What To Expect

Visit a lesser-known part of Nadzaladevi — once a major Soviet industrial zone of factories, workshops, and railway tracks. While traces of that past are still visible, the past and present overlap in a lived-in neighborhood, with residential streets, family yards, and everyday local life continuing between the old structures. It’s a fascinating mix of history and present-day Tbilisi in one district.
