Tbilisi
Tbilisi is your gateway to Georgia: most Gulf flights land here, and most trips start and end here. An old city on both banks of the Kura river, with carved wooden balconies, centuries-old sulphur baths, and prices that stay within a family budget.
Why visit Tbilisi?
What to see
Best time to visit
All year. Best in April–June and September–October (20–28°C). July and August are hot (35°C+) but hotels are cheaper.
How to get to Tbilisi
There is no train and no comfortable public transport between Georgian cities. The practical option for a family is a car with a driver who meets you at the airport, stays with you throughout, and knows the mountain roads.

Common questions about Tbilisi
How far is Tbilisi from the airport?
About 20 km — a 30-minute drive. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign.
Do I need a car inside Tbilisi?
The old town is walkable, but districts are far apart and the streets are steep. A car with a driver saves you the heat and the taxi haggling.
Are there halal restaurants in Tbilisi?
Yes, more than anywhere else in Georgia. We visited them ourselves and verified halal slaughter.
