The core of the Old Town is located at the eastern end of the city, between the port and leafy Gamsakhurdia Street (you can identify it as the lemon-shaded area on Google Maps). The cobbled streets running east-west are rich with Art Nouveau facades, Art Deco corner buildings and magnificent old houses with wrought iron balconies. Heritage architecture stretches all the way back to 6 May Park, so it’s worth walking down these streets as well. Most of the buildings in the Old Town date to the end of the 19th century, but some look a lot older. As you walk, keep an eye out for the information panels that reveal black-and-white photographs of what some of the buildings and streets looked like at the turn of the century.
