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.
Posted: September 2, 2024Well, 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

Hii guys So here I’m sharing my experience while travelling Georgia..or say staying in Georgia for 6 years. I studied medicine there and stayed in Batumi while experiencing the culture for 6 long years. I must tell you guys it’s heaven.. it’s so beautiful and people are so welcoming.. and it is one of the safest destinations for tourists all over the world specially if you are solo female traveller. Tbilisi the capital is in itself amusing but if you get a chance do visit other regions too.
Posted: August 23, 2024I felt very safe visiting Batumi. Georgians respect women and even walking alone at night on the promenade, I felt very safe overall. Beautiful city that you should discover at night - go see the dancing fountains at night just sit there, listen to amazing music and enjoy. We were staying in a hotel in Gonio beach. Most beautiful beach in Batumi. The city centre beach is rather dirty but Gonio is clean. Would not reccomend going swimming with huge waves - it is hard to get out of water so be careful.

Georgia surprised me sooo positively!! I didn't know much about the country before going there because it's not a popular destination yet but I'm confident that this will soon change. Georgia has soo much to offer from stunning landscapes since it's located at the black sea and directly in the Caucasian mountains. I discovered hiking for myself and climbed quite a few hills and mountains all around the country, did horse riding and a lot of sightseeing. Georgia is Christian Orthodox so there are numerous churches and monasteries everywhere you go. The food is soo good, many vegetarian dishes, vegan was rather hard, but possible. I felt suuper safe in Georgia!! I got catcalled only twice (!!) in 5 weeks which is still too much but good compared to the cities where I'm from... I received attention from men but I never felt disrespected or unsave. I think that just happens when you don't look like the locals do. Please consider that this is my experience aa a white woman with blond hair, blue eyes. I talked to women of colour about their experiences and they luckily shared my experience but I still feel that it's important to mention what my experiences are based on. My itinerary: - landed in Tbilisi, stayed there for 12 days and did one overnight trip to Kazbeghi in the mountains and a few daytrips to Tbilisi sea, Sighnaghi and Mtskheta - went to Kutaisi, stayed there for a week - went to Mestia and Ushguli high in the mountains for 6 days - went back to Kutaisi where I left my luggage - went to Borjomi and Bakuriani - went to Batumi at the black sea
Posted: June 28, 2024I felt safe in Tbilisi, even when being out late alone at night. I had my wits about me. There are many young people out at night, like 11 PM, even on public transportation. The khinkali is delicious, and food is cheaper than in many western countries.

Safety-wise walking in the city I felt safer than at home. In the city, even at 2-3 am. But that's because I look similar to a Georgian girl. African and Indian girls told me that they were harassed by local men. I would definitely recommend watching traditional Georgian dancing, polyphonic singing and walking in the old town. The museum of Soviet occupation is expensive but very interesting. If you're vegan- Kiwi cafe is best value for price and Shpana cafe is great for different choices of food. In comparison to western countries taxis are cheap here. But download Bolt or Yandex taxi. Métro is old and Soviet but very fast :).
Posted: June 20, 2024Experienced: May, 2024Overall, it was a safe city. Easy to explore by foot and bolt, bolts are very cheap. Restaurants and souvenirs are bit expensive in the touristic areas. For a tasty and good price meal, try to find a local restaurant. The old city is very nice, Cable car (teleferik) and the botanical garden are a must visit!.

Gudauri was a perfect place to ski. It’s about a 2 hour drive from Tbilisi. I would recommend a ski in ski out hotel or apartment. I felt very safe here! Ski pass was cheap, as was ski rental. If you want to go to the drunk cherry (popular restaurant) for dinner, book well in advance.
Posted: March 23, 2024Experienced: January, 2024I had a wonderful experience for one week which was safe and comfortable. I traveled around by private taxi, which was cheap and trustworthy thanks to the locals. They suggested the best places for me to stay. The mountains and nature were like I had never seen before, absolutely gorgeous! :)

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.
Posted: August 10, 2024Tbilisi 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.

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:)

Love the paragliding experience! If you are more in extreme sports and it is your first time. They have a guide to help you go through it. They also have a lot of fortresses if you like to have a european like travel.
