• Arashenda Building - At night, the Arashenda Building stands as a poignant reminder of a bygone era — part dream, part relic. Originally intended to be the grand Hotel Odishi in the early 1980s, construction halted due to political upheaval and civil unrest in Georgia. The 17-story structure was never completed; later, families displaced by conflict found refuge here, transforming this abandoned site into a vertical community of resilience.

Its two folded wings resemble an open book, yet the narrative within is one of silence and perseverance. Under the dim light, cracked walls and makeshift balconies create an eerie beauty. The guide will share the building’s history and current stories, explaining why locals call it Arashenda — “the one that did not get built.” From its open stairways, visitors can enjoy a striking night view of the nearby Chronicles of Georgia — a juxtaposition of glory, loss, and endurance etched in concrete and shadow.

• Memorial History of Georgia - At night, the Chronicles of Georgia monument becomes one of the most awe-inspiring and atmospheric sites in Tbilisi. Perched high above the city, it is bathed in soft golden light and surrounded by deep shadows. Few people visit after dark, making the experience serene, powerful, and almost otherworldly.

The guide will lead visitors among the towering columns, sharing the hidden meanings and legends behind the figures carved into the stone. They will witness how the interplay of light and shadow transforms the monument into a living narrative of Georgia’s kings, saints, and ancient faith. From the top platform, enjoy a panoramic night view over the city and the dark waters of the Tbilisi Sea — an ideal spot to feel the contrast between history, silence, and light.

• Former Archaeology Museum - At night, the Former Archaeology Museum in Digomi stands as a haunting testament to lost ambition and forgotten history. Rising above Tbilisi on Digomi Hill, this abandoned structure was built in 1988 to preserve Georgia’s ancient treasures but never fully opened its doors.

Under dim city light, the carved bas-reliefs shimmer like ghosts of the past, their figures emerging from cracked stone. The vast stairway resembles an entrance to an ancient temple — silent, cold, and magnetic. Even in daylight, the building feels otherworldly; at night, its presence deepens, surrounded by echoing emptiness.

The guide will bring this place to life with stories of its creation, political changes, and the shifting fate of Georgian archaeology — revealing how this forgotten landmark still connects the modern skyline with the distant spirit of Old Tbilisi.

• The building of the Ministry of Highways of the Georgian SSR - At night, the former Ministry of Highways of the Georgian SSR rises above the city like a surreal sculpture of light and shadow. Designed in the 1970s, its massive concrete blocks are stacked like floating bridges, symbolizing the unity of Georgia’s mountain roads. Once a bold statement of Soviet engineering and ambition, it now houses the Bank of Georgia Headquarters, blending history and modern life in one extraordinary form.

Under the night sky, the structure feels both futuristic and ancient — its illuminated corridors hanging over the hillside, its voids glowing softly in the dark. Few places in Tbilisi are so dramatic after sunset. The guide will show visitors the best angles for photos and reveal the story behind this iconic landmark — a masterpiece of vision, politics, and architecture that continues to define the skyline of modern Tbilisi.

• Nutsubidze Skybridge - The Nutsubidze Skybridge is one of Tbilisi’s most striking landmarks — a symbol of bold Soviet imagination and human endurance. Built in the 1970s on the steep slopes of Nutsubidze Plateau, three massive residential blocks are connected by suspended bridges high above the city, offering one of the most dramatic panoramas in Georgia.

At night, the corridors glow faintly like floating walkways in the sky. Below, the city lights flicker; above, concrete towers fade into darkness. Visitors ride an old elevator, still operated by a kind “lift lady” who has watched generations come and go. Her quiet presence and the hum of the elevator make the ascent feel almost ritual — a small moment of connection within this grand architectural maze.

From the bridges, visitors will see Tbilisi’s skyline unfold, stretching from modern glass towers to the distant hills of the old city. It’s both eerie and beautiful — a glimpse into the city’s layered soul, suspended between past and future.

• Arcadia Georgia - The Wedding Palace in Tbilisi, also known as the Palace of Rituals, is one of the most fascinating symbols of Soviet Georgia — a monument where architecture, ideology, and emotion merge. Built in 1984 by architect Victor Jorbenadze, it replaced traditional church weddings with a new civic ritual, blending the sacred and the socialist.

Its form is extraordinary: rising like a spiraling tower or a futuristic temple, with arches that echo ancient Georgian churches yet framed in raw concrete. Some see in it a nod to Le Corbusier’s sculptural modernism — but warmer, more spiritual, and unmistakably Georgian.

In Soviet times, couples lined up here to begin their lives in a space meant to sanctify love without religion. At night, the building glows softly from within, its windows casting curved shadows that feel both romantic and surreal. The Wedding Palace is not only an architectural masterpiece — it’s a story about love, power, and the search for beauty amid concrete and control.
