What Travelers Say About Tbilisi

Tbilisi is one of travel's great hidden gems — a 1,500-year-old city with balconied wooden houses, ancient sulfur baths, world-class wine culture, and food that rivals any European capital. Georgia is considered the birthplace of wine (8,000-year tradition). Safety is excellent and costs are extraordinary value.

Common Scams in Tbilisi

Fake Wine & Counterfeit Labelslow

Cheap wine sold in plastic bottles at markets may be diluted or of very poor quality. Buy Georgian wine from established wine shops (Wines of Georgia, Vinotheca, VINO.Underground) or directly from wineries. Bottles should have proper Georgian labelling and seals.

Meter-less Taxislow

Street taxis in Tbilisi rarely have meters and will quote tourist prices (often 3–4x the fair rate). Use Bolt exclusively — it has excellent coverage in Tbilisi and is dramatically cheaper and more reliable than street hailing.
