Tbilisi is generally a safe city, and I feel comfortable using public transport or walking in the streets during the day. While it’s natural to feel a bit uneasy in dark or isolated areas, this isn’t unique to Tbilisi—it’s just common sense to avoid such places. In general, there’s no need to be afraid of being robbed or assaulted in public. Also, I must mention that people are so kind, generous here and everyone will help you if you need any assistance.

I would say that Tbilisi is generally safe city to walk around at night, the streets are well-lit and police cars patrol every now and then. Of course, you should always be careful not to walk in the outskirts and not well-lit areas during the night, as there's higher risk of getting robbed or beaten. Transportation is very safe, but please be careful in the taxies - sometimes the drivers really make you super uncomfortable. Other than these, just take basic precautions when visiting Tbilisi and take care of yourself.

Tbilisi is a pretty safe city to live in and to visit. Compared to other big European cities there’s less theft and pickpockets for example. it is pretty safe as well for solo female travelers, you might just experience flirting from random men but they’re never insistent and you can just ignore them. Overall it’s a pretty safe place.

It is one of the safest cities. Even at night, there is no need to worry about late night walks. You are comfortable around the city. People are very kind friendly and helpful. If you need bus mini bus taxi it's also safe

In Tbilisi I usually feel safe because I look Georgian. Even if I walk around at night alone, I feel safer than at home in Sydney. The most problems I experienced from a couple of Taxi drivers who were persistent in asking me out, even though I told them I have a boyfriend. Men here do like to stare, but they wouldn't do anything. Some would politely ask me out in person on the street. However, the situation is different for other girls. Indian and African (black girls) told me that they were harassed by local men while in the shopping mall, or when going out at night.

Overly Tbilisi is safe in daytime but definitely not at night. Girls / women use taxi at night, we don’t go out alone. It could be safe in some districts but I’m usually more scared of dogs at night as well as men 😂 Dogs are kinda aggressive at night . Always close your pockets and bags in metro. Bus are more safe . Be aware of beggars, some of them like to spit on you, but thats very seldom. I usually don’t recommend tbilisi to solo travelers

Absolutely loved visiting Georgia (mainly Tbilisi) during August. The weather, people, food, vibes were amazing! I didn't feel unsafe at all throughout my trip. I used the Bolt app to get around and booked a few tours to enhance my experience. My arrival and departure were both during midnight and I used a Bolt taxi to get to and from the airport, and didn't face any inconvenience. Highly recommend the trip especially for first time solo travellers. I will definitely visit again!

A must destination for anyone looking for a cheap and eventful vacation. The nature is absolutely incredible, wish I could experience even more of it, maybe some hiking and stuff. The people are friendly, very Southern (a bit too nosey for my taste but very helpful). Great food and wine obviously:)
