Wealthy residentialHigher pricesQuiet, family-friendly+2

The upscale district. Safe, quiet, expensive. G.Vino for natural wine. Far from main attractions - you'll commute to sightseeing. Good if you want a quiet residential feel and don't mind paying more.

Residential area with Tbilisi's coffee scene. Good for remote workers and longer stays. Quiet at night with not much nightlife - you'll go to other areas for that. Safe and walkable, about 15 minutes from the Old Town.

Main avenue with museums/theaterSteep side streetsCentral location+2

Central area along Rustaveli Avenue with museums, Opera House, and the funicular to the park. Walking distance to most areas. The main avenue is busy and safe; side streets going up the hill are quieter. Steep terrain.
