Los MEJORES RINCONES de TIFLIS | GEORGIA #8

[Music] I have just arrived at one of the most important points of the city and in general of Georgia in terms of religious level And I am in front of the Sameva Cathedral, an impressive Orthodox cathedral that was built, it is super modern, it was built between 1996 and 2004 to commemorate the second Millennium of the birth of Jesus but it is impressive, it is the third largest Orthodox cathedral in the world and in terms of occupied space because the cathedral is there but it is in an extension where there is also another church It is walled because the extension of the entire place is one of the largest religious places there is [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I am returning towards the old area towards the main fortress area I try to speak loudly because the traffic that comes through here is constant and super noisy. What I was telling you about is that there are buildings here with a very particular, very modern architectural design that makes a lot of contrast with the older, more medieval architectural part of the city. Examples like this one here, which is on the other side of the river bank, is a public government building that is known as the mushroom because of the shape of the roof part, but then there are other buildings like this one, for example, which I recorded yesterday passing in car because it is quite far from the area where I am, which is the Bank of Georgia and also look at the curious shape it has so well and they are trying to innovate in some parts of the architecture to make that contrast with the oldest part [ Music] or look at this building on this side of the river, for example, it is Enrique's concert hall and it also has a very interesting shape, a kind of horizontal funnel or a kind of Marine spyglass and next to it is The Bridge of Peace, which is a bridge also of modern architectural style that was built recently in 2010 and was a kind of monument that commemorates the transition from the dark past that Georgia had to a more promising past [Music] I am here crossing the bridge of the Peace To return to the old area, you see where Enrique's or Reik's concert hall is located, as it is pronounced, just above you see that there is a building that has a glass dome. That building is quite new, it dates back to 2009, it is neoclassical in style and It was the Old Presidential Building [Music] here behind me there is one of the most touristic points currently in the city of Bilissi, which is the clock tower. It is very characteristic because this is a tower. So it is like crooked and has a lot of elements in the lower part have like mosaics in the middle part there is a kind of puppet theater that if I'm not mistaken there is like a small puppet show every hour on the hour Now there are like five like that I mean it's far away I don't know if I will be able to spend some more time to see it and then the upper part, which is the part of the clock, which is also in levels, looks like stacked boxes and this entire Tower is as if crooked. In fact, there is a giant iron beam. Here you see, here it is. supporting, I don't know to what extent it will be necessary, it will simply be part of the architecture of the sculpture because the sculpture itself is super new, it is from 2010, that is, it is very modern and it has been made for different elements that have been added in the city to make it more touristy [Music] next to the clock tower square where it was Now there is a place in Mérida to have breakfast, a place that is like a kind of hotel-restaurant But well, it also serves breakfast to people from outside called el Blue Fox, which looks very good, above all, the place is already super pretty, it has very chill out music, the facades are so colorful, I had to have breakfast, I didn't know, I did n't know whether to get something traditional, etc. Yes, I had a sandwich that It's with bacon, lettuce and egg benedict and a latte. So it's very good that I have it included in my hotel but right now it's quite a distance walking and I don't feel like going there and well, I prefer to be here around the area taking a walk and then I'll rest peacefully So very good, very relaxing, reading here for a while and perfect. I mean, I couldn't ask for more right now and after two hours resting in the cafeteria, the truth is that I was there in luxury reading quietly, having the toast, I needed it because I woke up at 5 I was there and I've been touring the city since 6 o'clock. So I needed a little break and now my idea is to know how the queue is but I would like to go up to the fort with the cable car. Normally I would go up on foot instead of with the cable car but well, as It's part of the city's attraction, let's try it. Well, why am I lying? I'm really lazy because right now it's getting pretty hot and I'd rather go quietly in a cabin than have to give myself a hard time, but that's true. I mean. It's hot but it's very good. It'll be twenty-odd degrees. I don't think it will reach 30, but there is a small breeze and the truth is that in general right now it 's perfectly fine. [ Music] [ Music] Change of plans, I've given up taking the cable car. because there was a lot of queue the council opens at 10 in the morning I wish it opened earlier but my recommendation is that you be there at 10 in the morning especially if it is a weekend because being so popular there is quite a queue and it gave me It's lazy to walk up but what makes me even lazier is waiting in a tourist