Gori in 5 days

If you only have 5 days to spend in Gori, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Gori attracts visitors as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, with a dedicated museum, preserved childhood house, and Soviet-era memorials offering a stark look at 20th-century history. The town is dominated by Gori Fortress, whose hilltop ruins give wide views over the Mtkvari River valley. Nearby, the ancient rock-hewn city of Uplistsikhe showcases cave dwellings, tunnels, and early Christian structures carved into sandstone cliffs. Gori also serves as a convenient base for exploring Shida Kartli’s churches, vineyards, and rural landscapes.
With favorites like Restaurant Fish House, Royal Home, and Resto-Bar Black Stars, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Hotel Georgia Gold and Resto-Bar Black Stars so you can get the best taste of Gori while you’re here.

Uplistsikhe is an archaeological site that contains the remains of a rock-cut town that dates back to the Iron Age. The town, consisting of caves and other structures carved into the rocky landscape, offers a unique glimpse into ancient Georgian history. It is possible to visit Uplistsikhe as part of day trips from Tbilisi, along with other nearby attractions such as Mtskheta and Gori or David Gareja Monastery.
One of the most interesting and historic places you can travel to in Georgia. This mountain-side carved town was inhabited up until around 1800. The unique culture, wine making and traditions of this place is truly one to learn about. Entry is a little pricey, 15 lari/person or 20 lari/person with a guided wine tasting. Parking is free outside the gates. I would plan at least 2-3 hours to comfortably explore this place
Fekete M — Google review
Visited this place as part of a day tour. 15 GEL entrance fee, credit cards accepted. Passed on the optional 5 extra wine extravaganza. A little more cave variety here as compared to Vardzia. Thank goodness we had a guide, as she added a lot to the experience. 👍

A huge unique historical site to visit. We loved exploring all the caves with the children and imagining what life would have been like when it was in use. It could have been better to have some explanations on the signs.
Tom W — Google review
beautiful and unique place! The old city carved into the wall is absolutely stunning, full of charm and history. The views from the top are breathtaking, and the atmosphere feels peaceful and authentic. There’s also an option for wine tasting for an extra 5 lari — totally worth it! The staff were friendly and spoke English, which made everything easy to navigate. I came here 7 months pregnant, and while the walk up was a bit challenging, it was definitely worth the effort. Highly recommend visiting!

This beautiful old cave town is an incredible place to visit. The massive rocks look stunning, especially with the autumn trees providing color, but be warned: the climbing is hard and slippery.
ANTHONY A — Google review
If you're visiting Tbilisi, you can come to Uplistsikhe on a day trip. Most people spend around an hour here before moving on to another place, but you can easily stay here for half a day and have lunch at the foot of the hills. Uplistsikhe is spectacular and must be enjoyed slowly and hopefully without the big tourist hordes. Most organized tourist tours arrive around lunchtime. If you don't want the lunchtime hordes, come in the early morning or the late afternoon.

Such a lovely place! We came for a drink and decided to stay for dinner. The menu is extensive and also has vegetarian options. I really enjoyed the bean stew with brine vegetables. The aubergine and peppers with walnuts were also delicious. The side of fries was very big and can definitely be shared with multiple people. The cafe has lovely seating area inside and semi inside. Service was fast, the staff very friendly and helpful.

If I could give them zero I would! The coffee was watery, the iced Americano and latte had no ice, even though we specifically asked for it and the service was sour and rude. We asked for the ice 3 times and it never arrived. We were the only customers mind you. When we asked for the bill and pulled out our credit card, there was a firm NO CARD....until we found the card machine on the table. I just don't understand how you could enter the hospitality industry and have such contempt for customers!

Georgian restaurant
If you find yourself in Gori, especially after a visit to the Stalin Museum, make sure to stop by Chinebuli. This charming restaurant is conveniently located just across the street and offers an extensive menu filled with delightful Georgian dishes at wallet-friendly prices. While the ambiance may initially seem a bit stark, it quickly transforms into a welcoming space as more diners arrive.
Very nice and tasty food with different options on the menu such as salads, khinkali, cutlet and bbq. Really affordable prices and located conveniently in front of the Stalin museum. I forgot my bag and the waiter came running for 5 min after me to return it, great Georgian hospitality compared to other places :)
Sonia R — Google review
The food was okay, not extremely delicious like what people said here. It is conveniently located in front of the Stalin museum so it’s naturally a place for tourists. What is far from acceptable is their so called service (plus they charge 10% service fee). They don’t have a multiple dishes that we would like to order, that’s fine. So we wanted to add more “dumplings”. The guy looked at us with surprise. He then asked the female waitress, he turned to us and said it will take longer and we said OK. So our first “dumplings” arrived and we waited for like 15 mins for another batch to arrive. I suspected they didn’t even place the order so I went up and asked. The waitress like was “no”. No what? And you don’t even tell your customers that the order was not placed. You just said it will take longer. Could have just told us not possible. And what if we really wanted the dumplings? Completely ridiculous. Also, they just randomly gave you “lemonade”. It’s just random soda. It’s not even lemonade. If you do not want to serve people then just make it self-serve. Don’t even try to charge service fee because there is none.
Sonia F — Google review
The food was OK, until I found a nice, long, curly hair in my soup. Service was OK, until the server wanted us to pay for the food that we couldn't eat, after realising the poor hygiene standard(s) at this restaurant. Needles to say, they didn't looked surprised when I told the server about the hair in the food. Almost felt as it is normal for them.

We visited this restaurant next to the Stalin Museum for lunch. Unfortunately, there were three intoxicated customers who were shouting loudly, breaking glasses and plates, and completely ruining the atmosphere. What was even more disappointing was that the management did nothing to handle the situation and didn’t even call the police to have them removed. Although the food quality was relatively good, the overall dining experience was very unpleasant due to the disruptive environment and poor management.

Really delicious. Recommend the beans in a pot; big portion very cheap and tasty. The khinkahli were amazing with meat and 3 vegi options. Chachapuri also very tasty. Right next to the Stalin museum and very good prices. Recommend 100%
Nadia — Google review
We found this restauran in Gori Georgia. The food taste was delicious, specially khinkali with meat. We've tested khinkali in almost each region in Georgia, but we must admit this one is the best. Perfect. But unfortunately the adjarian kachapuri wasn't Expected like this. Usually Georgian put only yolk on top of it, but this one, the put whole egg on top, and not cooked enough, so it made the kachapuri looks unattempting. Sorry. Its our opinion. I don't know about others. We ate khinkali, Pork BBQ, chicken BBQ, adjarian kachapuri and caesar salad.

