u/Fast-Rock-2032

I am coming to Tbilisi for a week, from May 25th to June 1st, traveling solo.

I don't have a strict itinerary yet, but my tentative plan is to spend most of my time in Tbilisi, with the possibility of heading to the mountains for a day or two—I haven't decided yet.

My questions are: where do you recommend staying for a solo traveler? Also, what are your recommendations for restaurants and coffee shops that locals actually prefer, away from the typical tourist traps that are usually overpriced and lack authentic flavor?