queue. So I walk up it and along the way I see different very interesting points like the Yuma mosque which is here behind me and is the least mosque of all. I have seen so far because they are usually quite striking in these shapes as well as more rounded with a lot of mosaic and this one in particular is made of pure brick in fact it looks like it is a mosque Simply because it has the minaret there but if we don't go I would never have said that It's a mosque [Music] [Music] I'm glad I walked up because the climb really isn't hard at all. I mean, if you come through the old area that I was showing you, it's a couple of hills up and in five or ten minutes you're there. That is separate, which is the part of the fortress where one of the churches is with the other, so I think I'm going to have to go down a little and turn around but it's still worth going up even if it's just for the views of The city is impressive, the truth is that it is very very beautiful. You can climb here to any corner of the wall and look from here you can see the upper station of the cable car [Music] I have already reached one of the viewpoints higher up and here it is A statue that is very famous is Carlis de Ara here you see it behind me it is a 20 meter statue that means or comes the official name in English or Spanish is the mother of Georgia or mother of Georgia and what it symbolizes is From this perspective you can't see it. But from here you can see that he has two hands and in each one he holds a different thing. In his right hand he is holding a glass of wine which is for greeting and welcoming people who come to the country. like to pick it up and in his left hand he has a sword as a defensive way against the Invaders. The really nice thing about coming up here are the views because you can't see the Statue from below and the fortress isn't visible either, so it's good for you. Keep it in mind in case it is worth it if you are thinking of going up on the cable car and there is going to be a lot up there, there is little but hey. There are several activities that you can do, some of them that I have already told you. What is it like, for example, the global aerostatic that It takes you up to a certain height, I don't know how high to see so you have the views. You also have the cable car that I have already shown you several times and that goes up to the top and then you also have here at the top there is a zipline, a zipline that takes you Go down to the Botanical Garden, which is at the back of this entire fortress. The side of the mountain is pure nature and there are practically no buildings, so you can take a zip line to the Botanical Garden, the only thing that stops you from returning. I think you will have it. What to do on foot and then also another activity in case you want a boat ride on the Cura River that I have told you about. In the central area there are also little boats and I don't know for how long, well, they give you a little tour to see the different monuments, take a pass, take a walk. I imagine it will be quite pleasant so well you have several options and you are going to spend more time here [Music] I have come to a restaurant here in the old area near where the clock tower is to have dinner something it has been raining practically all the time afternoon So I've been resting at the hotel but now well it's the last few minutes of the sun So it's getting really nice now and I 've now come to a restaurant called baoma on a street where there are several restaurants in such a touristy area but That one had good scores and the guy who set me up brought me to the terrace above and the truth is that it is very beautiful and I am going to have dinner now other typical dishes that I tried on the second third day, basically the katyapuri. that has the bread with the egg in the middle, I'm also going to try the kinkali again, which are the dumplings, these ones that are filled with different things in this case. I've ordered them with beef and pork, so well, we'll see how it goes, I'll tell you that. It looks very good but just because of the tracks in the entire area of ​​the fortress, the cable car And on top of that, since the ground is entering in these last few minutes, let's go, it's worth it and it's a perfect place right now, also a typical local beer Georgian, I haven't stuck with the name, she's fine, she's a normal blonde, here they offer you wine all the time, in fact, I should try wine, there have been a few glasses but very little because here it's very typical, in fact, the waiter told me and well, that's how Georgia is. one of the regions where wine began to be produced for the first time in history around 6000 BC and in fact. There are many towns throughout the country where you can take routes through different wineries where they explain the entire process and give you try etc. I'm not going to do this on this trip because I have it full of places I want to visit and I'm still going to give up and since I'm not a wine lover I haven't prioritized it But hey if it's something you like Don't stop doing it when you come because you're going to have it everywhere [Music] I 'm going to close the Tbilisi chapter of the capital of Bilissi here as you prefer. I loved it. It surprised me for the better and it's a place I would return to. calmly So if you come here don't hesitate I hope you liked the video There's still quite a bit of the trip left So yes the next videos and thank you for coming this far until next time [Music] [Applause] [Music]
