Tbilisi

Situated in the heart of the Caucasus, on the banks of the Mtkvari River, Tbilisi, the vibrant capital city of Georgia lures visitors with its captivating blend of Eastern and Western influences. Famous for its massive collection of archaic monuments with longstanding history, the city boasts a mosaic of culture, history, and art. Renowned for the iconic, 4th-century Narikala Fortress with panoramic views over the cityscape, the cobblestone streets of its old town resplendent with colorful balconies, and charismatic sulfur bathhouses, Tbilisi offers an enticing mix of old-world charm and modern innovation. Coupled with a burgeoning food and wine scene, decidedly European atmosphere, and hospitable locals, Tbilisi's reputation as a rapidly growing tourist hotspot is well-deserved.

Safety:Very safe

Tbilisi is generally safe even for solo female travelers. Crime rates are quite low and local population is usually friendly and willing to help foreigners. It is safe to walk in the city at night. However, like everywhere, it's recommended to stay vigilant, avoid remote areas and not carry large amounts of cash and expensive possessions, especially at night.

Transport:Easy

Tbilisi is rather navigable, providing public transportation such as metros, buses, and cable cars. Important landmarks and several accommodations are within walking distance in the city center. English has become common but is not widely spoken, which might pose a bit of a challenge, especially in public transportation.

Things to do:Interesting

Tbilisi is a city deeply rooted in history, full of picturesque architecture and unique attractions. From exploring the ancient Narikala Fortress, relaxing in the renowned Sulphur baths in Abanotubani, and walking the quaint streets of the Old Town, there are plenty of exciting activities. You can visit the Peace Bridge, take in the stunning views from the Tbilisi Funicular, and sample local cuisine at the many traditional restaurants. Tbilisi also boasts a thriving art scene, with numerous galleries and museums to explore, such as the Museum of Fine Arts and the quirky Puppet Theatre. While public transports and walking tours are common, it is recommended to learn some basics of the local language for better interactions. Keep in mind to respect local customs and dress codes.

Food:Excellent

The food in Tbilisi is delightfully delicious and a true representation of its rich cultural history. The city offers an extensive variety of traditional Georgian cuisine such as Khinkali and Khachapuri. Plus, the wine in Georgia is a must-try! However, those seeking a wide selection of international cuisines might find the choices slightly limited, hence it doesn't truly reach full diversity mark. Nevertheless, the local dishes are filled with unique flavours and there are various options for both meat-lovers and vegetarians.

Budget:Affordable

Tbilisi, is highly affordable for travelers. Costs such as accommodation, food, transportation, and sightseeing are relatively low. Many cultural attractions are either free or reasonably priced. Dining out, even in high-end places, won't break your budget. Although shopping can be a bit expensive, as a solo traveler, it's likely you'll be focusing more on experiences than material purchases.

Group travel experience

Tbilisi is a beautiful city, boasting exceptional cafes, landscapes, and nightlife. I feel safe here; however, you should be cautious of a certain crowd, specifically pickpockets. The local cuisine is amazing, particularly the Georgian foods such as Khinkali and Kachapuri. As a student who has been studying here for the past five years and renting an apartment, I have visited most places in Georgia.

Tblisi made me feel safe. All i recommend you is, taste all traditional food. You won't regret it. Also, the old town is really small to drive or using public transport. You can walk to anywhere you want.

Solo travel experience

I was in Tbilisi for 2 weeks. It was a great experience. The city has many great things to do. Many nice markets, cinemas with english movies, nightclubs, many restaurants and a lot of places with good wine. I stayed in a Hostel, there are many cheap options, even with „female only“ rooms. Beside the city there also is a big lake, if you want some space from the city life. I felt very save even at night time.

Couple travel experience

Maybe because I was there with my bf, I felt very safe, even considering we walked around the city late at night. The city’s very young, vibrant, dynamic, it has some Berlin vibes (but with better food choices haha) We ate a lot, despite being a bit heavy and greasy, the food was amazing (both at fancy restaurants and some no name cafes along the road) We rented an airbnb apartment, despite being small, it had everything we needed. Especially considering that we went there only to sleep and take a shower. Link: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/50358406?source_impression_id=p3_1701523183_4m5mRxtA3St3Y4%2BE

Solo travel experience

I love Tbilisi. My favorite things to do there are pretty much just walking around different places and eating. The old part of the city is very beautiful, just like the large main street, Rustaveli. The best restaurant I found was a small, local one. Very cheap and with amazing food, it's called Mapshalia. The traffic is crazy, I travel a lot and I've never been more terrified in a car than in Georgia.

I loved Tbilisi. The "hop on/off" bus was a great way to get an overall view. I stopped near the Sulfur Baths and the Botanical Garden. I also walked a lot. I also went on a day trip to the Vardzia caves (interesting) and to the castle. Absolutely beautiful country.
