Buses, marshrutkas (shared taxis), and the metro in Tbilisi are typically reliable and economical. However, it's always wise to keep an eye on your belongings and avoid peak times or less crowded vehicles, if possible.

Batumi, Group travel

I did not come across any crime here. We went for the Christmas holiday. It was very nice and fun. The people are friendly, they are just a little weak in the language. If you know Russian and Georgian, you can communicate very easily, but many shopkeepers do not know English, but they are still eager to communicate with body language. And don't forget that the Starbucks here is not the real Starbucks.

Batumi, Solo travel

Batumi has a different architecture. I was a grandma while traveling. It was also a cheap city. I traveled with a budget of 30 dollars and it was enough. We went from Turkey with our own vehicle. It was a safe city

Batumi, Family travel

It was a 2-week trip to Batumi, Georgia. We went there on a car from Moscow. One of the most memorable places is definitely national park of Batumi. We saw a waterfall and just amazing Mountain Views… Also in Batumi there’s an airport located just near the beach, so we stayed at the beach to watch planes fly over our heads. So exciting. The city is so beautiful and have different sides of it-old and modern. Both amazing

Georgia, Solo travel

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!

Georgia, Group travel

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:)

Tbilisi, Couple travel

Tbilisi is a vibrating city with many beautiful places to explore. We really liked the old town, but went to see the less frequent neighbourhoods as well where we also felt safe and comfortable. People are usually nice, and we had several good expreience with transportation (quick answers to our emails, helpful people at public transport etc). Public transport was clean and easy to use. We used marshrutka to travel to Gori, and it was quite easy and safe to do that. To travel to Kutaisi Airport we used Georgian bus, it was easy to book tickets and the bus arrived in time to the Airport. Food was delicious there, even as a vegetarian I was always able to find nice and tasty options. Nature was unbelievably beutiful around us, but unfortunately we hadn’t had enough time to explore the mountens of Georgia, so it is on our bucket list now. The only place where I felt a little bit uncomfortable was the train station, but we arrived at 1:00 AM with a train from Yerevan and that time the station was very empty, so we have caught a taxi quickly (I should add that I’m not a brave person overall, so this can influence my experience). We went back to see the station at daylight and we had a very different experience with it that time.

Tbilisi, Family travel

Well, the city is really safe, but here's a lot of homeless people who are asking for money. But views are gorgeous everywhere in tbilisi. Also, if you have some health problems or you are not used to walking, be careful as there're hills everywhere, and it was kinda hard to walk, especially in summer when it's 35° outside

Tbilisi

I think Tbilisi is not safe when you are a girl and walking alone, especially in dark, I often have to walk alone but I always go to places with a lot of people to always feel protected from creeps. I wish all the girlies safe travel and safe life ❤️

Tbilisi

Tbilisi is quite safe place for tourists, especially in touristic places such as city center, which is quite a large territory. I think normally you would feel safe in suburbs of the city, too but it's better for your peace of mind to be a little cautious during the night time, if you need to go through suburb places of the city. Also be aware of stray dogs, they are mostly taken care of, but personally i'm afraid of dogs and that would be important fact to know when travelling to new cities. ❤️
