How much does a trip to Georgia cost, and how much money should you bring?
A rough daily and weekly budget, excluding flights.
Short answer
Excluding flights, a budget trip around Georgia costs roughly 120-180 GEL per person per day, and a comfortable one with good accommodation and restaurants 250-400 GEL. That is about 900-2,800 GEL per person per week. Accommodation and season matter most: Batumi is noticeably pricier in summer.
Why
- Accommodation is the biggest cost, with prices varying several times between cheap flats and hotels.
- Eating out is moderately priced: lunch for one is usually 20-40 GEL.
- Transport within and between cities is cheap unless you take taxis over long distances.
Details
Tours, wine and souvenirs quickly add up, so allow a 15-20% buffer. Tourists from Russia need to bring the whole amount in cash, as Russian cards do not work in Georgia.
