Tbilisi
Tbilisi tumbles across a bend in the Mtkvari River, a jumble of sulphur bathhouses, Soviet-era balconies and glass towers climbing the same hillsides as a centuries-old hilltop fortress. It is a crossroads city in the truest sense, shaped for centuries by Persian, Ottoman and Russian rule, and that layered history still shows in its churches, courtyards and winding old-town lanes.

Frequently asked questions about Tbilisi
How do I get to Tbilisi?
Most travellers arrive via Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), about 17km southeast of the centre, then take the public bus into town, a taxi or app-based ride, or a pre-booked transfer; journey times run roughly 25 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and transport choice. A limited twice-daily train also links the airport to the central railway station, though its schedule rarely lines up conveniently with flights.
How many days should I spend in Tbilisi?
Plan on ~3 to 4 days to cover the old town, a bathhouse soak and a day trip into the surrounding wine or mountain country.
