Tbilisi Weather in March

March weather in Tbilisi

March feels like a changeable start to spring. Afternoons can be mild, but mornings and evenings are chilly, with lows around 2°C. Rain falls on about eight days, and cloudy skies are common, so don't expect steady sunshine.

It's a good month for wandering the Old Town, crossing the Peace Bridge and visiting the National Gallery. You can pause in a sulfur bath in Abanotubani if the weather turns damp. Save long mountain walks for more settled conditions; muddy paths and cool spells can make them less pleasant. April is warmer and rainier, so March sits between winter's chill and the busier spring season.

Holidays and local life

Georgia marks Mother's Day on March 3 and International Women's Day on March 8. These are public holidays, and some businesses may change their hours. There isn't a major citywide festival to plan your trip around, so you can focus on Tbilisi's everyday rhythms: a slow meal of khinkali dumplings or a walk along Rustaveli Avenue.

Travelling with kids? The parks around Rike are an easy break between sights, though a rainy day may call for a museum instead.

Crowds and practical tips

March is generally quieter than April and the popular September–October stretch. You'll have more breathing room around the Old Town's lanes, and accommodation may cost less than in busier months, though prices vary.

For a useful local stop, take the cable car from Rike Park up to Narikala Fortress. It saves you a steep climb, and you can look over the city even when the sky is grey. If rain starts while you're exploring Abanotubani, duck into a sulfur bath rather than trying to squeeze in a long outdoor walk.
