The church itself has some good frescoes. It’s a large church so very quiet and peaceful. The complex has several pavilions worth exploring, decorative gates and a large promenade leading up to the church with its gold dome. It was recently constructed so in great condition and I would highly recommend it for the experience of being almost entirely alone! Don’t forget to explore the cafe near the gate on your way out.

People generally arrive by tour buses so just wait for 20~30 mins until buses leave if you want to see the place less crowded. So no need to go there very early. It is actually 10 mins away from the river and there are old houses and local restaurants on the way. It is worth walking especially for taking good photos.

Extraordinary place. Amongst many lovely churches of the Russian Orthodox faith in Tiblisi, this is by far the grandest, largest and most spectacular. I was surprised to learn that it opened only in 1995. It is sited on a hillside to the est of the city, but within easy walking distance from the centre, along the Kura River and across a rather epic new steel and glass footbridge. It is imposing from the outside - it is designed to wow and to impress - and inside it is vast, in floorspace and in height. It was busy on the afternoon of the first Friday of March, with a knot of pilgrims standing around a dais listening to prayers and a sermon being offered by one of the priests. There are scores of wonderful almost life-size icons dotted prominently around the cathedral. Seating is very limited, leaving vast swathes of floor space to wander around. It is reverential, it is a place of prayer and pilgrimage., not a tourist attraction, but has many visitors. Many of the smaller churches dotted all over central Tiblisi share the same pattern, are older and also wonderful to visit. Reverence is the key. It was a wonderful afternoon visit. I am grateful.

Large church, with outdoor terrace and great views. Free entry to get inside and there’s a small shop where you can purchase souvenirs etc. Also has a couple of coffee shops/restaurants outside. Would recommend to take sunglasses as the tiled white flooring outdoors was very bright even on an overcast day. No photos allowed inside, but they are allowed on the exterior. Also need to dress conservatively and I noticed a lot of women had their heads covered (although I entered fine without a headcover and didn’t realize until afterwards). Also, think men need to wear trousers rather than shorts.

Also known as the Holy Trinity Cathedral, this gorgeous church is located on the top of the Elia Hill. From most parts of the city, you can see this church on the hill over looking the town. It. Is also free to enter.

Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi (Tsminda Sameba) is the biggest functional church of Georgia and the third biggest Orthodox cathedral in the world. The height of the cathedral with the central dome is 87 meters. It's a beautiful cathedral with a huge compound with the view of the mountain range. The cathedral is a Majestic structure, visible from any part of the city, especially in the night when it's lighted. It's a must visit place in Tbilisi.

Actually it doesn’t hurt if you are climbing the hill towards the Cathedral. A visit inside is spectacular but women have to cover their head and men if they are on shorts have to cover their knees. All no problem a substitute is provided inside the Cathedral. The building is just impressive beautiful and the outside area is nice too.
