House of Seylanov brothers
Tbilisi
Hidden house with colorful stairway murals and an art-filled staircase; free entrance and a real local surprise — don’t miss the upstairs. Hard to find: there are several doors and one is often locked, so visit in the afternoon and wait for a resident to let you in.
Go to the house number and look for the locked central door among the three entrances; that’s the one. If it’s shut, ask the nearby office for directions or wait — a resident usually opens it for visitors.
Yes — the staircase is the highlight, so go up and take pictures, but remember it’s a lived‑in building: keep voices down, don’t block the stairs, and be quick so residents can pass.
Not necessary — many people wait a few minutes and someone comes out or lets visitors in. Afternoons tend to be easier, but if you’re patient you’ll usually get in without coming back.
