Beautiful landscapes. Young, dynamic cities. Georgia is a country full of contrasts and cultural treasures. We show you in our video: Georgia in 5 minutes.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>

How do you get to Georgia? There are only a few direct flights from European Cities to Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi. But you can fly with a stopover via Istanbul. From there there are several connections a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Let's start in the capital of Georgia! Tbilisi - or Tbilisi - is the capital of Georgia. More than a million people live here. You hardly notice that in the old town. The Peace Bridge was opened in 2010 - and is now a landmark of the city. Take the cable car up to the Narikala Fortress. From here you have a great view of the whole city. Another beautiful vantage point is the Mtatsminda amusement park. Treat yourself to a beer in the evening at Fabrika, a former Soviet sewing factory. Today it is an art and culture center, with many cafes, bars, and hip shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For the next day, we recommend a trip out of the city, heading north to the Russian border. At GoTrip, you can hire a driver who will drive you all day for a fixed price. There are several stops along the way. Ananuri Castle, several beautiful reservoirs, sheep and cows everywhere. There is also a monument in the middle of nowhere, erected in 1983 to celebrate the friendship between Georgia and Russia. After a 3-hour drive, you reach your destination: the Gergeti Trinity Church in Stepandsminda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Georgia has a lot more to discover than the Tbilisi region: If you want to explore the whole country on your own, you can do that easily with a rental car. But make sure you take a 4x4 vehicle because the roads are often in poor condition. The Jvari Monastery was built in the 6th century. On a hill, with a beautiful view. Down in the village of Mtskheta there is a cathedral that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Uplistsikhe is a rock and cave city that is only an hour's drive away and is also worth seeing. Here you can learn more about the life of the ancient Georgians. People are said to have lived in Uplistsikhe over 2000 years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The journey continues west, initially towards Kutaisi. On the way you will discover many old Soviet buildings in the villages, especially if you are not driving on the motorway but on country roads. An ascetic monk lived on the Katski Pillar until 2015. In Kutaisi you should dare to take a ride on the cable car. Afterwards, visit the local market, with homemade wine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Batumi is an upcoming port city right on the Black Sea. It's quite loud here, with new buildings being built everywhere. Treat yourself to one last khachapuri, a cheese-filled bread that you can find everywhere in Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