Specialty Museums
The Stalin Museum in Gori is a popular tourist attraction, showcasing a collection of photos, art, and memorabilia from the life of the notorious Communist Party leader. While it primarily focuses on Joseph Stalin's early years and rise to power, the museum has been criticized for its lack of balanced presentation regarding his career and deeds. Visitors can explore the halls filled with memorabilia and even see the small house where Stalin lived during his early childhood.
A place where imternational poeple.love to visit. Mainly visitors are from China, Japan, India or poeple who are wise enough to understand the work and influence of Son of Gori (place) J. Stalin. I recommend to visit to know about Joseph Stalin. Do not visit if you expect some old tank or armors of Stalin. Its just pictire museum of local boy.
Dr M — Google review
The museum has a very pleasant atmosphere and a lot of potential. However, many of the photos and artifacts lacked complete or detailed descriptions, which made it difficult to fully appreciate their historical context. With some improvements in providing more thorough explanations, this place could easily become a truly professional and outstanding museum.
Amir T — Google review
Museum is full of cool objects from Stalin’s life, however the organisation of the museum is not very easy to digest and there is not much english to read for the photos and descriptions. Plus the power went out towards the end of our tour so it was a little difficult to see some of the pictures. Overall, if you know a decent amount about Stalin and the Soviet Union then its worth a visit. Entry was 15 GEL so not too bad.
Redpanda — Google review
Visited this place as part of a day tour. 15 GEL entry fee, credit cards accepted. Thank goodness we had a live guide, as she added a lot to the experience. Obviously Stalin is not a popular figure in much of Georgia. Our guide largely echoed those sentiments.
Jon W — Google review
Very interesting museum. Birthplace of the Georgian man who became known to the world as Stalin. It is not a celebration of his life as many could expect, it does also criticise its controversial legacy. Many interesting artifacts including the bullet-proof trained Stalin used to travel around, including to the Yalta conference of 1945.
Daniele C — Google review
“A glimpse into history, even without stepping fully inside ✨” We visited the Stalin Museum in Gomi on a weekday and were surprised at how busy it was. Since we didn’t buy a ticket, we only explored the areas at the entrance, but even there you can already see quite a bit that gives you a taste of the museum’s historical collection. While it was crowded, it’s still an interesting stop if you’re nearby, and the fact that you can experience some parts without paying makes it accessible to everyone. – Genuine Gems Overview – ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price Paid: Free 💎 A Genuine Gem?

Genuine M — Google review
This museum, located in Stalin's hometown, is entirely dedicated to telling the story of the communist leader. The main collection is housed in an imposing palace of Stalinist Gothic architecture and is filled with photos, documents, gifts he received, and personal items. A guided tour is highly recommended, as the context provided by the guide changes the perception of the visit, since the exhibition itself can feel like a glorification of his figure, without much critical space. In the outdoor area, you can visit the original house where Stalin lived during his childhood. It is a very small wooden cabin, which is now protected by a large stone structure, almost like a temple. Admission to the museum is paid, and they accept card payments.
Luana B — Google review
It was ok. Lots of old pictures of Stalin, a little bit about the Gulags and some personal belongings. Glad to have been, would not go back again. Most descriptions in Russia and Georgian. Free wifi. We were able to leave our suitcase at security which was nice. The building itself was architecturally interesting. His old house is being renovated so it fences off. The train carriage was my personal highlight.

Park
Gori's Stalin Park is a notable attraction that showcases various reminders of the former dictator. Situated in the city center, it features the renowned Stalin Museum, as well as other points of interest such as the war museum and an impressive relief sculpture. While the park may appear somewhat dated, it exudes a fitting ambiance for its surroundings. Although not particularly bustling with activities, it provides a pleasant environment for leisurely strolls.
Huge park area in the centre of the city. Clean and well maintained, when we visited, there was some function going on with school students dancing and music and all. Nice place for the town to spend weekends at.

This is a well kept nice historical place. You can know the era much better. The park is very nice, Stalin's house is very authentic and the vagon is well maintained. The museum is very rich it is well worth a visit.

There is a museum dedicated to Stalin as he was born in Gori. I did not enter the museum instead spent some time in the garden and the main square about 100 metres from the museum. There is a world war time train made as a museum that is accessible with the museum ticket. The large hallway of the museum is something caught my attention and I clicked some pictures of it. Good to make Instagram reels

The park is so beautiful and next to the Stalin Museum. Gori is well planned and so green city. Unfortunately, we missed close time of the Stalin Museum, so did not see inside of the museum. However, we saw Stalin's train car, his statue and his house.

“A peaceful stroll through history in the heart of Gomi ✨” Stalin Park is a small but pleasant place to walk through, especially on a warm summer day. While it’s not a large park, it makes up for it with its historical hot spots, including the Stalin Wagon and the Stalin Museum. It’s a nice way to connect the different landmarks while enjoying a relaxed stroll. – Genuine Gems Overview – ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price Paid: Free 💎 A Genuine Gem? Yes!

Stalin Park is located in front of the Joseph Stalin Museum in Gori, Georgia. This park is not only beautiful but also historically significant. There's a small house in the park where Joseph Stalin lived until he was 16 years old, before moving to Tiflis (now Tbilisi) for theological studies. The house and the museum provide a fascinating glimpse into the early life of Stalin. If you're in Gori, this park and museum are definitely worth a visit for a dose of history amidst a pleasant setting.

This is one of those dichotomies in life. Probably one of the most evil men in the 20th century. This is his birthplace home also connected to a museum which I didn’t go in. There’s also a rail car that he used to terrorize the world. When we were there the house was not open for a tour and I don’t know if you can go inside or not.

Georgian restaurant
Berikoni is a restaurant known for its friendly service and reasonably priced Georgian dishes. The interior is pleasant, with separate tables providing privacy. While the standard Georgian menu offers decent khinkali, the khachapuri falls short of expectations. However, the delicious food, particularly the khinkali with potato and cheese, makes it a recommended dining spot. The comfortable ambiance and kind staff add to the overall experience at Berikoni.
I am from Washington State USA. Let me just say that if you want good service and hospitality, Misho is your guy. Misho is professional and the perfect mix of letting you eat and tending to your needs. His service is the reason I am writing this review. The food is excellent and the atmosphere and music go along with it. Cant say enough good things.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was hands down one of the worst breakfast experiences I’ve ever had. We ordered two omelettes with ham, french toast, two pancakes with fruit, and drinks (teas and coffees with ice cream). Right away, we were told they don’t serve cappuccinos because they don’t even have proper coffee — only cheap instant coffee. That should’ve been the first red flag. After waiting far too long, the omelettes and french toast finally showed up. The omelettes were just okay, but the ham was strange and tasted unpleasant. The french toast was a complete disaster: made with terrible bread, hard, chewy, and simply inedible. The tea was just a basic teabag in hot water, nothing special at all. We kept waiting for the pancakes, but after 45 minutes they brought us uncooked waffles we never ordered. When we pointed out we had asked for pancakes, they casually told us they didn’t have the ingredients for them. Instead of apologizing, they still charged us for the waffles we never ordered. To top it all off, they slapped on a 10% service charge, even though the service was practically nonexistent. Between the long wait times, bad food, lack of basic menu items, incorrect orders, and being charged for things we didn’t order, this place is absolutely unacceptable. Avoid at all costs.

The meat is overcooked, bbq meat has nothing more except meat on the plate. Kharcho was worst in the whole Georgia, chicken soup average. Khinkali, dough was too thin, so after picking it up it couldn't handle the meat.

We came there for breakfast, attracted by good rating of this place on Google maps. Absolute scam!!! First of all the food took eternity to arrive, around 40 minutes for a breakfast dish. The food that arrived tasted awfully, "French toast" was just an old not bitable bread. The coffee was instant coffee with an awful taste, although it costed like a good cup of coffee in this city. On top of that 2 dishes and one coffee did not arrive within an hour. Then arrived a dish that we didn't order, when I pointed it out and asked if the correct dishes were being cooked, I was told "no". Then we asked for a check and found out that they included there the dish that wasn't ordered. On top of that they also included 10% service tip. There was no service whatsoever, the waiter took our order wrong, it took eternity to prepare basically only half of it, and we were misscharged. Never returning there ever again. Stay away from this place!!!!

