Is Tbilisi good for solo travel?

Safety:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

I 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 :).

Family travel experience

Overall, 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!.

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.

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

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.

Is Tbilisi safe for women?

Safety rating

2.8 /5

Crime rates rating

2 /5

Based on 3 experiences

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.

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.

Stay with locals in Tbilisi

Stay with local women in Tbilisi who offer free accommodation as part of cultural exchange. Couch surfing is a great way to meet new people, learn more about new cultures and experience destinations like a local.
