TBS

✓ Pros

  • +Wizz Air and Georgian Airways link TBS to 40-plus European cities — three to four hours from most of Europe
  • +Visa-free for a full year for US, UK, EU, Canadian and most Latin American passports — one of the longest allowances anywhere
  • +A Bolt crosses the whole city for 5-8 lari; you will never want a car
  • +Dinner with wine for two runs 60-80 lari in the old town
  • +English is on menus and signs across the centre, and most people under 35 speak it

⚠ What to keep in mind

  • !Politics runs hot — the 2008 war and the breakaway regions are not small talk
  • !Georgian food is relentless; whatever diet you arrived with is over
  • !The old town is all stairs and slopes — your legs will know it by day three

❓ Common questions

How much money should we bring?

Around $500 per person for three days: flights ($150-250 from Europe), hotel ($40-70 a night = $120-200), food ($20-30 a day), activities and the wine tour ($80-150).

Cash or card?

Cards work in hotels and larger restaurants. In plenty of places — the Dry Bridge market, older cellars, some taxi drivers — they don't. Bring dollars or euros to change; the lari rate in exchange offices is good.

Where is best to stay?

Sololaki or Avlabari — old town, everything on foot. Vake is the modern district with the parks. NOT Rustavi and NOT the outskirts — a long way from the centre.

Is it worth renting a car?

Not for three days. Wine tours are easier with a driver-guide. In the city it's walking and Bolt.
