What to see in Georgia in 3-5 days?
A first-trip route based in Tbilisi.
Short answer
For 3 days, base yourself in Tbilisi: a day for the Old Town, Narikala and the baths, a day for Mtskheta and Jvari, and a day for Kazbegi and Gergeti Church. With 4-5 days, add Kakheti with Sighnaghi and wineries, and Uplistsikhe with Gori, or Borjomi. Leave the sea and Batumi for another trip, as they're 5 hours away by train.
Why
- Tbilisi works well as a base for day trips without moving your luggage.
- Mtskheta and Kazbegi can be combined into one long day.
- In winter the Kazbegi road sometimes closes; go to Kakheti or Borjomi instead.
Details
Renting a car or booking day tours makes this route easier. If you want both mountains and sea, fly into Tbilisi and out of Batumi or Kutaisi.
