My next adventure: Tbilisi (Georgia) – May 2026

Month: May 2026

Day 2 (Tbilisi) – Old Town Accessibility

The Old Town is situated a mere 15 minute walk from the Ibis Styles hotel, however, it’s worth noting that the route chosen by Google Maps is not necessarily the most accessible. As a result, it maybe prudent for one to plan before heading out to avoid complications with drop curbs etc. As with most ex Soviet countries, it’s seems like drop curbs are a little hit and miss around Tbilisi, for example, there might be a drop curb on one side of said road but not the other side.

The majority of the Old Town is pedestrianised meaning that a wheelchair user can roll along it with ease…

One of the most notable sights of the Old Town in Tibilisi is the Clock Tower which can be accessed by multiple accessible routes…

Day 1.5 (Georgia) – ibis Styles Tbilisi Center

As of 2026, wheelchair accessible hotel options in Tbilisi are rather limited, however, thanks to growing tourism amongst other factors, global hotel chains such as ibis are beginning to make an appearance. Although a number of ibis hotels are to be located in the city, one chose the ibis Styles Tbilisi Center due to its proximity to a number of landmarks.

In true European/West Asian fashion, the wheelchair accessible room at the ibis Styles is fairly generous in size complete with an accessible wet room with a shower seat etc…

However it is worth checking with the hotel that they have definitely allocated one the wheelchair accessible room as they might attempt to give you a family room.

Day 1 (Tblisi) – Wheelchair Accessible Transportation

Georgia is located a mere 5 hour flight away from the UK and is, as of 2026, one of the up and coming tourist destinations, especially for those seeking an adventure. Despite this, wheelchair accessible transportation in Georgia remains scarce, more so outside of the capital, Tbilisi.

In recent years, several organisations have began to promote inclusivity across Georgia. Through these, one became aware of ‘Adapted taxi minivan‘ who provide wheelchair accessible transportation throughout Georgia including airport transfers (costing around 150 GEL if in Tbilisi). The vehicle itself is fairly spacious and will accommodate most wheelchairs , however, the lift may not be suitable for all….

One can also hire the vehicle for the day for an affordable cost which came in handy when arranging the trip to KassLand. It is worth noting that, despite the Facebook page being in Georgian, English is available.
