Newsweek Publishes Article About Georgia

The American edition of Newsweek has published an article about Georgia, calling it “Europe’s new cultural hub.”

The article reads that Georgia is one of the most attractive destinations for experienced travelers in 2019.

“Georgia, that former Soviet satellite, seems more emboldened than ever to embrace its European roots: the capital, Tbilisi, is already being buzzed about as ''the next Berlin.” And some 70 miles away, on the outskirts of Kakheti, the revived cultural mecca of Tsinandali is coming into its own,” Newsweek writes.

The article also compares Tsinandali to Spain’s Bilbao, adding “what Bilbao did for art, Tsinandali will do for classical music—with the first ever Tsinandali Cultural Festival in September 2019.”

When speaking about the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, the article mentions that cobblestoned streets, medieval churches and history are everywhere. 

“And mostly, one would assume, they love that Tbilisi is nowhere near overrun with tourists. They dine in its cafés and party at its late-night raves—fueled, no doubt, on chacha, the heavy-duty grape brandy beloved by locals,” the article reads.
