Signagi is one of Georgia’s most romantic towns, ideal for couples, photography enthusiasts, wine lovers, and history buffs!
Must-Visit Places in Signagi
- The Ancient City Walls:
These walls stretch for about 4 kilometers and have towers along the way. The walls house a church, the Church of St. George, which you can visit while walking along the walls. It’s a lovely, historical walk that’s rich with culture. - The St. Nino Monastery:
Nestled beneath the snow-capped mountains, this monastery exudes romance. The surrounding grassy areas offer perfect spots for sitting and soaking in the stunning views.