I'm not sure if all previous reviews were based on the fact people ate on the terrace or not. By the time you stay inside, the experience is definitely changing a lot, and eating in small compartments sounds like having a secret lunch where you want to hide from the neighbor. Taking the atmosphere out of the equation, the type of lunch I had is definitely a canteen style and not a restaurant style. No garnish on the table, no clothes... Like in a canteen or in a pub. Service was quite fast, but there was almost nobody. But, as usual, the food was brought in an unordered manner, as soon as it was ready leaving me eating while my wife remained watching and vice versa. The taste was ok, but the famous Cutlets with mashed potatoes is nothing to be proud of. Spicy, soaked in oil and the mashed potatoes was very dry. New potatoes used for roasting, boiled sausages were extremely fatty. The only thing I appreciated was the Kharcho, the soup.
Andrea M — Google review
Worst service I have ever encountered. The service is done by teenagers who seem extremely bored to serve you. Some look high and others are agressive when they come to serve you. The table next to us had the same service and asked the waiter if he was ok, due to the lack of the quality of the service... Moreover, the plates came each with 20 minutes intervals so we didn't have the opportunity to share our meal together. The food is not bad but the service is so trash that I would definitely not recommend you to go to this "restaurant", if we can call it a restaurant.
David C — Google review
Great food, good service very reasonable price. English menu and English speaking waiters made ordering easy. Large terrace on second level has a view and even blankets if you get cool. As I know no beers from Georgia I asked to taste pale ale and they happily gave me two to sample. Nice cold beer on tap. I would go back. The eggplant with walnut and borji ( red bean soup- ask, it is not on the menu) were very good.

Just a short stroll from notable attractions like the Joseph Stalin Museum and Gori Fortress, guests can immerse themselves in local culture with ease. The hotel boasts a range of amenities including an inviting indoor pool, a lovely terrace, and well-maintained gardens where you can unwind after a day of sightseeing. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, ensuring that your stay is pleasant.
We stayed here for one night during our honeymoon trip in Georgia and really enjoyed it! The staff was very kind and welcoming, and they surprised us with a beautiful fruit platter and a bottle of wine as a honeymoon gift — such a lovely gesture! The hotel is cozy and nicely decorated in an old-fashioned style. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Breakfast was tasty and fresh, beautifully served. There’s also a nice, clean pool that looks great. We didn’t swim, but it seems to be heated — probably around 28–29°C — since there are swimming lessons there at certain times of the day. A really sweet place for a short and pleasant stay! 💛

Location is excellent. Rooms are decent, but lack of a fridge or a bar is very noticeable in hot summer. Pool is a bonus. Food in the restaurant is actually very good, but breakfast time had to be individually prearranged every day, which was quite inconvenient. No complaints about service.

Very rude staff. Our first experience upon entering the bathroom was the unflushed toilet of the previous guest (I won't go into details, but it was BAD). We called the reception for help, and they hung up after telling us they'd send someone over. No one came for about an hour or so. We had to call them again, and the manager came after another half an hour to "check the toilet". However, once he actually came, he refused to even go into the bathroom and told us that we'd get another room. Since we already had a bad "first impression", we politely asked the manager if he'd at least check the bathroom of the new room, which he refused. Because of our heavy luggage, we decided to stay in our room and asked for the cleaning staff to come by. Surprise, surprise, they didn't have any at that moment (it was 4pm). In the end, we had to scrub the toilet ourselves. The only good thing about this hotel was the location. That is, if you're a huge fan of Stalin (his museum is quite literally next-door). Wouldn't come here again.

It is not easy to find nice restaurant in Gori but this one is definitly worth visiting. You can sit outside and inside. Kind service. Menu mixed with european and Georgian food. I recommend the pielmieni pot, but everything is worth ordering.

Great Place to hang out in Gori. Big portions of food at an affordable price. Ordered Cutler with Potato Pasta, Pork Ojakhuri, 1 Bread and 1 L of Natural Juice, in total only 50 Lari, what a great price. Cutlet is amazing, juicy and savoury. Pork Ojakhuri is big in portion, just too much potato compared to meat, but still delicious. Bread is freshly made per order, comes in hot and moist, the only one I found during my trip in Georgia that serves hot bread. Overall, it's a great decision to choose Black star restaurant for our lunch. The Waiter is friendly and helpful giving us recommendations and service.

Excellent food, large portion and not expansive. The outdoor dining area is shaded and windy. Perfect spot for our lunch after visit to Stalin museum before heading uphill to the Gori Castle ruin at hilltop.

“A hidden garden gem where great food meets cozy vibes ✨” Resto Bar Black Stars turned out to be a lovely surprise for lunch. The restaurant has a charming garden setting, with plenty of shade under the trees that makes it a perfect spot to escape the summer heat. We ordered some khinkali, chicken, and a vegetable stew, all of which were fresh and tasty. The staff were super friendly, and the presence of a playful little kitten only added to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good Georgian food, and forget about time for a while. – Genuine Gems Overview – ⭐ Rating: 5/5 💰 Price Paid: 90 GEL 💎 A Genuine Gem? Yes!

⭐ 1 Star This was, without exaggeration, the worst burger I’ve had in over a decade. The bun was practically inedible (see video), and the overall experience left me questioning reality for a moment. I actually had to go get a “redemption burger” later that evening at another place — just to confirm that the art of making a decent burger still exists.
Payton G — Google review
Very hit and miss. Ordered 3 dishes. One was great (mushroom with Georgian cheese), one was unseasoned (salad), the other too salty (soup). Place was totally empty except us. Service was friendly but a bit aloof. They tried to put music on the TV but it kept failing, so they gave up in the end.

Georgian restaurant
Cafe-Restaurant Gamardjoba is a charming eatery located near the Uplistsikhe Cave, making it a convenient stop for a meal before or after exploring the caves. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with highlights including the Chicken Salad and Pelmeni. While some items like Ojakhuri and barbeque received praise, others such as Kebab and kharcho soup were noted for potential improvement.
Really nice and airy place for a snack or even a full meal after visiting the nearby caves. Food was flavourful, drinks cold and good, the service's English was limited, but no real problem. Recommended and good value for money!

The ambience and location was really good. It's very close to the Uplistsikhe Cave and therefore ideal for lunch before/after your visit to the caves. Chicken Salad and Pelmeni were amazing. Ojakhuri and barbeque (chicken and pork) were good. Kebab and kharcho soup could improve. The host (Helen) was very friendly and treated us really well, so did the other staffs.

Food was ok, but nothing special. The waiters repeatedly left the garden door open (because they are lazy to close it every time they go through) so every time it slammed in the wind, very annoying. The order of brought food was random - first a soup, then one main, then another soup, then another main, and the starter in the end. Finally, they pressured us to leave a review in Google with 5 stars, not cool.

