Caucasian jewel between Europe and Asia

Impressive natural areas, ancient cave dwellings and hot springs make Georgia a destination full of contrasts and beauty.
East Georgia: wine, mountains and history
The eastern region is known for its wine tradition dating back thousands of years. Here you will find charming villages, Orthodox monasteries on mountain peaks and vineyards among rolling hills. The majestic mountain ranges of Kazbegi and the rugged nature of Tushëti make the area popular with hikers and nature lovers.
Cities full of character and hospitality
Cities like Tbilisi and Kutaisi combine Eastern mysticism with European flair. In Tbilisi, you will find a maze of alleyways, old bathhouses, colourful balconies and modern architecture. The Georgian capital bustles with life with festivals, art, local markets and unique cuisine that underlines Georgian hospitality.
Travelling through Georgia
Whether travelling by hire car or chauffeur-driven, Georgia offers a diverse mix of culture, nature and adventure. Take breathtaking drives through mountain passes, hike past mountain lakes and medieval fortresses, or taste artisan wine at a family-run winery. Georgia is a country that surprises and amazes, an ideal destination for those seeking authenticity, tranquillity and adventure.
Georgia has a surprisingly diverse climate thanks to its location between mountains and sea. The best time to travel depends on your interests and the region you want to visit. Each season has its own charm, whether you like hiking, wine tasting or soaking up culture. Here is an overview by season:
Spring (April - June): An ideal time to explore the country. The valleys are in bloom, the mountains are still covered with snow and temperatures are pleasant. Perfect for a tour of cultural highlights and a first taste of Georgian cuisine and hospitality.
Summer (July - August): The most popular period for nature lovers and hikers. Mountain regions like Svanetia and Kazbegi are easily accessible then. The Black Sea coast also offers relaxation with sun, sea and a lively atmosphere. Bear in mind hot temperatures in the east and crowds in popular areas.
Autumn (September - October): Highly recommended. Harvest time brings vibrant wine harvest festivals, mild temperatures and beautiful autumn colours in the wine regions. This season combines perfect weather with fewer tourists, and offers plenty of opportunities for walks, tastings and cultural excursions.
Winter (November - March): For those who love snow and tranquillity. In regions like Gudauri and Bakuriani, you can ski or snowboard in impressive mountain surroundings. Tbilisi exudes a cosy atmosphere in the winter months, with hot springs, cosy cafés and winter dishes.
Note: Due to its mountainous nature, weather conditions can vary greatly from region to region. In the high Caucasus, there is snow until spring, while in the lowlands it is spring-like early in the year. For those looking for tranquillity, mild temperatures and rich experiences, spring and autumn in particular are the best choice.
Georgia is a country where ancient culture, breathtaking nature and unparalleled hospitality come together. From high mountain peaks to historic cities and fertile wine valleys, each region has its own charm and character.
