Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia. Its old town reflects a long, complicated history. Its diverse architecture encompasses Eastern Orthodox churches, ornate art nouveau buildings and Soviet Modernist structures. The main sights of the city are clustered in the Old Tbilisi district. This area s well-known for its sulfur bathhouses fed by natural hot springs. Nearby you can find pretty modern restaurants.

Tbilisi is rich in history. It is one of the oldest cities in Europe, therefore it has lots of historical sights for you to explore. Ruled by various Middle-Eastern power of the middle centuries, and later on by the Russian Empire, the city still hides traces of those epochs in its backstreets. It has diverse food options. Street art is booming here. The living cost is also cheap.

I’d keep in mind that moving here as opposed to vacationing here are two completely different things. Adapting to the place is not so much of a problem compared to dealing with racism. Being a person of color is not very welcomed or treated with equality but I cannot disagree with the immense beauty this country holds. It really keeps in touch with nature.

Known for being a friendly nation with stunning nature, Georgia (the country, not the US state) is still an undiscovered country for many in terms of travel, not to say anything about moving here. The capital, Tbilisi, remains traditional but also very multicultural, which adds to its appeal and charm. if you decide to move to Tbilisi, these tips will help you along the way. Tbilisi is a small, lovely city, and it will not be difficult for you to feel comfortable and “at home” here; it’s not European and not Asian city, but everything is nearer and cheaper than in Europe.
