Best time to visit Georgia from the UK

Best value: Mar–May, Oct. May–Jun and Sep–Oct; Sep for the grape harvest. Busiest and priciest: Jun–Sep.

Best valueBusy and pricierQuietAverage temperature in Tbilisi, °C, 2001–2025 (NASA POWER).

Each bar is the average temperature in Tbilisi for that month, and its colour shows the season for visitors: best value (good weather, fewer crowds and lower prices), busiest and priciest, or quiet (off-peak, sometimes because the weather is poorer).

Our pick: May and OctoberThe warmest of the best-value months (14–18°C), with fewer crowds than peak season.
Peak season: Jun–SepUsually 20–26°C. The busiest time, so book flights and rooms early and expect higher prices.
Quiet season: Nov–FebAround 1–7°C. The cheapest and least crowded time, but cold, so pack layers.
Warmest: July (26°C) · coolest: January (1°C)A 25°C swing between the warmest and coolest months.
