Political unrest in Georgia

Since the parliamentary elections on 26 October 2024 and especially since 28 November 2024, the situation has been tense. Demonstrations are taking place in Tbilisi and other cities in the country, with partly violent clashes between demonstrators and the security forces. There are also reports of injuries and arrests. The risk of suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a violent confrontation cannot be ruled out.

Before and during your trip, stay informed about the current situation by monitoring the media, consulting with your tour operator or local contact person, and follow the instructions of local authorities. Avoid large gatherings and demonstrations of any kind.
