What you gain in May
- ↑Possibly Tbilisi's finest month: 23°C, 7.4 sunshine hours, and the city fully operational after winter; the rooftop bars, terrace restaurants, and café culture all make sense in May
- ↑The Sololaki and Vera neighbourhoods are at their most attractive in spring — flowering trees against crumbling balconied facades is the quintessential Tbilisi aesthetic, fully realised in May
- ↑Wine tours to Kakheti (Georgia's wine region, 2 hours east) are excellent in May before the summer heat sets in; day-trip options are plentiful and well-operated
What you sacrifice
- ↓May can bring heavy spring rainfall; 77mm means rainy days are possible and outdoor plans need contingencies
- ↓International visitor numbers start climbing in May; the most popular sites — Narikala, Abanotubani, Rustaveli Avenue — are noticeably busier than in winter
- ↓Prices have moved up from their winter low; May is affordable by European standards but not at the rock-bottom level of January and February
