See the newly constructed Bridge of Peace, a bow-shaped glass and steel pedestrian bridge over the Mtkvari River in the Georgian capital. The bridge was brought to Georgia from Italy in 200 unassembled components and is 156 meters long with more than 10,000 LED bulbs that are switched on every day before sunset.
- Witness one of old Tbilisi's most emblematic structures, the fairytale-like Clock Tower outside the Rezo Gabriadze Marionette Theater. On the hour, a mechanical angel pops out of a door near the top and strikes the bell outside with a hammer.
