🇬🇪 Georgia: cities, food, and practical advice before your trip
For a first visit, begin with two or three cities or regions that fit together instead of a long attraction list. That leaves time for local food, unplanned walks, and the smaller discoveries that make the trip memorable.

🇬🇪 Georgia: cities, food, and practical advice before your trip
Georgia: which cities to choose, how to travel between them, what to eat, and which local rules are useful before departure.
Which cities and regions to choose
Tbilisi is best read through balconies, sulphur baths, courtyards, and hills rather than one main avenue; comfortable shoes are essential.
Where to discover local cooking
A supra led by a tamada is a cultural structure, not a tourist show; listen to the toast, avoid interrupting, and do not compete over wine.

One useful local detail
Khinkali are eaten by hand, but venue turnover and regional specialisation matter more than perfect technique.
Georgia: a defining view of the destination
How to move around without wasting time
Mountain roads depend on season and weather; for Kazbegi, Svaneti, or Tusheti, check road conditions and the driver's experience.
Transport and real travel times
Marshrutkas are economical but awkward with luggage, while the Tbilisi-Batumi train suits travellers who value a predictable transfer.
Where to begin
Summer Batumi and autumn Kakheti move differently from the capital; one short weekend cannot represent Georgia.
