It originated from the word “tbili” - warm. Present-day Tbilisi is one of the safest cities in Europe,[5] and frequently ranks among the most popular emerging destinations thanks to Georgia's growing tourism industry.Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though it is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian. Notable landmarks include cathedrals like Sameba and Sioni, the medieval Narikala Fortress, classical avenues Rustaveliand Agmashenebeli, as well as the exotically-designed Georgian National Opera Theater
