Yes. Georgia is one of the safest countries in the region for travellers. Petty crime is uncommon in tourist areas, locals are famously hospitable, and Tbilisi and other cities feel safe to walk in at night. Use the same common sense you would anywhere — keep an eye on your belongings on public transport and at crowded sights.

May, June and September are the sweet spot: warm weather, green mountains, and fewer crowds than peak summer. July and August are hot in the lowlands but ideal for hiking in Svaneti and Kazbegi. Skiing in Gudauri and Bakuriani runs December through early April.

Citizens of about 95 countries — including the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, and most CIS states — can enter Georgia visa-free for up to one year. Other nationalities can apply for an e-visa online before arrival. Always check the latest rules on the official Georgian government portal before booking.
