Georgia in March 2026 – is it worth going? Weather and reviews, air temperature, how to dress, prices in hotels and excursions. What to see in Georgia in March, where to go in Tbilisi and Batumi – says Eurotraveler.

For some, March is not the beginning of spring, but the end of winter. Time cold and not very happynot bad for the next “jumps” and achievements at work. But it is absolutely not intended for “some kind of” travel and discovering new places.

What can you say to this? Nothing – everyone has every right to graze their own “cockroaches”.

For our part, we consider the first month of spring great time for excursion, educational, tourism. And therefore we invite you on a trip to Georgia in March.

The country, although mountainous, is still quite warm and southern. Well familiar with such a concept as snow, but at the same time weakly associated with frost.

And also very interesting, and often very hospitable. Bright, seething with emotions, charging with energy and mood. Full of amazing places – what to visit first in Georgia.

In short, perfect for spring meeting and creating a good mood!

Weather in Georgia in March

90 percent of travelers planning to visit Georgia start their trip from its capital. Therefore, it is probably quite logical that we will begin our story with the weather in March in Tbilisi.

So, the first thing you should know is that she unstable. But at the same time, only after leaving the terminal building (or opening the car window) will you feel that yes – you were not deceived! It smells like spring hereshe has already arrived: the atmosphere is vibrating and electrified from this one fact.

The air temperature, however, will remain within its usual range. within the widest range.

Therefore, at the beginning of March in Tbilisi it can be +2-5 degrees Celsius. And just a few days later, for example, on World Women’s Day – everything plus 15-20!

Are you expecting things to continue to increase? This is far from a fact – in other years, for a couple of weeks in mid-March, the air in Tbilisi does not want to warm up above +6-8-10 °C.

But at the end of the month the weather does us a favour.

And if it does not always drive the street thermometers to +15-17 °C, then it does not allow them to drop below +10-12 °C. Well, maybe at night – here it happens as much as +5-8 °C and … zero or Generally mild frost.

Most days in Tbilisi in March are cloudy or sunny, but still dry.

Statistically! Because if you’re unlucky, you’ll be traveling all the time pass under the crying sky – like, for example, the author of this review.

But you won’t be shocked or disappointed – Tbilisi is such a positive place!

The average monthly precipitation in the capital of Georgia during March is 30-35 mm. The number of rainy days is 3-4, no more.

How to dress

It must be remembered that most houses (and hotels) in Georgia heated with electricity. And, naturally, many hoteliers try to save money.

Therefore, when traveling here during the not warmest time of year (and March, of course, is one of them), you need to take with you a whole suitcase of warm clothes.

Not winter ones, of course. But woolen socks, all kinds pullovers and sweatshirts, even hats and scarvesif you know you have a habit of freezing,

be sure to put it

We also recommend that you take into account that if in Tbilisi itself you are almost certainly you won’t find snowthen during a trip to the mountainous regions, and along the same Georgian Military Road, you will admire and on snowdrifts and on muddy ground.

Well, you will almost certainly walk along them too – so take with you how waterproof shoes and ski pants.

Naturally, those who decide to spend all or part of their vacation on the ski slopes in Gudauri and Bakuriani will also need appropriate equipment. Or even in Svaneti!

Prices 2026

Inspired natural optimism — you can rent an apartment or a room near the center of Tbilisi from March 8 (for example) with an amount of about 35-40 € for two. A couple traveling with a small child will pay 40-45 € per night.

The fresh Old Tbilisi B&B hotel, located near the Presidential Palace and the main cathedral of the country, Tsminda Sameba, boasts a good location and excellent views from the windows.

The overall rating on Booking is 9.2, recent reviews are very good. And yes – “very tasty” breakfast included at a (modest) price!

On the same right bank of the Kura, that is, opposite Dzveli Tbilisi, are located inexpensive but spacious Old Tbilisi Apartments. For about 40 € per night, its two bedrooms can accommodate up to 5 people.

Transport and excursions

Flights from Moscow to Tbilisi in early March (round trip) will cost approximately 350-400 € per passenger and his luggage. You can rent a car right at the airport for as little as 30 € per day!

Participating in a bright, informal walk with a guide through spring Tbilisi will ruin you by “as much as” 15-20 €. A trip to Mtskheta and Uplistsikhe or, for example, to Gergeti, to the Trinity Church costs up to 25 €!

Kutaisi

The second largest city in Georgia in March somewhat rawerbut also a warm place. The air temperature in most cases fluctuates between +8-14 °C, the trees are blooming, the grass is turning green, the sun is shining…

However, problems may arise with the latter –

at the beginning of spring Kutaisi – not the sunniest place on the planet

The precipitation rate here is twice as high as in Tbilisi, so waterproof windbreakers can come in handy.

And keep in mind that from temperature changes according to the “day-night” pattern, as well as simply cold years, when spring starts at +15 degrees Celsius and continues with a maximum temperature of +5-7 in Kutaisi also not insured.

Batumi

In many ways similar to Kutaisi – March is also somewhat warmer and happier (in the sense of nature’s flowering) month. The air temperature in the first ten days can reach +15-17 °C, but no one can predict how the situation will develop further.

Temperatures up to +17-19 °C are more likely. But sometimes in the middle and even in the 20s of March the weather in Batumi remains cold. And the air refuses to warm up above +5 °C.

On the threshold of April – and as we know, in Russia at this time schoolchildren are given a week-long vacation – in Batumi sometimes it comes real summer heat. With air temperatures reaching +22-24 degrees Celsius.

In general, we recommend that a couple of days spent at the beginning of spring on the Georgian seaside will give you strength hold out until summer vacation!

Things to do

You can soak a little and feel as if you were born again in the local sulfur baths (there are contraindications). Well, to consolidate success in reviving interest in life – any neurologist will confirm this to you – you definitely need go shopping.

Fortunately, there are more than enough opportunities for this in Tbilisi

It is well known that the Georgian capital is often made into a kind of base, from where it is convenient to travel trips to Mtskheta and Kakhetieven in Borjomi and Gori.

Where else for a day, and where for two – where else to celebrate March 8, if not in the “city of love”, Sighnaghi? Standing above the magnificent Alazani Valley?!

Nothing will stop you from making a trip to the Transcaucasian republic and even more memorable.

For example, after a few days, move from Tbilisi (Sighnaghi) to Gudauri and there try out the ski slopes (the skiing season there usually lasts until April). Or take a less simple, but therefore more interesting step – go see Svaneti.

Well, at the same time you can also go skiing or snowboarding there. Fortunately, there will be even more snow in Tetnuldi and Hatsvali than in Gudauri (note that in March the risk of avalanches increases, and this is deadly).

There is nothing to say about a trip to Kutaisi, in March simply saturated with the energy of awakening nature. Just like about Batumi – who wouldn’t want to? meet spring on the shore maybe not the warmest, but still the southern, Black Sea?
