Stepantsminda Town & Kazbegi Museum
სტეფანწმინდა
A small town at the foot of Mount Kazbek, the hub for accommodation, dining and private transfers, and home to the Alexander Kazbegi House Museum.
Stepantsminda (formerly Kazbegi) is the last major town on the Military Road, at an altitude of about 1,750 m. Its central square is the pick-up point for minibuses and 4×4 taxis, and there are plenty of guesthouses and restaurants around it. Most rooms have a direct view of the Holy Trinity Church and Mount Kazbek above the town. The Alexander Kazbegi House Museum introduces the 19th-century writer and local history (admission costs a few lari). It is worth staying one night to watch the sunrise turn the snow peaks gold.
