Tbilisi: wine, sulfur baths and $40 boutique hotels
Why the Georgian capital is the most underrated city break for women this year.
Why go
8,000 years of winemaking, a dramatic old town, and a dining scene that punches far above its prices. Americans can stay visa-free for a full year.
Don't miss
A private room at the Abanotubani sulfur baths (~$30/hr), a day trip to Kakheti wine country, khachapuri at a local bakery, and sunset at Narikala Fortress via cable car.
Money
Boutique hotels in Old Tbilisi: $40–$80. Feast for two with wine: $30. Bolt rides across town: $3.
Jamie's quick tips
- Georgian hospitality is real — expect toasts.
- Dress modestly for churches; bring a scarf.
- Combine with Armenia for a two-country trip.
