Overview
A wildly atmospheric capital of sulphur baths, crumbling balconies and a booming café and wine scene. Cheap, friendly and increasingly full of remote workers and solo travellers.

Day-trip to Kazbegi
Dramatic mountain church above the clouds.
Fabrika hostel scene
A converted factory and social hub for travellers.
