Practical guide
Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Tbilisi visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
May to June and September to October bring mild, pleasant weather ideal for the city, mountains and wine harvest — the prime times to visit Tbilisi.
Spring (Apr–Jun)
Mild and green with blossoming countryside — excellent for the city and mountain day trips.
Summer (Jul–Aug)
Hot in Tbilisi, but the Kazbegi mountains stay cool and clear — great for high-altitude day trips.
Autumn (Sep–Oct)
Crisp and golden with the grape harvest (Rtveli) in Kakheti — a wonderful time for wine lovers.
Winter (Nov–Mar)
Cold with snow, turning Gudauri into a ski resort; the city is quiet and atmospheric.
Wine harvest
The Rtveli grape harvest in September–October is a festive, delicious time to visit the wine regions.
One day
The Old Town, baths and a feast.
Two days
Add the Kazbegi mountains.
Three days
The sweet spot: city, Kazbegi and Kakheti.
Four to five days
Add Mtskheta, Borjomi and the Rainbow Mountains.
A week or more
Tour Georgia and even cross into Armenia.
Travelling with kids
Mix cable cars, parks and Mtskheta.
On foot
Tbilisi’s Old Town and central districts are compact and best explored on foot, with cable cars and a funicular for the hills.
Tours & private drivers
Day trips to Kazbegi, Kakheti and Mtskheta include transport, and hiring a car with a driver is an affordable way to tour Georgia.
Metro & buses
Tbilisi has a cheap metro, buses and minibuses (marshrutkas); a rechargeable travel card covers them all.
Taxis & apps
Taxis are cheap; use ride-hailing apps like Bolt to avoid haggling over fares.
Cable cars
The Narikala cable car and Mtatsminda funicular are fun, scenic ways to reach the city’s viewpoints.
From the airport
Tbilisi Airport is about 20–30 minutes from the centre by bus, train, taxi or app.
Georgian lari
Georgia uses the lari; carry some cash for markets, taxis and small cafés, though cards are widely accepted in the city.
Book day-trip tours
Kazbegi, Kakheti and Mtskheta are best on guided day trips with transport, as public transport to them is limited.
Embrace the hospitality
Georgians are famously welcoming; if invited to a supra (feast), accept — but pace yourself with the toasts and wine.
Pack for the mountains
Even in summer, Kazbegi and the high passes are cool, so bring layers and good shoes for day trips.
Dress for churches
At monasteries and churches, dress modestly; women may need a headscarf and skirt wrap, often provided at the door.
