Visa-free niche fun in Europe - you must visit Sighnaghi at least once!

Sighnaghi in Georgia, the birthplace of red wine. The town is on top of a mountain, and you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The architecture here is beautiful, with history and culture, and the scenery is also very beautiful, worth a visit. About the route: It is possible to enter Georgia from Azerbaijan, and I took the route from Baku to Sighnaghi. 1 Get on the minibus at Sheki bus station at 10:10 in the morning, it's a very small bus, and if there are many people, you might not get a seat if you arrive late, as some people will get off along the way. Marshrutka to Balakan, marshrutka to the border. 2 After arriving at the border, get off the bus, there is a kiosk at the immigration where you can exchange currency, and it's calculated at the international exchange rate, which is very cost-effective. Or you can withdraw money with UnionPay after passing the border, exchange or withdraw a little to facilitate later transportation. 3 The queue for crossing the border is very simple, just get stamps on both sides. 4 After exiting the border, you can take a taxi, we pooled together 4 people and took a taxi for 40 lari to Sighnaghi, the journey is less than an hour. Departing from Sheki at 10:10 in the morning, arriving in Sighnaghi at 2:40 in the afternoon, it takes 4 and a half hours. The town is not big and can be explored in half a day, main attractions: Best photo spot Sighnaghi Viewpoint The Great Wall Sighnaghi Wall Museum Sighnaqi National Museum Church Signagi St. George basilica 5 Monastery Bodbe's St. Nino's Convent Cathedral is a 3 km drive away, worth visiting if you have time. About food: This Host of Signaqi Restaurant is on the hillside. The beef is very tasty, and the average cost per person is less than 20 lari. Great value for money. 2 Definitely go for the red wine, available in supermarkets and kiosks, we drank a bottle every day. Prices range from 10-20 lari, with more expensive options available. 3 The red wine ice cream at cafe Medea is 7 lari each, a bit pricey, but you can rest and enjoy the view. Accommodation recommendation: We stayed at Guest HouseCENTRAL, right next to the fountain, opposite the police station and a supermarket. A triple room is 90 lari, the room is quite new, with a fully equipped kitchen.
