Introduction & Vibe
Tbilisi is a city full of surprises and energy. As Georgia's capital, it mixes old stone churches with modern buildings and glass bridges. The vibe is a mix of European and Asian influences, and once you get here, it's hard to leave.
Why Visit?
Travelers often come for the food and wine, and those alone are worth the trip. Georgia stands as one of the oldest wine regions in the world, offering incredible, unique wines at a fraction of prices found elsewhere. Then there's the food – khachapuri (cheese bread) and khinkali (soup dumplings) represent just the beginning of a rich, comforting, and delicious cuisine. Beyond the feast, the city is a photographer's dream with its crumbling courtyards and ornate balconies. It's also remarkably affordable, allowing your money to stretch further, and the burgeoning creative and techno scene gives it a modern, energetic pulse that often surprises first-time visitors.

Trusted Travel Tools
Planning your trip to Tbilisi? Using the links below helps support this site at no extra cost to you. I've only placed products here that I actually use and trust myself. Thank you for your support 🫶!
Trusted Swiss VPN I use every single day as a nomad. It lets me appear in other countries to access region‑locked services (often financial), works in censored regions, and hides your IP from websites, advertisers, and governments — because what you do online is your business.
One of the only 3rd party booking tools that I actually trust. Great for booking flights, hotels, and car rentals. Often times I use this specifically to get the extra info it has about accommodations like square feet/meters.
My go-to e-sim when I am traveling. It's always got a competitive price and it has some nice extra features like a built-in VPN, ad-blocker, and web protection.
Travel medical insurance designed for digital nomads and long-term travelers. Simple and flexible. I myself haven't had to file and claims through them yet though I know others who have and the process has been straight forward for them and they got properly covered.
