Conseils d'initiés
- Dress modestly, cover shoulders and avoid loud clothing when entering the church.
- Head up at sunrise or late afternoon to avoid tour groups and catch the best light for photos.
- Take photos from the riverbank and the platform near the Vakhtang Gorgasali statue for wide panoramas, bring a wide-angle lens.
