22 Affordable Destinations That Feel Like Luxury Without the Price Tag

21. Tbilisi, Georgia

Tbilisi blends old-world charm with bohemian cool—and it does luxury incredibly well on a budget. Nestled in the Caucasus, the Georgian capital offers spa hotels, boutique wine bars, and traditional bathhouses that rival Budapest’s famous spas. Stay in beautifully restored historic homes turned five-star inns, enjoy wine tastings in underground cellars, and dine on lavish feasts of khachapuri and local meats with flowing Georgian wine—all for what you’d pay for a quick lunch in Paris. The city’s warm hospitality, distinctive architecture, and emerging art scene make it one of the most underrated luxury destinations in Europe.
