Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia, a small country in the South Caucasus between the Black Sea and Azerbaijan, not the US state that shares its name. Two days is a realistic, cheap way to cover the Old Town core: sulfur baths, a hilltop fortress, Rustaveli Avenue, and more khachapuri than one stomach should attempt.

Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia, the small South Caucasus country between the Black Sea and Azerbaijan, not the US state of the same name. Seven cheap days is enough for a full Georgia loop out of Tbilisi: the whole Old Town core, Mtskheta’s UNESCO monasteries, a long mountain day up to Kazbegi, a full day in the Kakheti wine region, a cave-town and Gori day, and a slower final day to close things out.
