Tbilisi Weather in November

Mild days, chilly evenings

November feels like autumn in Tbilisi, but the change from October is clear. Afternoons can be pleasant for wandering the Old Town or strolling Rustaveli Avenue. Evenings turn cold, so outdoor dinners may lose their charm. Rain is limited to about six days on average, but clouds and shorter daylight can make the city feel grey.

The weather suits museums, cafés and a soak in the sulfur baths of Abanotubani. You can still visit Narikala, though wet paths and early dusk make a long hike less appealing. Save the hills around the city for a brighter day.

A quieter month

November is calmer than the busy summer and early autumn months. You'll usually find fewer visitors around the Narikala cable car and Shardeni Street, and accommodation prices tend to ease after October. It's not the cheapest month everywhere, but you can often enjoy the sights with less competition.

If you hate crowds, November is a good time for a city break. Giorgoba, St George's Day, falls on November 23. It's an important Orthodox holiday, though it's not a large visitor festival. Some businesses may close for the day.

Make the most of the chill

Travelling with kids? Keep an indoor stop in reserve for a cloudy afternoon. The Georgian National Museum on Rustaveli Avenue is a useful choice, especially when the weather turns damp.

For a local warm-up, head to Abanotubani's sulfur bath district after exploring the Old Town. The baths are a Tbilisi tradition, and a hot soak feels especially welcome after a chilly walk. November's shorter days also make it worth timing your Narikala visit for daylight, rather than leaving the viewpoint until evening.
