We are NWDS, an international collective of architects and researchers currently dispersed across different cities, including Tbilisi, New York, Paris, Lisbon, Dubai, and Berlin.

We would like to offer you a carefully curated list of our preferred Tbilisi treasures: these encompass lesser-known architectural landmarks, modern cultural gems, art galleries, restaurants, designer shops, botanical gardens, flea markets, public sculptures and more.

For your convenience, you can follow our recommendations on the Google Maps app, seamlessly integrating them into your Tbilisi experience.

Alternatively, you may access the map through your web browser to gain a comprehensive overview of these diverse locations.
