Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the spa town: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from June to September; quietest from November to April.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Borjomi is depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Georgian lari. UK Foreign Office: avoid all travel to parts. Everything for Georgia: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

Being there

On arrival

  • Paying — Bank cards, including contactless, work on Tbilisi's metro and buses and in many restaurants; carry small lari notes, as taxi drivers often claim to have no change.
  • UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
  • Tipping — Many restaurants add a 10–15% service charge without saying so; check the bill first. Tips are usual in Western-style places in Tbilisi, not in traditional ones or bars.

Getting around Borjomi

  • Apps — Rides: Bolt, Maxim, Yandex Go. Maps: Google Maps. Messages: WhatsApp, Viber. Hosts, drivers and restaurants expect WhatsApp; set it up before you arrive, as it needs an SMS code to activate.

The centre of Borjomi is small enough to walk. City bus no. 1 goes from Borjomi‘s central square all the way to Likani and back. More on Wikivoyage

Help

  • Emergency — 112 (any emergency).
    TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.
