2025 Georgia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

"Are you here to attack xxx!!!!!!" "Where are the attractions with no people!!!!" Every time I go out during the holidays, I always ask myself these questions from the depths of my soul. As we all know, in China, seeking out niche travel destinations has become a popular trend! If you don't want to be crowded when traveling in China and want to have a super comfortable travel experience, you might want to consider this visa-free and niche country - Georgia. It's so beautiful that it leaves you speechless! If you ask me which season I like best in Georgia, the answer is definitely winter. If Georgia in spring and summer is "God's backyard," then Georgia in winter is like a snow kingdom favored by God. If you want to find a cost-effective foreign destination to play in the snow in winter, I sincerely recommend you come here! It's visa-free and less crowded, so you can just grab your passport and go! 🍂Winter travel time: December to January is the best time to visit Georgia's ski resorts, and the experience is amazing! There is a time difference between here and China, which is 4 hours behind China. 🔶About travel: ✈️Transportation: In China, only Urumqi has direct flights to Tbilisi. It is more cost-effective to transfer from Abu Dhabi, Turkey, etc. A taxi from the airport to the city center costs about 30 GEL. 🪪Visa: It is visa-free for 30 days, and the entry process is very smooth, taking only two minutes. 💰Exchange rate: It is about 1:2.7. It is recommended to exchange US dollars or euros in China, as RMB cannot be exchanged directly. Of course, you can also withdraw money directly from local ATMs. 📱Communication: It is more expensive to buy a card on Taobao, so it is recommended to buy one at the magti business hall at the airport. Although it is a little more expensive than in the city, it saves time and effort. A 7-day unlimited data card is usually enough! 🚖Taxi: You can use Yandex Go and Uber in Tbilisi. There are two subway lines here, and you need to buy a transportation card (2 GEL) to take the subway, which costs 1 GEL each time. You can check out the previous post for a guide on how to buy a bus card. Winter limited niche attraction: "Georgia Snow Country Train Tour" The Kukushka train from Borjomi to Bakuriani is one of the most beautiful train journeys in the Caucasus. This 37-kilometer narrow-gauge railway winds through the forested foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. Along the way, you will enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region. The train has two carriages, and there is a small balcony at the end of the train. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and it is recommended to bring some snacks with you. Bakuriani is now a famous ski resort in Georgia, with 23 ski routes, suitable for both professionals and beginners. It is the most lively place in winter, and locals love to vacation here.

If not renting a car, you can choose the train 🚊 to visit Gori alone, but public transportation might take more time. 🔸 Among the above attractions, only the Stalin Museum 🏛️ and Uplistsikhe require an entrance fee 🎫. 🔸 Jvari Monastery and Gori Fortress are located at higher elevations, making them suitable for late afternoon 🌇 visits to enjoy the panoramic views. It is recommended to schedule Jvari last for its beautiful scenery overlooking the city and the river 🌊. 🔸 Samtavro Monastery and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral ⛪️ are close to each other, about a seven to eight-minute walk 🚶‍♀️. 🔸 The Stalin Museum and Gori Fortress are relatively close to each other. 🔸 Outside the Stalin Museum, there is a train carriage 🚞, a ground floor exhibition hall, and a small exhibition hall between the first and second floors that are all 🆓 free. Only the main exhibition hall on the second floor requires a ticket 🎫. 🔸 The arched columns in the corridor outside the museum are very photogenic 📸. 🔸 For lunch 🍽️, it is recommended to eat at the entrance of Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, where there are several restaurants. 🔸 We departed from Tbilisi at 10:30 AM 🕥, so we didn't visit Uplistsikhe in Gori. If you start earlier, it can be included in the itinerary. 🔴 Suggested itinerary: 👉 Gori Fortress 🏰 - Stalin Museum 🏛️ - Uplistsikhe - (Lunch) Svetitskhoveli ⛪️ - Samtavro - Jvari 🌅

The sapphire-like Martvili Canyon, this place must be in the top five in Georgia! Friends who come to Kutaisi must go and see it, it's really super beautiful! From Kutaisi to Martvili is in the northwestern region of Georgia, where the humidity is generally high, and the branches and stones are covered with thick moss. Therefore, the water in the Martvili waterfall is always a light blue-green, cascading down the canyon and sparkling in the sunlight. It's very impressive to see in person, and there are also kayaking projects at the bottom of the canyon, which are great for taking photos. Historically, the Dadiani family, who ruled Georgia in Zugdidi, also used this place as their favorite bathhouse for vacation. There are hiking routes around, so interested friends can go for it! 🚗Transportation: 50Km from Kutaisi, it is recommended to drive by yourself, renting a car for 3 days costs 115 USD and you can explore the surrounding area. 🎫Tickets: 20 GEL for foreigners 💃One-day route: Depart from Kutaisi - see the Soviet abandoned buildings in Tskaltubo - take a boat to view the Prometheus Cave (you can skip it if you are not interested in caves) - Okatse Canyon - Khoni Waterfall - Martvili Canyon (the finale!)

Oh, Georgia. Just hearing the name of this country brings back thousands of beautiful memories. It’s a country where Teo and I travelled for a whole 3 months and we just can’t wait to go back. Georgia is one of the oldest wine regions in the world. It has its own unique language, incredible hospitality (even the cops are super helpful towards hitchhikers), many spectacular and unique places ( Svaneti, Vardzia, and Chiatura just to name a few), fascinating legends, a beautiful culture, and amazing mountains. #georgia

It's the 3rd stop on our journey through Georgia, and we've arrived at Signagi, the birthplace of wine, also known as 'Love Town'. The entire town is nestled at the foot of snow-capped mountains, making it incredibly romantic. Here's a complete guide on how to get there, what to do, what to eat, and where to stay, shared with everyone! How to get there Take a taxi from the old town to Navtlugi intercity bus terminal, and upon arrival, someone will ask if you're heading to Sighnaghi. The minibus costs 10 GEL per person, seats about 26 people, and departs at 9/11 AM every day. It leaves when full, so don't cut it close, or you might not get a seat. The minibus conditions are quite basic, even a bit poor, and it takes 2 hours to reach the destination. The return times are at 4/6 PM, also leaving when full, so arrive at the station half an hour early to wait. What to do ① Signagi Museum: A museum that tells the story of Georgian ethnography, tribal life, and traditional culture. ② Okro's Wine: A family restaurant where you can taste a variety of wine flavors. The atmosphere is particularly inviting, filled with the owner's care. The food is made to order, with the pork chops being especially delicious. You can also enjoy the view of the town and the mountains from the window seats. ③ St. Stephen Church: A dilapidated old church guarded by an elderly person, with an entrance fee of 1 GEL per person. ④ Cafemedea: Must-try red wine ice cream for 7 GEL, located below a fortress, offering a panoramic view of the town. ⑤ St. George Basilica: A landmark building of the town, but it seems not open for inside visits. ⑥ Signagi City Walls: The Great Wall surrounding the town, the largest fortress in the South Caucasus region. If you still have time, you can walk back the way you came to a viewpoint on the mountainside to see the entire town; or you can take a taxi to Bodbe Monastery, about 3 kilometers away, which is the resting place of Saint Nino and attracts thousands of worshippers every year. What to eat In addition to the above, if you walk towards the city walls to the end, there are many restaurants where you can dine with a view. Where to stay Signagi is quite small, so there's no need to stay unless necessary. If you do want to stay, there are also many small hotels.