Day 2

Northwest side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the northwest side side of town. Start the day off with Gori Fortress, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to George Eristavi Gori State Drama Theater. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Historical place

Perched atop a rocky hill in the center of Gori, Kartli, 'Gori Fortress' offers panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. Dating back to the 13th century, this historical stronghold played a significant role in medieval times as a military bastion. The fortress features stone terraces and lookout points that once served as defense against Mongol, Ottoman, and Persian invasions.
All things considered, this was a nice fortress. A bit of a hike to get up to. Some nice ruined castle grounds to explore, and lovely views of the surrounding towns. It had everything I needed but left me wanting more.
Matt B — Google review
🪜 Many steps to get to the top. Very unassuming entrance. We parked just at the bottom of the rampart. It was evening time at 6:30pm⌚ so we parked quite easily. 🇬🇪Once you climb to the top, there's no room or any such thing. It's an open space with flat ground, grass and 5 talk flagstaffs with Georgian flags on them. 🏔️ There's excellent views of the city and snow capped mountains in the distance. They can be seen on both sides of the fort. There is also a heavy duty fixed, dual eyed telescope to see the objects. 👎 🐕 🐕 There were 2 dogs at the top who seemed to be barking at any random person that came there. Scary. Showing teeth and everything. Didn't really bite anyone though. So just gotta be careful of them. Eventually they got fed up and went back to laze.
Abhinav K — Google review
The view is breathtaking from the top, apart from that nothing much to see, the fortress is in poor conditions. There were a guy (guard? didn't look like one) with two stray dogs, but they were sleeping in the shadow, probably too tired by the scorching sun to bark (I came around 2 pm in summer). The statues near the hill are much more impressive and worth a visit.
Anna M — Google review
The Gori Fortress is a semi-abandoned site that doesn’t offer much to see in terms of preserved structures or exhibitions, but it’s still worth a visit for the panoramic views of the city. Climbing up to the top gives you a great perspective over Gori and the surrounding landscape, making it a nice spot for a short stop while exploring the area. There is no entrance fee, and usually, a security guard with a couple of dogs can be found at the top. While the fortress itself may not have much left to explore, the views alone make it a worthwhile detour if you’re in Gori.

BEWARE OF ATTACK DOGS! How strange for the police to situate two German Shepherd attack/guard dogs at a tourist site like this. This is unique to this place. It does have great views and is well preserved, but one of the dogs actually nibbled my leg when I walked by and the police man on guard spoke no English. Please allow tourists to be free of dog bites at tourist sites.

Modern art museum
Art House is a modern gallery and installation area operated by the Gori Photographers Club. It is situated in a unique curved structure near Gori Fortress, adjacent to the monument. In the past, it functioned as the Castle Museum under Soviet rule. The purpose of bringing a group of American students here was to offer them an alternative perspective on Gori, avoiding the typical dark tourism narrative associated with Stalin's birthplace.
Very interesting art gallery which was renovated and created by local artists. We met some of the artists when we were there and they were incredibly kind and keen on telling us about the coming to be of the place and their projects. Definitely check it out and spend some time to appreciate a great project overall!

I recently had the privilege of visiting an exhibition in Gori ArtHouse Gallery. What truly struck me was how the artists, Guram Tsibakashvili and Sandro Pachuashvili, reimagined the Soviet legacy through a contemporary lens. Their ingenious use of visual language breathed new life into existing images of Soviet icons, creating a striking fusion of mixed media and pop art.
Luka C — Google review
I brought a group of American students here to see a new side of Gori than the “dark tourism” narrative of Stalin’s birthplace. After looking at the wonderful show of collages by Guram Tsibakhashvili and Sandro Pachuashvili, we took in a short presentation by Ana about the space’s larger program and goals. It is so inspiring to see such initiatives in smaller communities anywhere in the world. Please come and check out their work!

Gori Art House is a beautiful soviet era building that was saved from disrepair and turned into a special space of expression. These exhibitions that inhabit this building are quite striking.

L'avenue is a cozy and compact restaurant located near Gori, offering a variety of delicious dishes at reasonable prices. Despite its unassuming exterior, the restaurant surprises visitors with its tasty menu options, including chicken rolls, cheeseburgers, spicy Mexican potatoes, Greek salad, grilled chicken, and delectable crepe desserts. The cafe also serves excellent coffee and provides a comfortable space for medium-sized groups.
Calm and cozy place. Very friendly and welcoming staff, doing everything for the guests to make them feel comfortable. The most delicious pumpkin cream-soup I've ever tried was served by this place.

Positives: -Seating outside and inside -Comfortable seats (a few sofas) inside -A few big windows inside- can look at the view outside -Great waiter; very professional, attentive and speaks English -Great staff -Tasty iced coffees and good volume Negatives: -Waiter didn't name the drinks when he brought them over- he just gave them randomly. Because of this I had someone else's drink, and mine was given to someone -Caesar salad only had 3 chicken pieces..... It would be a lot better to increase the price a bit and add more chicken at the same time, otherwise it should just be called "lettuce salad with a hint of chicken" :/ -Squatting toilet -Only 1 toilet -Tom yam soup doesn't traditionally have noodles, but this soup did have them. Please add in the menu that the soup is with noodles. This is not a criticism necessarily, just a note -Not much seating outside Thank you nevertheless 👌❤️
Ana K — Google review
I have been to this place several times and enjoyed it every time. Their chicken rolls are delicious, and cheeseburgers are great. The crepe dessert is outstanding. They have enough space for a medium-size group of people. Overall, it is one of the nicest places in Gori with great service. However, I would recommend improving the bathroom.

Disrespectful and unprofessional. We waited for 2 drinks, a crepe and a piece of cake 40 minutes and only got it after reminding the staff twice. After that, they had the audacity to ask for a tip, even though a service fee was already added to the bill. Not a good example of the Georgian hospitality.

Rather slow service, food was okay. We had a salad, a soup and a Belgian waffle with coffee. It took a while until the food arrived, and by the time the waffle arrived we already finished our coffee. Except for the waffle that was notable, the food was fine but not remarkable. The inside of the place is quite dark which makes it feel a bit grim.

The restaurant was completely empty, yet after ordering a simple pizza, I ended up waiting for an hour before finally giving up and leaving because I had other plans. To make things worse, the waitress didn’t speak a word of English, which was surprising considering she looked quite young. Overall, terrible service, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

Great Patriotic War Museum

War museum
The Great Patriotic War Museum in Gori, Georgia is a moving tribute to the city's involvement in WWII and the 2008 conflict with Russia. While overshadowed by the nearby Stalin Museum, it offers a poignant account of the wartime events. The museum showcases martial heroism and features exhibits related to both wars. Although not all displays have English translations, guides in other languages are available. The entrance fee is affordable, making it an accessible attraction for history enthusiasts.
The Great Patriotic War Museum 🇬🇪 Pretty moving museum that's generally overshadowed by the Stalin Museum also located in this downtown square of beautiful Gori, Georgia 🤷‍♂️ Not a lot of information in English here but you get the jist pretty quickly of just what was happening here not only in World War II but also as recent as 2008 when the Russians rolled tanks all the way down here as part of their campaign to take yet another territory forcibly away from Georgia 🙈 In this museum you can see shrapnel, grenades, and a bunch of footage from the fire fights that took place just in front of this museum's location not so long ago 🤯🤯🤯
Nate A — Google review
Costs 5 lari for tourists and 3 for locals. The museum isn’t really a museum. It’s a gallery mostly because there are tons of pictures hung and a lot of long texts. There are very few actual historical items. There are not much actual physical objects that tell the history but just printed images. The lady also kept following us and randomly saying something that is already written clearly what it is. I understand the enthusiasm but might simply ask if we need any guidance instead of randomly interfering. She would come and go and randomly pop in and say the exact same thing that is written on the wall in 3 languages that I already know.

The George Eristavi Gori State Drama Theatre holds the distinction of being the first professional theatre in Georgia. Despite challenging times, it continued to showcase Georgian language productions, preserving the country's cultural heritage. The theatre remains a vibrant hub for performances, including an annual comedy festival and contemporary plays. With a rich history and notable actresses gracing its stage, this Soviet-era building also houses a museum chronicling its legacy.

I have not attended any plays in the theatre, but the building looks great even if in a bad shape. The park around it adds a great vibe.

