Tbilisi Travel Guide: 30 Cool Things to Do

Tbilisi Travel Guide: 30 Cool Things to Do, Tbilisi, Georgia

Are you traveling to Tbilisi, Georgia, and looking for things to do? Look no further! I’ve got 30 great landmarks, museums, and activities you can do in Tbilisi, whether you’re in town for a weekend or a full week!

I spent almost three weeks in Georgia in October 2024, including one week in Tbilisi, and I feel like I barely scratched the surface when exploring the capital city. Tbilisi is a big city with lots of things to do, so you can’t expect to see it all on a weekend trip. Add to that all the amazing day trips to the surrounding areas, and you need at least five days. But if a short trip is all you can manage, that’s okay.

Spending one week in Tbilisi while working and trying to fit in as much exploring as possible means I’ve managed to get to know the city a fair bit, yet I still feel the need to go back and fill some gaps. I think I did a good job on touching on the highlights and exploring a few lesser-known spots, so I want to share them all with you.

This Tbilisi travel guide contains all the things I did in the city, plus a few that were on my list and for one reason or another I didn’t get to do. Because, of course, that one museum you were saving for last is closed on your last day in the city. But that means I’ll have to go back, and I’m not too mad about that. ......
