Its location between Europe and Asia and its status as one of the oldest cities in the world make it a prime spot for travelers interested in both ancient history and current events in Eurasia.

Georgia has always been a meeting point of different peoples and cultures, and it continues to be a curious cross-section of ancient and modern, as well as of Soviet-rooted and Georgian traditions. Be familiar with Georgian Language and culture: folk dances & music.
