Although prices are occasionally quoted in US dollars and euros, Georgian law requires that all goods and services are paid for in local currency. 1USD = App. 2.7 Georgian Lari (GEL) (10 Jan 2025). Pounds sterling, US dollars and euros are easily exchanged in the city. All goods and services are paid in local currency. Major hotels, supermarkets and restaurants in Tbilisi usually accept credit cards. There are ATMs in most major towns and cities. Visa and MasterCard are the most commonly accepted payment processors.
  • Weather (Check the latest weather update before departure): The climate of Georgia is mild and rainy on the coast and in the western plain, while it is more continental and arid in the central and eastern inland areas. In the mountains, it is obviously colder. Georgia is a country located between Europe and Asia and overlooking the eastern coasts of the Black Sea. The mountains of the Caucasus to the north separate it from Russia. Winter along the coast is mild, since the average temperature in January is about 8 °C (46 °F). The sea moderates the climate, while the Caucasus Mountains in the north partially protect this area from cold winds. However, beyond the Caucasus, we find the freezing Russian plains, and a bit of cold air can sometimes surpass the mountains and reach the coast: there are on average about ten days with snowfall per year. However, even in these cases, the temperature generally only drops to -2/-3 °C (27/28 °F). Summer is warm or even a bit hot, with a daily average around 24 °C (75 °F) in July and August; the sun often shines, but as we mentioned, there can be rainfall as well, which in summer occurs mainly in the form of downpours or thunderstorms. On the hottest days, the temperature generally reaches 35 °C (95 °F) on the coast and 37/38 °C (99/100 °F) in the western plain.
  • Tipping: Tipping is not mandatory in Georgia, but it is certainly appreciated – especially in restaurants and cafes where wages are low. If the service was good and you can afford it, please consider leaving a generous tip for your waiter (10-15% is standard).
  • Smoking: A smoking ban in all indoor public places comes into force in Georgia. The law on tobacco control has come into force today meaning that smoking in public places such as bars, restaurants and offices is forbidden.
  • Shopping souvenirs: Shopping and entertainment centers are open generally from 10:00 to 22:00 hrs. Unique Souvenirs in Georgia: Georgian Blue Tablecloths, Georgian wine horn, Georgian wine, Georgian Churchkhela, Georgian Enamel Jewellery, Georgian Modern Tablecloth
  • Hotel Accommodation: Check-in at the hotel usually takes place after 14:00 -15:00 hrs (Check-in time may differ in different hotel). Upon arrival for accommodation at the hotel, you need to present your passport. It is also recommended that you take a hotel’s visiting card so that, if you get lost in the city, go back to the hotel without problems. The address of the hotel is also indicated in the tourist’s road book, which you were given along with the tourist’s envelope. When leaving the hotel, pay for additional services and take a document confirming payment.
UNDERSTAND THE DRESS CODE FOR VISITING RELIGIOUS SITES

There is a strict dress code for visiting Orthodox churches, monasteries and convents in Georgia. The same applies for mosques. For men, this means covered knees (no shorts) and covered shoulders (no singlet tops). Women must cover their shoulders and knees as well, and cover their hair. Some churches in rural areas require women to be wearing a long skirt rather than fitted pants. In my experience, a long jacket that’s zipped up will do
