An amazing place!!! I really love such sights, very beautiful views! It is interesting to go through all the paths hollowed out in the rock!There is also a temple in the rock, girls, do not forget to take scarves if you want to visit!There is a wonderful cafe near the river below, you can eat and drink delicious wine to the sound of the river with beautiful views!

It's a very beautiful place. It's nice to walk around the fortress, the park, and introduce yourself to history. There is a cafe, a hotel and decent clean toilets on site. The whole area is very clean and green.

I have been here twice with a difference of 8 years. First as a guest, and then as a "guide".
Having visited many places and not only in Georgia, all that can be said about it is that it is honest and natural.
It often happens that such places lose their value as they become places of mass tourism and income generation.
Authenticity is being lost in this wave, as tourist amenities come first. The infrastructure around it and the new-made attributes are overshadowing it itself.
Vardzia is a rare exception.
I definitely recommend you to visit. Five stars out of five.

There are few hotels nearby. The average price per night is 120 GEL. Dinner was prepared from local products. The portions are not large and expensive. It's the tastiest trout I've ever tasted! Vardzia is a must-visit, as well as hot springs within a 5-minute drive. The hot springs are a barn on the river bank. Colorful . The water is amazing, it doesn't smell like sulfur.

A very beautiful fortress. Everything is clean and well maintained. I am glad that you can climb even the highest tower, look through any door. You can spend the whole day, there are many cafes on the territory.

Everything is fine, but not everywhere there are handrails.This is not suitable for people with children and with a fear of heights.the steps are generally inclined somewhere that at a height you had to hold on to the handrail with both hands.there are unfenced exits without handrails and there is either a staircase with a cliff or a passage into tunnels .a very strange security organization (why can't handrails be made everywhere?some returned. 15 lari entrance for adults , up to 6 years old discount. +. 2 lari lift by minibus.parking is 3 GEL , typically by the hour (1 hour -1 GEL).there are toilets, cafes, tents.but the best thing was the restaurant on the opposite bank of the river, 4 people for 85 GEL, it was very tasty and with a view of the city.

Definitely worth a visit. We really liked it. Admission is GEL 15 per adult. There are a lot of moves. You need to book 2 hours for a visit. A very picturesque road to the mountain caves. On the way you will meet a suspension bridge over the river. I recommend not to skip, but to walk along it, look at the views.

It was in the spring on a sunny weekday. There are few visitors, parking is free and free! Tickets are 30 lari and for 4 more, the two of us were lifted up on a large new minibus. The routes are thoroughly equipped. I was afraid it would be expensive and wild, but it turned out to be the opposite. When you walk through the burrows, replenish your strength down in the cafe, right by the stream of stormy Chickens. But the most striking impression is the incredibly delicious air in the valley. I don't want to exhale. I understand those who dug caves there.

A wonderful place from any point of view. At least from the historical, at least from the ethnographic, at least from the artistic.
Also, the village is not spoiled by tourists, and in this regard, it still retains a significant local flavor and authenticity.
I recommend visiting the time immediately after the opening, until the columns of tourist buses arrive.
If possible, pay for the services of a guide, the visit will become much more intense.
I recommend you to visit.

It's a very interesting place. It is better to come on your own to see the whole city (if you like such objects), you can take a tour on the spot. The road to the city is normal, you can drive a car. There are buses (2lari) to the city itself, but you can also walk.

The tour is very difficult, but very interesting.
For 13 hours, our international (Belgian, English, Ukrainian and 7 people from Russia) group traveled along mountain roads, walked in Borjomi-Kharagulsky Park, climbed the Vardzia mountain cave complex, and this is almost an 8-storey fortress with complex tunnels, then attacked the Rabat fortress. Tired and satisfied, returning to Tbilisi, we listened to Georgian songs performed by our guide Beso))
I recommend it to outdoor enthusiasts.

A very interesting place! Mountains, mountains!!Extraordinary beauty, amazing caves, extreme to some extent). Since it was scary for me personally to go down, I'm afraid of heights. But you don't have to look there). Inside, walk through the tunnel, feel the atmosphere of the monastery, join the history! I'm impressed!

