Shida Kartli sits on the road between Tbilisi and Kutaisi, and almost everyone crossing the country east to west passes through. They stop at two places, about two thousand years apart.
About an hour from Tbilisi by motorway to Gori, then twenty minutes more to Uplistsikhe. The region is almost always seen on the way to Borjomi or Kutaisi.
