Tbilisi
Sulphur baths, 8,000 vintages, carved balconies and a one-year visa-free welcome.

Vue d'ensemble
Tbilisi sits in a gorge of the Mtkvari river between a fortress and a mountain, its old town a tumble of crumbling wooden balconies, Persian-style bathhouses and courtyard life, its newer districts a mix of Soviet blocks, art nouveau mansions and glass bridges. The welcome is a year's visa-free stay for most Western passports, a 1 percent tax regime for small freelancers, cheap central apartments and a wine and feasting culture (the supra) that treats guests as sacred. The Caucasus mountains, Kakheti's vineyards and the Black Sea are a marshrutka away.
Pourquoi visiter
For the easiest long-term stay in the world on paper, a culture unlike anywhere in Europe or Asia, and mountains that rival the Alps at a quarter of the cost.

Activités
Par style de voyage
Une base de données de destinations, sept vues. L'adéquation est un score éditorial sur cinq.
Cheap hostels in Sololaki, 1-lari khinkali, mountains by marshrutka and the overland road to Armenia and Turkey.
Volunteering, TEFL and the easiest year-long stay anywhere; Kazbegi and Svaneti for the adventure.
A year without paperwork, low taxes for freelancers, cheap flats, a big community; summers are hot and winters cold.
Voyageurs longue durée dans le monde
The Caucasus crossroads: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey overland, Central Asia by cheap flight.
Low costs and a year's stay; healthcare is adequate privately, and residence permits are available for property owners and others.
Wine courses, Georgian language, trekking in Svaneti and Tusheti, and a feast culture that stops the clock.
Voyageurs sac au dos expérimentés
Charming and cheap, with good guesthouses; hills, steps and pavements take energy, and the mountains want a car and driver.
Pratique
Sécurité
Low crime. Traffic and crumbling pavements are the physical hazards; political demonstrations on Rustaveli Avenue can be large and are usually announced.
Arnaques courantes
Few. Occasional taxi overcharging (use Bolt), and bars in the old town with tourist price lists.
Connectivité et travail à distance
Good fibre (50 to 200 Mbps) in most apartments and cafes; coworking at Impact Hub, Terminal, Lokal and others; the community is large and well organised online.
The nomad world's easiest visa, the Individual Entrepreneur 1 percent tax regime (consult an accountant), cheap apartments, cafes and coworking, and a long-established community; summer heat and the 2022-era rent rise are the caveats.

Georgian (its own alphabet); Russian widely understood by older people, English by the young. The nomad scene runs in English.
Étiquette culturelle
Guests are 'from God': accept food and toasts, never refuse a supra invitation lightly, dress modestly in churches (headscarves for women), and avoid politics about Russia unless invited.
Assurance et santé
Private clinics (Aversi, Evex, MediClub) are good value; insurance recommended; mountain rescue cover for the Caucasus.
