Georgia Travel Facts

Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with the Caucasus Mountains in the north and the Black Sea coastline in the west. It claims one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world, a distinctive script and cuisine, and a hospitality culture built around the supra feast. Tbilisi's sulphur baths and old town, the cave city of Vardzia, and high-altitude villages like Ushguli draw an increasing share of off-the-beaten-track travellers.

Georgia Travel FAQ

Citizens of around 95 countries - including the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, and most of the GCC - can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 365 days. Other nationalities can apply for an e-visa online before travelling.

May, June, September and October bring mild weather to Tbilisi and the wine country and are ideal for hiking in the Caucasus. July and August are hot in the lowlands but perfect for mountain villages like Kazbegi and Mestia. December to March is ski season at Gudauri and Bakuriani.

Georgia is broadly safe for tourists and crime rates are low. Avoid the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which most foreign governments advise against visiting. Tbilisi's old town, Batumi, and the main mountain regions are well-trodden and welcoming.

Georgia uses the Georgian Lari (GEL). ATMs are common in cities and tourist towns, and cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants. Carry some cash for small markets, marshrutka minibuses, and rural areas.
