Tbilisi
23 things to see
Georgia’s capital sits along the Kura River with the hilltop Narikala Fortress, the sulfur bath district of Abanotubani, and the Bridge of Peace. Climbing to the fortress for sweeping city views is free, wandering the old town costs nothing, and the wine culture means free tastings are the norm. Budget travelers find Tbilisi one of Europe’s most affordable capitals for food and nightlife, and it links easily with Kutaisi and the coast at Batumi for a cheap Georgian circuit. Spring and autumn dodge the summer heat.
