Common questions
Do I need a visa for Georgia?
Most visitors can enter Georgia visa free for up to a full year, all you need is a valid passport. Flights are short, which makes Georgia an easy choice even for a quick trip.
When is the best time to visit Georgia?
Spring (May to June) and autumn (September to October, the grape harvest) are the most pleasant. Summer is hot in the valleys but perfect for the Caucasus, and winter is for skiing in Gudauri and Bakuriani.
How much does Georgia cost and how do I pay?
Georgia is one of the cheapest destinations in the region. The currency is the lari (GEL), and ATMs are available in every town. Cards work in Tbilisi and Batumi, but villages, markets and drivers prefer cash. A meal at a local restaurant runs about 8 to 15 USD.
What is Georgian food like?
The Georgian table, the supra, is rich in breads, cheeses, dumplings (khinkali), khachapuri and ancient qvevri wine. Vegetarian dishes are easy to find, and the food alone is one of the best reasons to come. Our food guide has the details.
Do I need a rental car to travel in Georgia?
Not compulsory. A rental car or a private driver is very handy for the Caucasus and the wine regions, but between the cities there are cheap marshrutkas (minibuses) and transfers. Mountain driving is demanding, so many travellers prefer a local driver.
