Service Description

Germans played a very important and largely positive role in Georgian history. German settlers, architects, engineers, and entrepreneurs made a significant contribution to the development of Tbilisi and Georgia. We start our tour at Rustaveli Metro Station, where I will tell you the story of German migrants who came to Georgia from Württemberg in the 19th century. As we walk along Rustaveli Avenue, I will show you some of the historic buildings connected with German architects and explain how German architectural influence shaped the appearance of central Tbilisi. We will also talk about Georgia’s declaration of independence on May 26, 1918, and the important role Germany played in the political events surrounding Georgia’s independence. I will show you the historic building where the Act of Independence was proclaimed and explain what happened there. From Rustaveli Avenue, we continue towards Europe Square, where you will see an authentic section of the Berlin Wall. I will explain why a piece of the Berlin Wall is located in Tbilisi and tell you the fascinating story behind its connection with Georgia. This walking tour is a journey through the German-Georgian connection, combining history, architecture, politics, and some fascinating stories that you might otherwise miss while exploring Tbilisi.
