There I was feeling safe, despite the fact that I’m from Russia. I recommend to take some excursions to different places near Tbilisi and also visit national museum of Georgia and national park. Food is really good and the size of plates is enormous! I’ve spent about 250 dollars on my own. I was staying in boutique named “old manufacturer”, the owner of that place is a really good man — he was very attentive and presented me a cake for my birthday. Almost all the time I was traveling on foot, but there is a subway — very cheap but old

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 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

Tbilisi is pretty safe, even at night. People are friendly, and crime is low. Just stay aware like in any city. I walk around a lot and feel totally fine — it’s a chill and welcoming place! i feel safe
