Sighnaghi is a fortress town in Georgia which is famous with its great views on Alazani valley and other interesting places to explore. It is one of the most popular places in the country for tourists. The main landmark is a fortress which was built in the 18th century. The fortress wall has towers dividing it into sections which can be accessed by wooden stairs. There are also a lot of other landmarks in the town like historical monuments and churches.
Renting a vehicle in Tbilisi
You will need to hire a vehicle in Tbilisi to get to the place in comfort. There are a lot of different car rental companies in the country and I suggest taking a car at GSS Car Rental. This company has a good reputation and reliable vehicles for rent. Besides that, the prices are affordable and the quality of their services is great. I have rented Toyota SUV and was very satisfied with the vehicle condition. You can make a booking at GSS Car Rental.com

The fortress wall of the town is quite big and you will definitely notice it after approaching the town. Its length is about 5 kilometers, and the of walls of the fortress surround the entire old part of the town, they are well-maintained so it's quite safe to walk under.

The common architecture here looks like Italian style but with traditional Georgian elements. People sometimes call Sighnaghi - a "town of love" because of its charming street views and ancient buildings.
