There is a special attitude towards children and mothers with children in Georgia. Perhaps because in this country they are very respectful of family values. A trip to Georgia on your own or with the help of a voucher is possible at any time of the year, but if you are confused by the vagaries of the weather, it is better to find out more about the weather before traveling.
When is the best time to relax in Tbilisi?
To answer the question - when is the best time to go to Tbilisi? - not difficult. Winter in the city lasts only 2 months: December and January. Snow during these months is rare, but cloudy and windy. The temperature rises to + 10 ° C during the day, and drops to 0 ° C at night. If you are planning a walk through the city's many establishments, then the weather is not a hindrance to you.
