About this tour
This walk follows a lane of carved wooden balconies to Sighnaghi's round-the-clock wedding registry office. You see the ironwork patterns on the houses first, then the small office itself, and I explain how the town earned its reputation as the city of love. It is a light, story-driven walk through one corner of the old town.
We move slowly along the balconies so the ironwork reads clearly on camera, then reach the registry office toward the end. I keep the story quick and to the point, and there is time for questions once we stop.
It suits anyone who wants a lighter, story-based walk between the wine and history sessions, and it works well in the evening light.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
