Baku — Tbilisi Cheap Flight Tickets

Tbilisi: old streets, warm welcome

Tbilisi is one of the easiest and most rewarding short trips from Baku. The Georgian capital sits in a valley along the Mtkvari river, with an Old Town of wooden balconies, the domed sulphur baths of Abanotubani and the Narikala fortress watching over everything. Rustaveli Avenue, modern bridges and lively neighbourhoods such as Sololaki and Vera add a contemporary side, while the city's food and wine culture — khachapuri, khinkali and countless wine bars — is reason enough to visit.

Tbilisi is great for weekend city breaks, food and wine trips, friends' getaways and as a base for day trips to Mtskheta or the Kakheti wine region. Spring and autumn are usually the most pleasant seasons, with comfortable temperatures for walking; autumn is also harvest time in the vineyards. Summers can be hot in the city, and winters are cool but generally mild compared with the mountains.

Airports: GYD and TBS

From Baku you depart from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD). In Georgia you arrive at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), named after Shota Rustaveli and located south-east of the city. City buses and taxis connect the airport with the centre, and ride-hailing apps are widely used in Tbilisi. Agree on the fare or use an app before you get into a taxi, and allow extra time if you arrive in the evening rush.

Flying is not the only way to travel between the two capitals, so if you are weighing up options, our guide on how to compare travel options helps you look at time, comfort and total cost together.

Practical tips

• Documents and visa: entry rules depend on your citizenship and can change. Check official sources, such as the Georgian government or consulate websites, before you travel.
• Currency: Georgia uses the Georgian lari (GEL). Cards are widely accepted in Tbilisi, and exchange offices are easy to find.
• Time zone: Tbilisi and Baku are in the same time zone, so there is no time difference.
• Comfortable shoes: the Old Town is hilly with cobbled streets, so pack shoes made for walking.
