11:10Visit the Lurji Monastery (Blue Monastery), a 13th-century Georgian Orthodox church that stands apart from the main cluster of Old Town sights, weather and access permitting.
12:00Tour ends; your guide can point you toward lunch in the Armenian quarter or back to the sulphur baths.

Questions

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.
