I have been in Georgia 3 times, I was excited all the time. People are very nice and always ready to help. Police is everywhere and always pleasant. Nobody tries to abuse each other, everybody are smiling. Love these people and that country.
The roads are also filthy and have human faeces/ poop along the road. We saw people pooping just on the pavement next to an open plot of land!! This is common among Georgian locals to poop in public actually because in Georgia (Tbilisi) they don't have public toilets! Georgian women and men do this. It's common to smell pee and see traces of urine streaming off the pavements.
If you're a female tourist, have a friend with you as the Georgian men are known for sexually assaulting (and in a recent case also raping) female tourists. The UK embassy has warned their citizens against Georgian local men who target foreign girls. So be prepared and protect yourself.
Also, male tourists should be careful of the local Georgian woman prostitutes who stand on many streets in Tbilisi. Yes, they are cheap- roughly $30-but be careful because they can infect you as they do not use condoms. Don't be fooled by the cheap price, Georgia is an impoverished country, and healthcare is very poor, so you can and will get infected by the Georgian girls/ prostitutes.

I've spent a few months here, and I've never had any issues.
Georgia is a bad country
Good is Brazil 59 thousand peoples murdered for year
I think that Georgian government got to take the plunge and stop corruption! Patriarchate is overgrown with mafia. Speaking of which, so-called see 'Patriarchate Mafia' manipulate Georgian people. They use a patriarch as the tool of the manipulation. Yeah, crime is low here but it happens everywhere right? You (as the tourist) will never be mistreated by Georgians. They are super hosts, everyone speaks highly of them!!! You are welcome in Georgia!
By the way, i read the mean comment about crime in villages. Guess what, you can wear anything, even 'vivid colors' , you don't have to be modest just be yourself! You will never be outraged because of your race,color,sexuality or gender!
I read in comments that Georgian like/love Russians. Well, NO. Georgian do not love anyone other than themselves, they are just too polite to say that. If you want to be safe and enjoy staying there, NEVER, I mean NEVER discuss politics or History with locals. You can listen, ask questions, but if you are asked to provide your opinion, say that you have no idea about politics in this region, although you know Russia had a war with Georgia, so you just have some questions... Discussing politics (current or something from history book) is nearly never a good idea.
I have been in more than 40 countries around the world and Georgia is one of the most distinctive places I have ever been. It is much more diverse than you might think such for such a small country. Mostly, it is very safe and crime rates are low, but all this statistics that you might come across over the internet is not 100% true for all Georgia. Tbilisi, Batumi and other bigger cities are really safe. Unless you try to get into trouble, you will be safe. People are tolerant and rarely aggressive. It is nearly impossible to find someone who had anything stolen for last 10 or more years. Robberies are extremely low. If you are a bit careful, nobody will steal anything from you. It is true that violent crime level (such as murder and shooting) increased, but such crime nearly never involves foreigners or strangers (Georgians are not aggressive. Usually they do not act offensively).
Smaller villages are totally different from city experience. Rural villages are more aggressive towards foreigners and strangers. To avoid any trouble, you would be better of by sticking to some rules: 1. Always be polite and keep calm; 2. Dress conservatively - avoid vivid colors, shorts and revealing tops (this applies to both men and women); 3. read a bit about eastern orthodox church (you will be visiting lots of churches, so knowing how to behave there is very important).
I spent nearly 10 months in Georgia and it was a wonderful experience. I have never been robbed, offender or otherwise mistreated by anyone.
What I can say about this country is that I never had problems with people when Saakashvili was here.
When the new president came, he let out a lot of people from the jail, and I got my phone stolen, not only that there was an attempt for rape(not all men are like that here, but assholes are everywhere, so I thought u needed to know). So, girls please be careful with the men here, of course unless you are interested in them :)
We have a lot of people from India, Pakistan and Africa here, they study in the Medical University and people are quite nice to them, can't say that they LOVE them here, but they are nice.
Walking around in the night? No problem, just make sure to watch around and not walk in some dark alleys and stuff(which can be said about ANY city)
Make sure to not show that you have a lot of money if that makes sense. People WILL use it. Taxi drivers, in restaurants, etc etc. Be modest, don't show off for your own good.
The city itself is wonderful and very historical.

I'd like to know what is the situation in Georgia now, in 2016. Yes, I read all the post, but the informations are a bit of confused. I'm female and I'm not sure if is safe to go to Georgia alone. I also would like to ask if somebody can send me Georgian online newspapers (www.???).
Thanks, guys!
i am planing to move Georgia Tbilisi with my family and plan to open my own business like restaurant or coffee shop and need to know about its good idea or not.
These days Tbilisi's being a terrible city. really gives me the creeps! almost everyone is rude and negative even with each-others. Liar-stinky-swollen-unsettled citizens of Tbilisi. there are only few places where you can feel safe and comfortable.
NONE OF THEM speaks English, but Russian.
most of Georgians adore Russia despite they bombed and exploded Gori and some other Georgian cities couple of years ago. that's very interesting thing. no fuck*n idea but they still LOVE Russia. only few people tries to protest and not to be like others.
I can surely say that Georgia is 100x times safer than USA, UK or any european country. It is in South-Eastern region but It is nowhere near Russia, Ukraine or any other countries. First of all police in Georgia is very strict about everything and they are everywhere. I am British Citizen originally from Georgia and I find myself 100x times safer in Georgia than in England. You can go and visit the country anytime and never be afraid to walk alone outside at night.