I am literally shocked this place has high reviews. It’s horribly overpriced for the poor quality of food, and it’s nowhere near authentic Asian cuisine. The rice was wrong, the dishes were poorly made, and the soy sauce was watery. A portion of Unagi rolls costs 40 lari, which is insane! We ordered a poke bowl, rice with seafood, and unagi rolls, spending 104 lari on a takeaway order. Both the bowl and the rice with seafood went straight to the trash. We were traveling through Gori to Batumi and stopped here because the interior looked nice (still giving 3 stars as though the interior indeed was nice, the staff really wasn't), assuming it meant good quality. Instead of focusing on not letting customers with well-behaved mid-size dogs stepping in even for asking a few questions about the order process, they should pay more attention to the kitchen. For the asking price, this was one of the worst food experiences I’ve had. The rolls were okay but should be half the price. For 40 lari, I can get much better options in great places across Tbilisi and Batumi. The poke bowl was tasteless, and the rice with seafood was mostly cheap rice with vegetables and a tiny portion of mussels. The seasoning was just soy sauce, making everything tasteless and salty. Horrible. Just horrible. We stopped on a highway to buy cheap fried pies with potato for 2 lari each - even those were way better... Avoid this place if you value your money and taste buds.
Alina G — Google review
Ordered a bowl of rice with meat. Tasted fine, but the meat was chewy. Liked the serving person, welcoming, smiling, prompt and attentive. Ordered through Wolt delivery application the second time some rolls and maki. Will definitely order some more rolls in future, both the taste and size were fine. Update: recently ordered possibly the last and final time through delivery service: the order took forever, the taste was OK, the watered down soy sauce did not help. So I decided to finish my experience. Sad :-(

(Translated by Google) There are not many choices on the menu. The portions of fried rice and fried noodles are okay, but they are too salty (Georgians really eat very salty food, and local dishes are also very salty). If Asians come to eat, I suggest they use less salt. The waiters can communicate in English. (Original) 菜单选择不太多,炒饭炒面分量还行,就是做得太咸了(格鲁吉亚人真是吃得好咸,本地菜也是咸得一塌糊涂),亚洲人来吃的话建议让他们少放点盐,服务员可以英文交流。

Frustrating. Cold Khinkhali was served for eating. Kidding me?; Tasty or not, it is not a problem. At least it should be edible, cooked before served. Not only inside, but also cold bottom of the dumpling (Khinkhali) those Khinkhali were. Wow, I tried several times of Georgian dumpling, so I knew how it usually was cooked and served. Totally embarrasing situation it was. Yes, this cafe may be for just light food with tea, not like dumplings. Maybe my mistake. But I did not expect that un-cooked, cold Khinkali would be served.

I recently visited Shin da Gori and had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was delicious, offering a variety of dishes that were both flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The music added to the ambiance, creating a wonderful overall environment. I absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Our first meal on our Georgia roadtrip was here and it was lovely. Flavourful khinkali and lobio!

Really nice place that we tried on a recommendation from a travel blogger. Atmosphere - we were the only ones there and I think this was because we came out of season so the atmosphere was hard to gauge, however, I think it would have a really good atmosphere when busier at normal times. Food - we ordered quote simple dishes but wasn’t particularly impressed. The Caesar salad was a huge portion and not great whilst the kids margarita pizza was cooked on top but not enough on the base so didn’t go down well with them.

Wonderful food and kind service - the young people who are working there are super attentive, kind and speak very good English. I had a regular and the mushroom dumpling and a appetiser platter (I literally can’t remember the names in Georgian) - all super tasty. It’s possible to pay with cards and 15% service charge is automatically added to the bill, which is absolutely fine with me. My local host recommended this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint.

Not sure if they didnt like non locals visit thier restaurant or if its lack of staff. This was text book example of how not to serve customer. We were easily the largest tab for the night, but the service was way below par...forever delayed..no responses to requests. Starter that came in as the last dish served.. Ambience and live music was good indeed. But they need to scale up on service to be on par..
Bala S — Google review
Great looking place but food is average (pizza with sugary ketchup base, watery risotto), but the main complaint is what many other people have mentioned, the service. The guy was rude, didn’t listen to orders (even walking away as we were talking) leading to missing items, inattentive. Seriously why would you treat customers as enemies? A shame cos the place was cool and pianist was a gent.
Daniel — Google review
The food and atmosphere was very great. The waiter doesn't even have a hint of smile or even respond to us when we call him. This is not against him. This is on the owner of this great restaurant who doesn't have extra folks to serve the customers. Train the waiter to smile at least a bit..

We waited for food for almost an 1 hour. The food itself is so so. Not recommend. Ok, I can add the details about the food: My dish: - shin da gori (with chicken), was so so because chicken was too dry (overccoked) 2/5 Other people: - potato in pot was very bad 1/5. Not fresh or also overcooked. Several people ordered it. I tasted it also. - khinkali were good, not the best but 4/5 - phali was really bad 1/5 - meatballs with potato was good, I tasted it, 4/5 - lobio in the pot was good 4/5

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Memorial of Georgian War Heroes, located at the foot of Gori Fortress, features a collection of impressive statues created by renowned Georgian sculptor Giorgi Ochiauri. Originally placed in Vake Park in Tbilisi, these sculptures were later moved to their current location. Despite being somewhat hidden and in need of better maintenance, the statues convey a powerful and unforgettable message. Visitors can appreciate the epic and historical feel while exploring this unique site.
This was probably the singular coolest weird art that I saw in the Caucuses. I love these broken and decrepit soldiers huddled in a circle outside of a broken castle.

A really poignant memorial and the best thing to see in Gori. Beautifully made and subtlety representing the horrors of war. For some reason its hidden behind a church. This monument really deserves a better location.

Gori Ethnographic Museum

4.9
(128)
Local history museum
The Gori Ethnographic Museum, also known as the Sergi Makalatia Historical and Ethnographic Museum, was established in 1935. It houses a diverse collection including archaeological artifacts dating back to the IV-III millennia, numismatic samples, and ethnographic materials from the XVIII-XIX centuries such as carpets, rugs, Persian shawls, and gold-embroidered church garments.
A bit small, but very nice collection from stone age and bronze age. The exhibition has a good explanation in English.

It is a small museum and few people come here. The ladies are trying to make a go of it. When you come to Gori for the Stalin Museum give it a go and help the ladies out. 5 GEL.

Very good and interesting museum, especially when you compare it to Stalin Museum. I had a tour at 11:45 for just 10 Lari and it was really worth it!! I learned a lot about Georgians long history and culture.
Pascal F — Google review
Museum is located very close to the Stalin Museum, in the city center. It has a rich collection of local history from I millennium BC to XX century which contains archeological, numismatic, ethnographic, works of applied and fine arts, Georgian and Arabic epigraphic monuments, manuscripts and first-published books, documents , deepcharters, photo-archive, scientific library and periodicals. I recommend paying attention to important items such as Oxes III millennium BC, Buck for ritual drinking I millennium BC, males figures, A hearth for lighting a fire, bone pipe and many more. You should look through the richest numismatic collection in the Munzcabinet of the Museum.
Nana K — Google review
Cool little gem of Gori. Not the biggest of museums but with a well prioritized collection from this historically important region. Add to this the best English-speaking and most enthusiastic guide I've yet had the pleasure of meeting in Georgia - perhaps anywhere outside of anglo-countries. Was a truly nice experience.

Erisoni is a spacious restaurant located near the Mtkvari River in Gori. The large building features a courtyard with seating areas overlooking the river. While some visitors found the service slow, others enjoyed their experience, especially during less crowded times. The menu offers authentic Georgian dishes such as Gori Cutlets and Khinkali, which are highly recommended. The restaurant provides indoor and outdoor seating options and is known for its delicious food at affordable prices.
One of the best dining experience in gori, Georgia. We ordered beef khinkali and orange juice.Nice food and very good serving. The atmosphere was very soothingly amazing with a refreshing river flowing nearby. Really enjoyed the view and food.

