A Tbilisi itinerary with baths, wine and mountain day trips
Tbilisi rewards slow wandering: the old town, the domed sulfur baths and long supra dinners. The real draw for many visitors is the day trips, to Kazbegi in the Caucasus and the wine villages of Kakheti. This prompt has your todo.is agent balance the two and plan the mountain road around the weather.
The prompt
- Plan a [NUMBER OF DAYS]-day Tbilisi itinerary for [WHO IS TRAVELLING] in [MONTH]. We're staying in [AREA]. Include the Old Town and Abanotubani sulfur baths, the cable car to Narikala Fortress, the Bridge of Peace, Rustaveli Avenue, the Dry Bridge market and Fabrika. Add day trips to [DAY TRIPS] with the best way to get there (marshrutka, tour or driver) and the road time. Suggest a Georgian dish to try each day (khachapuri, khinkali, badrijani) and one wine bar or supra-style dinner. Check if the Georgian Military Road to Kazbegi is likely open in our month. Send me a PDF by email and a short WhatsApp summary. Don't book anything.
What to change
- [NUMBER OF DAYS]: E.g. "5". Two days for the city, plus one per day trip.
- [WHO IS TRAVELLING]: E.g. "two friends who love wine", "solo traveller", "couple with a baby".
- [MONTH]: E.g. "September". May to June and September to October are best; winter can close the Kazbegi road.
- [AREA]: E.g. "Sololaki", "Old Tbilisi", "Vera", or "suggest one".
- [DAY TRIPS]: E.g. "Kazbegi and Gergeti Trinity Church, Mtskheta, Sighnaghi and Kakheti wineries".

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in your days, month, area and day trips.
- Paste it into todo.is on the Today screen or message your agent on WhatsApp.
- Your agent plans the city days and the day trips and emails a PDF with links and road times.
- Ask for changes like "make Kakheti an overnight", and book the baths and tours yourself.
Tips for a better result
- Book a private bath room at Abanotubani for the evening. Walk-in waits at the popular bathhouses can be long.
- Ask your agent to put Kazbegi on your clearest-weather day. The view of Mount Kazbek is the point of the trip.
- For Kakheti, a driver for the day lets everyone taste wine. Ask your agent to compare a driver with a group tour.
- Tbilisi is hilly and cobbled. Mention any mobility needs so the plan uses the cable car and taxis for climbs.
Tbilisi itinerary: FAQ
- How many days do you need in Tbilisi? Two or three days covers the city. Add a day each for Kazbegi, Kakheti and Mtskheta if you want the best day trips.
- Is the road to Kazbegi open all year? The road usually stays open, but snow and avalanches can close the pass near Gudauri in winter. Check the conditions the day before you go.
- What is the best area to stay in Tbilisi? Sololaki and Old Tbilisi put you within walking distance of the baths and the old town. Vera and Marjanishvili are quieter and close to cafés and Fabrika.
- Can my agent add a Baku leg to the trip? Yes. Ask it to add Baku before or after Tbilisi, and it will compare flights and the overnight train options with links.
