Abanotubani is one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Tbilisi. It's famous of its public sulfur baths, and very spectacular views.
I believe Tbilisi Sulphur bath district is one of the most iconic Tbilisi sights. Personally I doubt there are many tourists who have not seen Abanotubani (Tbilisi bath district) while visiting Georgian capital. Though - I believe fewer ones have actually visited them. If you are among the lucky one, please leave a comment!

About Abanotubani
Abanotubani is an ancient district of Tbilisi, Georgia, known for its sulfuric baths.
Located at the eastern bank of the Mtkvari River at the foot of Narikala fort across Metekhisubani, Abanotubani is an important historic part of the city — the place, where according to a legend the King of Iberia, Vakhtang Gorgasali’s falcon fell, leading to a discovery of the hot springs and, subsequently, to founding of a new capital.
About accessing sulphur baths
Now - speaking about getting in one of the sulphur baths - price here at Abonotubani will vary, starting 30 GEL and up for an hour. You can order some Turkish coffee or beer on site for a small fee. They provide you with sheets (towels) and shampoo's here (again for additional charge). You can even order a massage here - haven't tried - but they always offer it. Leave me a comment, if you have tried massage here.
Go, try yourself, and don't forget to leave me your comments!
