When visiting Metekhi Church, dress modestly to respect local customs—covering shoulders and knees is advised. The church’s interior is relatively simple, but its serene atmosphere is a highlight. Be prepared for crowds, especially during weekends and religious holidays. Since the site is open-air, bring a hat or umbrella depending on the season to stay comfortable.

Metekhi Church is easily accessible from Tbilisi's city center and Old Town. It’s a short walk from Meidan Square, and the path is well-marked. Public buses and the Metro (Avlabari station) are convenient options. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Bolt or Yandex can drop you right at the site. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can walk along the riverbank to the church.

The church is open year-round, but early mornings and late afternoons are the best times to visit. These periods offer fewer crowds and softer light for photography. During Sunday services or religious holidays, the church comes alive with traditional liturgies, providing a unique cultural experience, though it may be less suitable for casual sightseeing during those times.

A visit to Metekhi Church pairs well with exploring the surrounding Old Town. After admiring the church and its views, walk down to the riverfront or visit the nearby sulfur baths. Cross the Bridge of Peace for a modern touch to your itinerary or head to Rike Park to take the Aerial Tramway to Narikala Fortress. It’s a great way to experience Tbilisi’s blend of history, culture, and stunning landscapes.
