Best day structure
Spend day 1 in Old Tbilisi, sulfur baths and Narikala. Use day 2 for Mtskheta, Jvari and Svetitskhoveli. Day 3 can be the Georgian Military Road to Kazbegi with an early start.
Open the Tbilisi routeWhen to use a car
A car is not useful inside central Tbilisi, but it helps for Mtskheta and Kazbegi. In winter, pick a vehicle with proper tires and enough power for mountain roads.
Open the mapWhat to skip
Do not force Kakheti or Batumi into the same three days. The transfers will turn the trip into a checklist.
FAQ

Can Kazbegi be done as a day trip?
Yes, it is a classic day trip from Tbilisi, but winter conditions around the Cross Pass can change the plan.