🚨 Tourist Trap Alert – Beware of This Restaurant in Gori, Georgia 🚨 Our family joined a Georgia tour with MLS Travel, and this restaurant was recommended by the local Georgian tour guide, George. What was supposed to be a grand and private dining experience in the wine cellar turned into one of the worst and most disrespectful dining experiences we’ve ever had abroad. When we arrived, three dishes were already placed on the table — covered with flies. We were shocked. There were no staff in sight, and since it was a large group of 20 people, some had already started eating before realizing the situation. When we finally reached the waitress and restaurant manager, we politely raised our concern and showed them photos of the flies on the food and flying around the table. Instead of showing any sense of accountability, they dismissed our evidence, claiming that the photos “didn’t show any flies.” This was despite multiple witnesses, including their own staff, seeing the flies and us having to cover the dishes with tissue paper just to continue eating safely under such unsanitary conditions. Their excuse? “The window was open, that’s why there are flies.” No apology. No replacement. No concern for food hygiene. We only stayed because it was already 8:00 PM, and it was impossible to find another restaurant nearby that could accommodate a group of 20 at that hour. We simply had no choice but to fill our stomachs and leave as soon as possible. To make matters worse, when our tour leader later requested a partial refund due to hygiene concerns and risk of food poisoning, the restaurant threatened to call the police if the full bill wasn’t paid. This was nothing short of bullying and intimidation toward paying tourists. This experience was utterly disgraceful — not only because of the unhygienic food, but because of the rude, defensive, and unprofessional behavior of the staff and management. We left the restaurant deeply disappointed and appalled — not by Georgian culture, but by this particular establishment’s complete disregard for basic hospitality, cleanliness, and respect for customers. If you’re visiting Gori, Georgia, please avoid this restaurant at all costs. Don’t fall into the same tourist trap we did. There are far better and more authentic Georgian dining experiences — this place is not one of them.

Marhaba 👋 They do have a great variety of food options available, with very good prices that are quite reasonable. The location of this restaurant is truly amazing, situated right beside a beautiful river, providing a serene and picturesque setting. There is ample parking available on-site, which is very convenient, and the overall atmosphere is quite family-friendly. However, while the food selection is diverse and the prices are attractive, I personally rated the food quality itself as a 3 out of 5, as I've had meals at some other restaurants that featured higher quality ingredients and more flavorful preparations.

Where to eat

Under a 6-minute walk from Gori Ethnographic Museum, here are a few close by recommendations for when you get hungry exploring around.

Anna's Guest House

(131)
Hotel
Family restaurant
Inn
Nestled in the heart of Gori, Anna's Guest House offers a delightful blend of comfort and charm. Just a short stroll from the Joseph Stalin Museum and within easy reach of Gori Fortress, this guesthouse is perfect for those looking to explore the area. Guests can indulge in relaxing onsite massages or unwind on the terrace surrounded by lush gardens. The warm-hearted host, Anna, ensures that every visitor feels right at home with her attentive service and delicious breakfasts.
Anna's was the perfect location from which to explore Gori (Stalin Museum and fort) and also hop off for the caves at Uplistsikhe which are about a 20 minute drive away. Anna is an excellent host, sets out a superb breakfast spread and pours a nice glass of Georgian wine. Comfy beds in a basic and quiet room with bathrooms down the hall.
Leon S — Google review
had a great stay here! The place was nice and clean, and the host was very friendly and welcoming. It’s a simple, comfortable space in a great location—close to the city center, which made it easy to explore. We also enjoyed some guest wine during our stay, which was a really nice touch. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing place to stay.
Daniel O — Google review
Anna is doing her best to give the guests a great experience. We came with 2 motorbikes and were even allowed to park them inside! In our case this was perfect as in the night a huge thunderstorm passed over Gori. The rain was so strong that the water was flowing through the lower level of the house. It also made it impossible for us to go to town to have some dinner. Thankfully Anna prepared us a quick meal and even gave us a bottle of Georgian white wine. The house is quite large and it is well kept. We were also very happy that Anna could wash our clothes. We had breakfast with the other residents. It was great to have a chat with the other travellers. All in all a very pleasant experience! Specially also for a biker like me.

Anna is very sweet and takes care of all your needs Pro Fridge for use Common kitchen to make tea Good and friendly host Warm hospitality Cons We got room with windows towards inside of the house, room was bit suffocating More of an old soviet construction while it was refurbished but will suit the basic needs Beds were very uncomfortable , spring beds which caves in when you try to sleep, while blanket was very comfortable, couldn't sleep the whole night Very basic breakfast boiled egg, bread butter and tea No electric kettle in the room.Have to come down to ground floor to use everytime, difficult for specially someone who require hot water for drinking in the night. Common washroom for all the rooms, though washroom is very clean. Maybe bit more amenities in the room will make stay more comfortable

We felt super welcome in Anna’s guesthouse. She is a very warm-hearted person who does everything to make sure you are comfortable. The house is a beautiful soviet-era building with large and beautiful rooms. The location is close to the Stalin Museum, which makes it a good place if you want to walk around Gori. The breakfast Anna made for us was delicious. When we come back to Georgia, we would definitely stay at Anna’s guesthouse again. Thank you Anna! And thank you Anna’s mother!

(Translated by Google) We went there for our birthday - but we hadn't asked around much. As a previous speaker said, it is in a kind of circus tent building, at least from the outside but also partly from the inside. Is located directly at the Gori Inn Hotel. The most important thing - the food: we were there with 6 people. As soon as we ordered we were told - we could only order a tomato salad, otherwise there were no tomatoes 😑🤦‍♂️ we are in Georgia and a restaurant doesn't have tomatoes??? - should have gone straight away but ok. Shashlik was also too dry, cheese too. Many other things aren't much better either. We paid a lot of money - of course compared to other restaurants in Georgia. This is definitely oriented towards tourists and definitely not worth the money. However, the bar outside was ok and service was friendly. There was also live music on our evening. A lady sang - it was okay from the point of view of singing, but the volume?!?! You could feel the music in your whole body, which was very uncomfortable - you could hardly hold a conversation. We sat in the back but felt like we were sitting right in front of the box. Way too loud!!! Horrible. Furthermore, there are far better shops and restaurants in Gori for half the money. A disappointment and not worth the money - at most maybe the bar outside. (Original) Wir hatten uns zum Geburtstag dorthin auf den Weg gemacht - hatten uns allerdings nicht sonderlich umgehört. Wie eine Vorrednerin sagte ist es in einem Art Zirkuszelt - Gebäude, zumindest so von außen aber auch teils von innen. Ist direkt an dem Gori Inn Hotel gelegen. Das Wichtigste - das Essen: wir waren mit 6 Leuten da. Gleich bei der Bestellung sagte man uns - wir könnten nur einen Tomaten Salat bestellen, da sonst keine Tomaten da sind 😑🤦‍♂️ wir sind in Georgien und ein Restaurant hat keine Tomaten??? - hätten eigentlich gleich gehen sollen aber ok. Shashlik war auch zu trocken, Käse ebenfalls. Vieles andere auch nicht viel besser. Wir haben eine Menge Geld bezahlt - natürlich im Vergleich zu anderer Restaurants in Georgien. Das ist definitiv mMn an Touristen orientiert und auf keinen Fall das Geld wert. Die Bar draußen war allerdings ok und Service freundlich. Am unseren Abend gabs ebenfalls Live Musik. Eine Dame hat gesungen - vom Singen war’s ok, aber die Lautstärke?!?! Man hat die Musik im ganzen Körper gespürt, was sehr unangenehm war - unterhalten konnte man sich kaum noch. Wir saßen hinten aber fühlten uns als ob wir direkt vor der Box saßen. Viel zu laut!!! Grauenhaft. Des Weiteren, gibt es für die Hälfte des Geldes weit aus bessere Läden bzw Restaurants in Gori. Eine Enttäuschung und nicht das Geld wert - höchstens vielleicht mal die Bar draußen.

