Tbilisi Introduction

admin

When doing a Tbilisi Introduction I think it’s helpful to mention that This Georgian city is very close to Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is the capital of Georgia so it’s an important city but the main areas are fairly compact and easy to get around. There is public transport but everyone recommends using a Bolt hired Car Since it’s easy and very inexpensive. The city is facing same population pressures of most cities in the world since young people are moving away from the countryside to more opportunities in the metropolitan areas. It’s a good walking city, not expensive and the food is delicious. If you visit make sure to try all the different kinds of Georgian food you can. The variety is very interesting.
