Chronicle of Georgia — Attraction in Tbilisi

It’s a shame that the Tbilisi municipality does nothing with car burglars on this parking lot. And even employs corrupt police!!!

If you come there double-check that your car is properly locked. Thieves in this area use car key signal jammers, which block the signal when you try to lock your car remotely. They are even able to clone your key signal and unlock your car later. It’s safer not to use your remote key at all — lock your car manually instead.

There is a bald, overweight man (sometimes wearing a baseball cap) who works with one or two accomplices. They break into cars and steal valuables.

There is a police booth nearby, but even after I reported this man to them, they told me it’s not their responsibility and that I should contact the state police. This is despite the fact that they have a camera monitoring the parking lot. As soon as I reported them, one of the police officers made a phone call, and the car with the thieves left immediately after that. I suspect that even the security police receive a commission from each robbery for turning off the cameras at the right moment.

I’ve been to this location several times, and the thieves use different cars. Once it was a silver Honda HR-V, with plate number LL-808-LS another time silver Ford plate number HN-206-HH or a white Toyota Yaris. The first time I encountered them, I couldn’t lock my car. I got a bad feeling and left immediately. The next day they were there again. A week later, I returned and saw the same bald man sitting in a car, clearly using a device to block or clone another car’s key signal. There is also an old woman with a walking stick who seems to be working with them.

Unfortunately, I had no solid evidence to give to the police, as they didn’t manage to get into my car because I locked it manually. The only thing I could capture was a photo of one of their cars. So if you got robbed, give the police that photo and license plate number — it might help to identify them.

If you come here and your car can't be locked remotely, they’re probably around and have already captured your key signal. If you see people sitting in a car for no apparent reason — it’s most likely...

The Chronicles of Georgia is one of those places that completely blows your mind the moment you arrive. Picture this: sixteen massive bronze pillars reaching 35 meters into the sky, each one completely covered in intricate sculptures telling the entire crazy story of Georgian history. The whole vibe is like stumbling onto an ancient temple that somehow got mixed with Soviet ambition and artistic genius. When you stand beneath these giants, you genuinely feel tiny, and there's something almost magical about the weathered bronze and copper that's turned this gorgeous greenish color over the years. The views from the top are absolutely stunning, with the Tbilisi Sea sparkling on one side and the city sprawling below on the other, plus there's usually a nice breeze that makes the whole experience super refreshing. What makes it even better is that hardly anyone knows about this place, so you can wander around these epic pillars pretty much alone and soak in the whole atmosphere without fighting through crowds of tourists. Behind the main monument there's this sweet little chapel with incredible mosaic work that's worth checking out, and the flowing concrete staircase leading up is honestly a work of art itself. The pillars tell stories from the Bible at the bottom, feature legendary kings and queens like Tamar in the middle, and celebrate everyday Georgian life with wine harvests and folk celebrations at the top, so there's always something new to discover. It's got this unfinished, raw quality that somehow makes it even more powerful and authentic. Honestly, it's the kind of place where you can spend hours just chilling, taking photos, and feeling connected to thousands of years of history without any pressure or...

Nestled on the outskirts of Tbilisi, the Chronicles of Georgia is a hidden gem that offers a profound glimpse into the nation's rich history and culture. It was designed by the renowned Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli and construction began in 1985. The monument, however, remains unfinished. As I approached the towering monument, I was immediately struck by its grandeur and the intricate details carved into each pillar. The sheer scale of the structure is awe-inspiring, with each column telling a unique story from Georgia's past. The panoramic views of Tbilisi and the Tbilisi Sea from the top are nothing short of breathtaking. It's a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts and anyone looking to capture the essence of Georgia's capital from a different perspective. The serenity of the location, combined with the historical significance, makes it a must-visit for any traveller. What truly sets the Chronicles of Georgia apart is the sense of tranquillity and reflection it offers. Unlike the bustling city centre, this site provides a peaceful retreat where you can immerse yourself in the stories of kings, queens, and saints that shaped Georgia's history. The monument is relatively less crowded, allowing for a more intimate and personal experience. I highly recommend visiting the Chronicles of Georgia during sunset. The golden hues of the setting sun cast a magical glow on the monument, enhancing its majestic presence. Whether you're a history buff, a photography lover, or simply someone seeking a unique cultural experience, the Chronicles of Georgia is a destination that should...
