"Caucasus Charms, Stories of History"

Georgia Tourism

Georgia is the most visited  country in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. Known for its diverse landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality, Georgia is a destination that offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern vitality. The city's architecture reflects its complex past, with a mix of medieval, neoclassical, and Soviet-era structures.

One of Georgia's most defining features is its breathtaking natural scenery. From the soaring peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in the north to the rolling vineyards and lush valleys of the Kakheti wine region in the east, the country's landscapes are as varied as they are stunning. The country's rugged terrain is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, skiing, and paragliding, all against the backdrop of dramatic vistas.

Georgian hospitality, deeply ingrained in the culture, is evident throughout the country. Locals are known for their warm and welcoming nature, and it's not uncommon to be invited into a Georgian home for a traditional feast. The country's rich history is also a prominent feature, with ancient churches, fortresses, and monasteries dotting the landscape. Among these, the cave city of Uplistsikhe and the serene Gelati Monastery are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, offering a glimpse into Georgia's historical significance.

Finally, no discussion of Georgia is complete without mentioning its world-renowned wine. The country is one of the oldest wine-producing regions globally, with a winemaking tradition dating back over 8,000 years. A trip to Georgia is not complete without a visit to a local winery, where you can partake in traditional wine-making rituals and sample some of the finest wines in the world.

Must Know Before You Travel to Georgia

  • Check the visa requirements for your nationality before traveling to Georgia. Citizens from 94 countries including Australia, UAE, USA, Japan, Germany and several others can visit Georgia for up to 12 months without a visa. It's important to verify the current visa policies and any required documents before your trip.
  • Azerbaijan is extending its special quarantine regime until January 2, 2024, at 06:00 AM, “with the aim to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) infection and to take measures to mitigate its potential consequences.” The prolonged quarantine will continue to restrict land travel between Georgia and Azerbaijan until that date.
  • Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. You should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Georgia for the latest details.
  • Land and sea borders are open, except for the border with Azerbaijan, which requires special permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan to cross.
  • The Georgian land border with Russia near Stepantsminda (Kazbegi) is open 24/7. It's illegal to enter or exit Georgia via Abkhazia or South Ossetia. There's no official border control in these regions.
  • Georgia, like many other regions around the world, observes Daylight Saving Time (DST), hence the local time is GMT +3 in the summer and GMT +4 in winter.
  • Local emergency numbers: 112 for general emergencies and 122 for police.
