Borjomi is a 19th century spa town tucked into a forested gorge in central Georgia, built around the naturally carbonated mineral springs that have drawn bathers since Tsarist times. Its sprawling Central Park, faded Romanov-era bathhouses and surrounding Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park give it a genteel, slightly time-worn charm quite unlike Georgia's coastal or capital cities.

Getting thereThere is no airport in Borjomi: travellers usually fly into Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), the country's main gateway, then continue overland. From Tbilisi, minibuses (marshrutky) and a scenic daily train both run to Borjomi, taking roughly 2 to 4 hours depending on the service.
How long to stayMost visitors allow ~1 to 2 days, enough to stroll Central Park, sample the famous spring water, ride the cable car, and make a short trip into the surrounding national park.
