The town features 19th-century imperial architecture, including the Romanov Palace and the distinctive Firuza House. Nearby, the medieval Green Monastery and Timotesubani showcase Georgian Orthodox heritage with centuries-old stone masonry and frescoes. The region also serves as a gateway to the Bakuriani ski resort, offering diverse landscapes ranging from deep river gorges to high-altitude coniferous forests.
