Gori is a small city in Georgia lying 80 kilometres west of the capital, Tbilisi. It is the birthplace of Joseph Stalin.
My suggestion
When you visit Gori, spend an afternoon at the cave town of Uplistsikhe, which lies around 20 minutes from the city by minibus.

Situated in the heart of the country, Gori is famous for being the birthplace of Georgia's most famous man: Joseph Stalin.
My suggestion
At only 30km from South Ossetia, Gori was deeply affected by the 2008 conflict, when it was bombed by Russia and saw much of its population flee into exile. It's a sensitive topic, as you can well imagine.