(Translated by Google) The restaurant consists of two parts: a "dressing room" with a bar and the main round large hall, where they do not allow you to dine (I know from reviews that in the evening there is live music and in general it is very noisy and loud, we decided to come during the day only for lunch. In the small hall, men at the next table were loudly making toasts, this was a little disturbing. The restroom was amazing! Better than the hall) We did not wait long for our order, the new waitress Regina tried and was very polite. Thanks to her, we liked it. Ossetian khachapuri (12 lari) was very salty ... From the menu - only drinks differed in price. Overall, it was ok) (Original) Ресторан состоит из двух частей: "предбанник" с баром и главным круглым большим залом, куда обедать не впускают( По отзывам знаю, что вечером живая музыка и вообще очень шумно и громко, решили прийти днём только на обед. В малом зале мужчины за соседним столом громко говорили тосты, это немного мешало. Уборная поразила! Лучше, чем зал) Заказ ждали недолго, новенькая официантка Регина старалась и была очень вежлива. Благодаря ей, нам понравилось. Хачапури по-осетински (12 лари) был очень солёный...От меню - только напитки отличались по цене. В целом норм)

Nikala is a restaurant in Gori that offers tasty food and a friendly atmosphere. The staff is generally nice, but there were some instances of slow service and language barriers. The rooftop setting provides a nice ambiance for dining. While the music volume may be too high for some, it's still enjoyable to see locals having fun. The menu features authentic Georgian cuisine, and the house wine comes highly recommended.
Good ambience and tasty food. Authentic Georgian cuisine options to try in Gori. Servers were nice and explained what should be order.

I asked for a soup (13), the waitress recommended a (small) "Katchapuri kebab" to go along with that, and the Katchapuri kebab ended up costing more (19) than the soup. Plus 17% service fee. It ended up costing more than places in Tbilisi touristy areas. Food had decent flavor, but expensive for such small portions. I don't like those "tourist trap" type of restaurants.

Gori Bus Station

Bus ticket agency
Gori Bus Station is conveniently located near the city center, making it easily accessible for travelers. From here, you can catch marshrutkas to various villages around Gori and even municipal buses from the city center. The station also offers mini-bus services to Tbilisi and surrounding villages at regular intervals, with fares typically ranging from 2-4 laris. Travelers have found the station to be comfortable and a convenient hub for reaching destinations like Uplistsikhe and Batumi.
This bus station is near to the city center and from here you can go almostly in any village around Gori. Also, municipal busses go there from the center. Mini buses go from there to Tbilisi, around villages comnly in evere hour. Price about 2-4 laris. Very comfortable

Like practictly every other bus station in Georgia you'll have to asked the people here for the schedule of the bus, better to have a traductor because nobody speak english ! The station is also really far from the city center a good 35 minutes walk, a bus to get here might be a good idea

I do not recommend taking a minibus to Uplistsikhe settlement from Gori bus station, it stops everywhere around the city, then runs through two villages and gets back to Gori, last departure from Gori is around 17:30. You will have to walk along the highway to get to the museum and the settlement. If you miss the last minibus, go to Kvakhvreli train station and take a train either to Gori or Tbilisi. The train to Tbilisi passes around 19:15, train to Gori - 20:00.

LAST MARSHURTKA TO TBILISI LEAVES AT 17:50. If you miss it, go the the palace of justice and grab a shared minivan for 7 GEL, and also to get there grab any bus in front of the station (1.5 GEL).

(Translated by Google) Although it is located at the intersection, I think this square is a good place for children, more or less trees, shade, water, swings, both the child's owner and the child can relax and unwind a little.

Gori Public Service Hall is a modern building in Gori, offering a high level of service. It provides convenient public transport from Tbilisi to Gori at a cost of 7 GEL for a one-way journey. Despite occasional queues, the service is commendable. The hall's beautiful and innovative structure has significantly improved the quality of services previously unavailable in the area.

Gori Railway Station

Train station
Gori Railway Station serves as a crucial center on the nationwide rail route, accommodating numerous locomotives from both the Soviet-era and more recent times. Though the lavatories emit an unpleasant odor reminiscent of decaying flesh, there is a satisfactory variety of beers available nearby. Notably, inside the station stands a statue dedicated to Uncle Jay, contributing to an overall commendable encounter.
The toilets smell like a rotting carcass but there's a good selection of beers across the road. Statue of Uncle Jay inside the station. Overall excellent experience.

I took a train from Gori to Kutaisi, it takes almost 5 hours, cost 8 lari. Train is really old, goes really slow, no air conditioning, there’s a toilet but I didn’t risk to use it... There are seats with just a wall instead of a window, so almost 5 hours of no views in a hot train is not worth it... (picture with my hand and “amazing” views is attached)... If I knew its going to be so uncomfortable I would take marshrutka (mini bus) instead, it takes only 2 hours. Train stops for 10 minutes between Gori and Kitaisi, there is time to buy a water and snacks. Very limited space in a train, people travel even with bicycles and children’s carriages, huge suitcases, this train barely can fit all this.

Orthodox church
St. George's Church, also known as the Church of the Virgin Mary, is a historic site located in Kintsvisi Monastery. Dating back to the 10th century, it is renowned for its well-preserved frescoes depicting Hodegetria and Communion of the Apostles. Although time and structural damage have taken a toll on its original artwork, this ancient church still exudes an air of magnificence. Perched atop a mountain, St.
This is a great place. The small church sits on the mountain. It's always windy here, but you can see gorgeous landscapes if you hike here from Gori. The walking path is about 2.5 kilometers long from Gori. You can also drive or take a local taxi to get there through Didi Gorijvari.

The church at Gori Jvari stands on a outcropping of rocks and can be seen from practically anywhere in Gori. Originally built in the 12th century, it was burned down by the Turks, rebuilt, and destroyed again by an earthquake in 1920. The current church was built in the 1980s.

Family restaurant
KE&RA is a hidden gem of a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. Located in a small garage, the atmosphere is unlike any other. What sets KE&RA apart is the personal touch provided by the owner, George, who ensures that every guest feels welcome and special. The restaurant not only excels in ambiance but also delivers delicious homemade food prepared by George, his wife, and mother-in-law who showcase their culinary skills.
From the moment I stepped into this restaurant, I knew I had found something truly special. The atmosphere is unlike any other – cozy, welcoming, and filled with character. It's the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. One of the highlights of the experience is undoubtedly the owner. Warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do, they go above and beyond to make every guest feel like part of the family. It's rare to find such hospitality these days, and it truly sets this place apart. Now, let’s talk about the food – absolutely outstanding! Every dish is made with love and bursting with flavor. Whether you're a fan of classic comfort food or something a bit more adventurous, there's something on the menu that will leave you completely satisfied. You can tell that only the freshest ingredients are used, and the attention to detail is second to none. And as if that wasn’t enough – the restaurant is also home to the most adorable cats!

