Solo Female Travel in 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I stayed near Freedom Square in Tbilisi. There are lots of things to do in Tbilisi such as attending concerts, vintage shopping, museums, bars, food, and wine (an absolute must for Georgia)! If you are in the mood to explore the countryside, there are also many historic sites and wineries to see within a few hours drive of the city.

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 :).

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.

Is Tbilisi safe for women?

Safety rating

3.1 /5

Based on 4 experiences

Crime rates rating

2.3 /5

Based on 4 experiences

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.

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.
