Georgia holidays

1 destination in Georgia, with real fares from London Heathrow. See Tbilisi below, or plan dates in the trip search.

Highlights

Georgia's trip starts with Tbilisi, a hillside capital of balconied old streets, sulphur bathhouses and a wine culture recognised by UNESCO.

Why go

  • A genuinely hilly old town, best explored on foot or by cable car up to Narikala Fortress for a view over the whole city.
  • Tbilisi's sulphur bathhouses in the Abanotubani district are a real local institution, open to visitors daily, not a spa add-on.
  • Georgian qvevri winemaking — ageing wine in buried clay vessels — was added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013, and the tradition is still very visible around the city and in the wine regions within day-trip range.

Worth knowing

  • Tbilisi is the one destination here so far — Georgia's mountains, coast and wine regions beyond day-trip range aren't covered yet.
  • The airport train runs only a handful of times a day, not a real commuter option — plan on a taxi or transfer instead.
  • Tbilisi's old town is genuinely hilly, which is charming on a fresh day and more tiring in summer heat.

Fares are one-way prices from London Heathrow, per traveller, checked regularly against Travelpayouts — indicative, not live quotes. See the packages page for real return windows with dates.

When to go

Spring
Mild and green through April and May, comfortable for walking the old town before summer heat builds.
Summer
Hot in the city itself, with the Kazbegi mountains and other higher-elevation day trips offering a genuine escape from it.
Autumn
Warm days and cooling evenings through September and October — grape harvest season, and a good time for the wine regions within day-trip range.
Winter
Cold with real potential for snow, especially in the hills around the city. The old town's steep streets and balconied houses are quieter, and the sulphur bathhouses come into their own.

What it costs

An inexpensive restaurant meal runs around €9. A budget hotel room is typically around €20/night, €39 mid-range. These are Georgia-wide estimates, not live listing prices.

Getting around

Tbilisi International Airport has a rail link to the central railway station, but services run only a handful of times a day, so taxis and transfer services are the practical option for most arrival times. Inside Tbilisi, the old town is steep and best explored on foot, with the cable car covering the climb to Narikala, while the metro and taxis handle longer journeys.
