Tbilisi Compass: The Guide That Knows Where You're Flying From
Every traveler asks the same 7 questions before Georgia — but the answer changes depending on where you fly from. Your passport, the law that protects you, your currency and your airport are all different. This guide detects your location and shows the answer that's right for you.

Georgia is among the world's most open — a long visa-free stay for most passports, just a valid passport. Ideal for long stays or remote work.
2. When is it cheapest to fly — and from where?
Best: May–June and September–October (wine harvest). Summer is hot in the city, but the mountains are pleasant. Check the live price to Tbilisi instead of guessing.
3. How much will it cost — in my currency?
Georgia uses the lari (GEL). Exceptionally cheap — food, wine and stays at a fraction of Western-Europe prices. Most of your spend is flight and stay — which is exactly where comparing pays off.
4. If my flight is delayed or cancelled — what am I owed?
A service like AirHelp checks for free whether you're owed money (e.g. on a European connecting leg) and only takes a fee if you win.
5. Will my phone work there? (eSIM)
A Georgia eSIM costs a few dollars a week and gives fast data for maps, navigation and ride apps. Sort it before you leave — land connected.
6. Do I need travel insurance?
Georgia is safe and cheap, but good private care costs money. Make sure you have medical, evacuation, and mountain-sport cover if hiking the Caucasus.
7. What are the must-sees and must-dos?
The Old Town and sulphur baths, Narikala fortress by cable car, wine in the Kakheti region, and a day trip to the Kazbegi mountains or ancient Mtskheta. Book tickets for the popular sites ahead. GetYourGuide covers Kakheti wine tours, day trips to Kazbegi and Mtskheta, and the Old Town sulphur baths.
