Greenery, blossom and places to visit.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In spring Georgia turns green and plants start to blossom around historic sites, which makes it a good time for monasteries and nature trips. Spring views include Mtskheta from Jvari Monastery, Uplistsikhe, Vardzia and Davit Gareji. Check specific months separately.

Why

  1. In spring the country bursts with green.
  2. Plants around historic monuments start to blossom, which makes the sites look their best.
  3. Spring is a good time for forest hikes, with more than 90 lakes and around 60 waterfalls in the country.

Details

The monuments look good all year, and in spring the plants around them turn green and blossom. Good spring choices include the view of Mtskheta from Jvari, Uplistsikhe, Vardzia, Davit Gareji, Natlismtsemeli, Gelati and Bagrati. Check separately which flowers bloom.

Tip

Plan the trip around specific places from the list and check the weather before leaving: check months and temperatures separately.

What may differ

Blossom timing and weather depend on region and altitude, and spring comes later in the mountains than on the coast and in the lowlands.

Common misconception

There is nothing to see in Georgia in spring before summer starts.

What actually happens

The monuments look spectacular all year round, and in spring plants blossom around them.
