Recommended Length of Stay: 3.0-4.0 Hours

The Tbilisi Sulphur Bath is located in the old town of Tbilisi, on the right bank of the Kura River. The sulphur baths preserve the domed crypt-style thermal baths of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These baths not only provide hot spring services, but are also important places for local people to exchange emotions. In 1890, in the baths of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, spas were already quite popular. The aristocratic class often went to the sulfur bath, and the men would press, press, punch and pull each other after bathing to relax their bodies. Today, the leisure of the ancients can still be felt here.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trips with shanaya: Traditional sulfur baths available here. There multiple locations offering sulfur bath with varying price, size, design and structure. Royal sulphur bath is one of the famous. you can just walk in a find which suits you most. It is very healthy for the skin related problems. Going for a soak and a scrub at the sulfur baths is as much of a Tbilisi tradition as diving into a plate of Khinkali or sipping on a glass of Qvevri wine. In short, it’s one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Georgia’s capital. But – Tbilisi’s baths are very different to those in Istanbul, Budapest, or anywhere else really. To make the most of your visit (and to avoid embarrassment), it’s essential to brush up on some basic bath etiquette before you go.
