Georgia's hot-spring capital and food revelation
Georgia's mountainous capital balances Persian-Georgian-Russian-Soviet history — sulphur baths, the world's oldest wine tradition (8,000 years), and one of Europe's most underrated food scenes.




Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Metro is cheap; Bolt taxi; walk old town.
Wine + supra dinner ritual is essential — 50+ toasts is normal.
Very safe and welcoming.
