- Expect increased visitor interest in Tbilisi through 2026, so book flights and central hotels early
- Popular sites such as the Old Town, Narikala and Rustaveli Avenue may see higher footfall
- Consider visiting shoulder months for lower prices and fewer crowds
Tbilisi has been included among Google’s top trending global destinations for 2026, according to the Georgian National Tourism Administration. The ranking reflects rising search interest in the Georgian capital among international travellers planning trips over the coming year.
The listing highlights Tbilisi’s growing visibility on the global travel map, alongside its mix of historic architecture, modern districts, sulphur baths and restaurant scene. Tourism officials said the recognition is expected to support further growth in visitor numbers to the city and the wider country.
No additional details were given on the methodology behind the ranking or on specific attractions driving the increased interest.
What it means for travellers
Travellers planning a visit to Tbilisi in 2026 should book flights and centrally located accommodation well in advance, as demand is likely to rise. Visiting during shoulder seasons such as spring or autumn may offer better prices and smaller crowds at popular sites like the Old Town and Narikala Fortress.