I think that every tourist should visit Vardzia. This place is very impressive, amazing, surprising. You ask yourself questions that you don't have answers to. And what beautiful views open from the height! To walk through all the corners of Vardzia, you need to have a decent amount of time and stamina.

One star only because of the steps and for more people to read the review!
1) There are a lot of steps! Especially at the end of the road.
2) There are handrails not everywhere.
3) Some steps are cramped and because of which you can slip.
4) In places, you have to move down the steps (and not only).
And at the end of the way, you collect combos: you walk bent over the cramped steps without handrails and the only thing you will grab when falling is a 220V wire. And we also got caught in the rain.
Excursion: we took a guided tour in Russian.
Verdict: if everything is OK with your knees, you will most likely like it. The views are beautiful.

Я только что прочитал о Вардзии в самом большом справочнике-каталоге о Грузии, Madloba.info. Это место выглядит невероятно! Я всегда мечтал посетить этот древний монастырь, и теперь я еще больше вдохновлен поехать туда. Описания его уникальной архитектуры и богатой истории вызывают истинное восхищение. Надеюсь, скоро осуществлю свою мечту и пройдусь по его стенам, чтобы насладиться неповторимой атмосферой Вардзии.

A fantastic place, a must see. It is impossible to convey in words! There is a water source inside, but it is important to take water with you, it is difficult to go uphill. It takes at least 2 hours to get around everything. If you are very afraid of heights / you have claustrophobia - it is better not to take risks. It is better to take an audio guide or a guide, you will learn a lot of interesting things. There is a cafe and a toilet downstairs. Admission is GEL 15 for adults, children up to 6 are free.

Крутое место! Рекомендую к полному осмотру. Были с детьми от 15 до 3х лет. Есть достаточно стремные места. Если боитесь высоты или у вас клаустрофобия, предупредите об этом гида и двигайтесь с осторожностью.
На верху есть питьевые фонтанчики.
Крайне не рекомендую ресторан внизу. Хороший вид на веранде над речкой НО! Отвратительная кухня. Это худший ресторан в Грузии за 15 лет посещения этой страны. Безобразно не вкусно + вам ВКЛЮЧАТ 25% чаевых.

When you drive along the road to Vardzia, you cannot pass this fortress in passing, it can be seen from afar. The place is very beautiful, the safety is decent. Entrance for inspection is 10 lari, a ticket is issued. One drawback is that you don't learn much without a guide, and there are no banners with a description and historical information of the object in Russian, although most tourists are Russian-speaking.

были летом, в начале августа. жарко. но! после 10 минутного подъёма наверху есть фонтанчик! воду нести не надо, ну или если только чуть-чуть. наверху прохладнее, особенно в церки и в тоннелях. про красоту видов и ощущения в тоннелях писать не буду, это надо прочувствовать самому. историю можно прочитать, гид излишен. а вот реально, на самом верху стаканчик вина или холодного пиво - было бы божественно.

Пещерный город Вардзиа. Не жалейте денег и заплатите за автобус,который поднимет вас от касс до входа в комплекс. Были в июле 2023. Жарко, внутри прохладно. Лучше с аудио гидом, но можно и так. Грандиозное сооружение. Интересная церковь внутри. Действующий монастырь. Берите с собой воду. После осмотра долго спускаться по лестнице. В любом случае ваши усилия не пропадут даром. Очень красиво и необычно.

Рекомендую к посещению, действующий мужской монастырский комплекс (проживают 3-4 монаха). Расположнен вдоль р.Кура, протяженность 900м. Заезжали сюда по пути из Боржоми. Сама задумка комплекса вызывает восхищение, 12 век, носил оборонное значение. 8 этажей, вмещал до 2000 человек, 50 метров в глубь скалы, имеется храм внутри. Потрясающий вид, см. Фото. По пути можно заехать в крепость Хертвиси, тоже шикарная природа виды, фото прилагаю.
