During your trip to Georgia, you'll discover the stories of the mythical Argonauts, the early Christians, and knights besieging Georgia's imposing medieval fortresses.

Is travel to Georgia safe?

Safety is not a major concern in Georgia. This nation, nestled between the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea, offers a peaceful environment and a warm welcome from its people, making your trip pleasant and worry-free. Overall, during your tour of Georgia, you'll encounter a warm, emotional, and welcoming population. The locals are known for their hospitality and their tradition of offering food and drink to anyone who dares to enter their homes, creating unforgettable bonds and an atmosphere of friendship that will accompany you throughout your journey. Statistically, Georgia is among the countries with the lowest petty crime rates in the world. This makes the country an ideal place not only for tourists, but also for those who wish to enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking and trekking, without the constant worry of personal safety. As with any other country in the world, special attention should be paid to crowded areas frequented by tourists in large cities, where petty theft and scams are possible. The usual precautions—such as not leaving valuables in plain sight or taking care of your personal belongings—are always recommended. As always, we reassure travelers that most people in Georgia are honest and willing to help, but we still recommend adhering to basic safety precautions. The beauty and uniqueness of this country deserve to be explored without anxiety, enjoying every moment of your trip.

How to get to Georgia

Georgia is home to three international airports: Tbilisi, the capital; Batumi Airport; and Kutaisi Airport. The country is therefore well connected to major global airports with direct and connecting flights to its capital. The national carrier is Georgian Airways, which offers a wide variety of routes and schedules, but international connections are also operated by equally renowned airlines such as Qatar Airways, Flydubai, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, Lufthansa, and Wizz Air. These airlines not only guarantee excellent service, but also offer a range of options for different budgets, allowing travelers to choose the one that best suits their travel needs. Flights to the destination are frequent, but we strongly recommend booking your flight for your tour of Georgia well in advance, especially during the peak tourist season. Availability of affordable fares during peak season is quite limited due to high demand, and flights tend to fill up quickly. By booking early, you can also benefit from special offers and more favorable fares.

Is a visa required for Georgia?

Georgia has introduced simplifications for entry into the country.

For several years now, citizens of many countries, including the entire European Union (and others such as Australia, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, the Republic of Korea, Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Panama, Serbia, Turkey, Chile, Switzerland, El Salvador, and Japan), have been able to enter Georgia without a visa. However, we recommend checking the latest updates on entry requirements on the official website of the Georgian embassy in your country of residence, which is also summarized at this link .

Georgian wines

Some historians consider Georgia to be the origin of the world's wine culture.

Recent archaeological discoveries have uncovered traces of winemaking dating back more than 8,000 years. The typical Georgian technique of storing and maturing wine in qvevri vessels is evidence that the ancient inhabitants of Georgia were the first to understand the potential of preserving grape juice underground. Today, Georgian wine is increasingly appreciated globally, with nearly 100 million bottles exported to over 50 countries annually. Georgia boasts more than 500 grape varieties, most of them indigenous, from which the Georgian winemaking tradition produces excellent wines such as Saperavi, Mtsvane, Chinuri, Rkatsiteli, Aleksandrouli, and Tsolikauri. Wine is produced in all regions of Georgia, but the most famous is undoubtedly the Kakheti region, a destination for Georgia's main wine and food tours.

Georgian crafts and souvenirs

During your tour of Georgia, your guide will be able to advise you on what to buy and what not to buy. Here, we'd like to share some souvenirs you can bring back from your trip to Georgia. Georgia is famous for its carpet production , featuring typical traditional patterns. You can also find splendid jewelry lacquered using a local technique called Minankari , in vibrant colors and designs ranging from classic to religious to modern and contemporary. The metals used to produce earrings, bracelets, rings, and pendants range from the affordable to the expensive. We've already mentioned wine production; a good bottle of Georgian wine or Georgian grappa ( chacha ) can be a wonderful souvenir to take home. We can't fail to mention the wonderful spices you can buy at great prices in Georgian markets, where you can also purchase excellent dried fruit . Churchhela , a delicacy made of walnuts soaked in grape must and flour, deserves special mention , a typical Georgian snack.

Travel advice for Georgia:
We've only mentioned the main Georgian handicrafts and food products, but that's just a small part of the story. It's unlikely you'll return from a trip to Georgia empty-handed. However, we want to emphasize that you should be careful when purchasing local antiques. The export of art objects with historical and cultural value is prohibited in Georgia. When in doubt, it's best to avoid them.
