Mtskheta
Mtskheta's historic monuments are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making this pocket-sized Georgian town — set at the confluence of two rivers and close to the mountains — one of the country's most significant ancient sites. An unusual concentration of churches fills the compact centre, and a café and restaurant scene sized above what the town's population might suggest gives visitors plenty of reason to linger after the monuments.
