Itineraries for Your Trip to Tbilisi
2 Days in Tbilisi for First Timers
With two days in Tbilisi, you have enough time to see the city’s top landmarks, sample Georgia’s famous wine and cuisine, shop at a flea market, and check out a lively nightlife scene. Here are a few ways to spend 48 hours in the Georgian capital.
Hit the ground running on your first morning, and check off the city’s major sights on a private or group city tour. With its winding streets and atmospheric alleys, Tbilisi’s Old Town is best discovered on foot. Alternatively, a hop-on hop-off bus tour allows you to create your own itinerary while getting around faster.
Spend the afternoon learning about Georgia’s excellent cuisine on a food tour. Options sometimes include market visits and cooking lessons taught by locals.
Immerse yourself in the city’s after-dark vibe on a crawl through some of Tbilisi’s best nighttime haunts. Hang out in a few local bars, or head straight for the hottest clubs with a VIP skip-the-line pass.
Take the opportunity to see any parts of the city you might have missed the day before. Stroll along Rustaveli, Tbilisi’s main central avenue, and stop in at the Georgian National Museum and the National Gallery. Afterward, browse the Dry Bridge antique market for unique souvenirs.
Georgia is known as the birthplace of wine, so don’t miss a chance to learn about the country’s viticultural history. Wine tours take travelers to a handful of wine producers for tastings and an introduction to local wine culture.
After dark, ride the funicular to the observation deck on Mount Mtatsminda to see Tbilisi lit up at night. Or, head to the Funicular Restaurant Complex for a dinner of traditional Georgian food and wine accompanied by panoramic views.