Located in a picturesque riverside setting, Restaurant Fish House offers a unique dining experience with its expertly prepared fresh fish. The Georgia salmon is a standout dish, cooked to perfection and allowing the natural flavors to shine through. Visitors can also enjoy other delicious options like traout in the oven, Imeretian khachapuri, Mexican potatoes, and salmon nuggets. The attentive service and individual atmosphere add to the overall appeal of this restaurant.
It has many kinds of fish to select for cooking such as trout, salmon, sturgeon, and herring. This is the first time I have eaten grilled sturgeon fish. It's great but I like herring the most. All dishes are great tasting and great price. By the way, you must have time to wait for food. Service is great as well. We ordered a lot but it's just 360 lari

We came all the way from Las Vegas because we’ve heard about the place. With no reservation the nice manager got us a table and we had the best salmon we ever had.! Fresh Catch and Flawless flavor. We were truly impressed. The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Every dish—from the grilled salmon to the Georgian salad was beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh seafood and a memorable dining experience!

Not to be missed if you happen to be near Gori. It is a paradize for those who love fish and seafood. A big choice of dishes, a very good service and a friendly atmosphere. We tried mussles, salmon steak and calmari rings - excellent. The portions are bigger than expected. There is also a shop (in fact two shops): one sells fresh fish which is caught, weighed and cleaned on the place. In the other shop you will find caviar, and varios kinds of smoked fish, etc.

Wine cellar
Winery
Gogi Dvalishvili Wine Cellar is a charming spot in Gori, Georgia, where you can savor the renowned Georgian wine and indulge in a delightful tasting session paired with delicious local cuisine. The cozy and rustic setting offers a warm ambiance for enjoying an array of wines, from sweet reds to crisp whites. This homestay features a garden, shared lounge, and restaurant, providing guests with traditional Georgian hospitality.
Gogi's stay is one of the best homestays I've stayed in at Georgia. They have a personal vineyard, winery and honey farm. The house is in a residential locality which is peaceful. (Just beware of the dogs if you are out at night) We opted for dinner and it was so worth it! Gogi and family filled the table with delicacies (the trout was super yummy). Breakfast was included and it was superb too. The hall has lots of books in Gerogian. The bathroom could be a bit larger. The place has been kept spotlessly clean too. Highly recommended if you are in Gori for a stopover or visit to Uplistshike.

I wanted to share what a fantastic experience we had staying at Gogi’s place. Gogi is a truly kind and welcoming host. He and his wife prepare a delicious dinner for us, accompanied by several kinds of local wine. The breakfast was excellent. Ifyou couldn’t finish, Gogi happily packed it for takeaway. He even gave us a tour of his lovely garden and bee farm, which was a really unique and enjoyable touch. ❤️❤️ I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm, authentic, and memorable experience.

We had a lovely experience. This is a family winery besides a guest house and we strongly recommend you to do the wine degustation. The wine is really special and in very limited editions. The family is handling the process meticulously and with lots of attention. The owner Tengo speaks very well English and Italian and he really takes time to explain the story of the wine production they do. We stayed there one night, the place is quiet, peaceful, clean and has a view to their lovely yard. They offer also very nice Georgian breakfast with house produced honey. The place is also close to the historical landmark Uplistsikhe and if you are planning a trip there, we strongly recommend you to stay at this family home 💗

Gogi is the perfect host. He invited us for wine tasting, then added some bread and cheese to the table, and wouldn’t accept any money for it. He said it was a surprise :) Room is small, but very clean. Breakfast was simple and delicious. We loved our stay and strongly recommend this place.

My wife had visited Gogi Dvalishvili Wine Cellar a couple of times before, and for years she had been telling me about this wonderful place and the people behind it. I always wanted to experience it myself, and yesterday, on my birthday we finally went together with my wife and our two minor children. I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. Mr. Gogi, his son, and their entire family welcomed us with such kindness. We enjoyed tasting different types of wines while listening to the fascinating stories and history behind each one. It was not just about wine, but also about feeling the warmth of true Georgian hospitality. Our 4-year-old son had an amazing time as well, playing with Mr. Gogi’s nephew who is about the same age. It was a lovely glimpse into authentic Georgian village life, full of warmth and joy. The wine cellar itself is clean, friendly, and filled with a great aura. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, no matter your age. Visiting Gogi Dvalishvili Wine Cellar is not just about tasting excellent 100% natural Georgian wines, but about sharing the spirit of a remarkable family and culture.

Samepo Street

Nestled in a tranquil neighborhood, Samepo Street offers a fascinating glimpse into the remnants of the Soviet era. As you stroll along this quiet lane, you'll encounter echoes of its bustling past through vintage signage and structures. One notable sight is the half-abandoned hotel adorned with a weathered sign reading "Kartli" in both Russian and Georgian, serving as a nostalgic reminder of days gone by. Exploring Samepo Street is like stepping back in time, where history whispers from every corner.

Foods take a long time to be prepared. The beef was quite stiff, the chicken was bone more than meat and the cheese was very salty. Menu is pretty wrong in terms of English translation and most dishes were not translated at all. We were taken here as part of the tour but I was not satisfied at all.

I recently visited the place with a tour program, and it was an experience! 😮 I definitely wouldn't have dared to go there on my own after reading all the reviews. The service I received was quite something, with a waiter who would pretend to write your order and got it all wrong plus would tell you what to eat rather than ask what you want. When i orders a barbecue with vegetables and sauce, the sauce came first after 15min the veggies then like 20min later the barbecue, all different bill BTW, and it was tasteless. When you try to explain or give feedback about the service they just ignore you and the guide who took us there defend them, because they probably work with commission. NEVER EVER GO THERE. If the tour guide takes you just order coffee,water or nothing it's worthless place.

Very disappointing experience. Felt like a tourist trap. The food quality was not good overall — the pork BBQ was just okay, but the khinkali took 45 minutes to arrive. By the time they served it, our wine was almost finished, and our other order still hadn’t arrived. Service was slow and disorganized. This is the first restaurant in Georgia that truly disappointed us. Avoid this restaurant.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My visit to The Terrace Gori was hands down the most disappointing restaurant experience I’ve ever had , not just in Georgia, but anywhere in the world. Let’s break it down: 😏😱Food Quantity: Laughable. The portions were so tiny I genuinely thought it was a joke. You leave hungrier than you came in. 🤢 Service: Disrespectful, careless, and incredibly slow. It felt like we were doing them a favor by being there. 🤑Prices: Completely unjustified. Ridiculously overpriced for the poor quality and miserable portions they serve. 😮Atmosphere: Looks nice on the outside – don’t be fooled. The energy inside is cold, unwelcoming, and far from what you'd expect. 🍒And the cherry on top? They brought the bill in Georgian only – no English, no explanation, just numbers and letters we couldn’t even read. A total lack of respect and transparency. Save your time, money, and mood skip this place🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️.

If you're exploring Georgia and looking for a delightful dining experience, look no further than the restaurant "კერია." This charming eatery is perfect for groups or those on excursions, offering an extensive menu that features both traditional Georgian dishes and popular international favorites like pizza and fries. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied without breaking the bank. With prices ranging from 5 to 40 GEL, it's an affordable option that doesn't compromise on quality.
Great restaurant, one of the best we were eating in Georgia. Everything we ordered was very tasty. The service was outstanding, and the prices are lower than in other places. Highly recommended!!!

It really wasn't a great experience. Meat was not grilled on coal, rather in oven. It was tasteless. Service was so-so and prices were rather higher for Georgia. Really can't recommend.
