Practical overview
Georgia in Western Asia: Tbilisi, Georgian and the lari
A first look at Georgia’s location in Western Asia and its national basics to help you start planning a trip.
Georgia is a landlocked country in Western Asia, a useful geographic starting point for planning a trip. Its capital is Tbilisi, its recorded language is Georgian, and its currency is the lari (₾).
A country and a capital with the same name
Here, Georgia means the country in the Caucasus, not the US state of the same name. Tbilisi is its capital and is identified as such in the geographic records consulted. Keep these distinctions in mind when searching for maps, accommodation or travel information.
Language and currency for your first arrangements
The language listed for the country is Georgian. The recorded currency is the lari, with the symbol ₾ and the code GEL. These details help identify national references, but they do not, on their own, describe the payment options available. Check current sources for practical details before you set off.
What to check before finalising your trip
The available information helps locate the country, but does not confirm current flight routes, schedules, fares or services at Tbilisi Airport. Check flights and current transport arrangements directly; the airport record consulted may be out of date and does not confirm that services are currently operating.
A starting overview, not an itinerary
Geography, the capital, language and currency provide a basic framework, not a sightseeing guide. Choosing destinations within Georgia or comparing journeys requires up-to-date local sources and specific information about each place. Check each service before relying on it in your plans.
