Georgia: an ideal host nation
For those familiar with Georgian Students For Liberty, renowned for their large-scale events and courageous actions against illiberalism, the appetite for liberty among Georgia’s youth is unmistakable! LibertyCon 2024 presents the perfect opportunity to explore this beautiful country on the edge of Europe.
Tbilisi, the vibrant capital of Georgia, serves as the ideal setting for LibertyCon Europe 2024. The city offers a rich cultural tapestry, seamlessly weaving ancient history with a modern spirit.
It has a fascinating blend of old and new. Visitors can explore the historic Old Town, with its narrow streets and traditional architecture, enjoy the lively nightlife, or visit the Museum of Soviet Occupation to take a glimpse into the country’s brutal communist past.
Known for its warm hospitality and thriving liberty movement, Tbilisi is eager to welcome enthusiasts with open arms. The country, beyond its capital, has much to offer!
With three international airports – Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and Batumi – Georgia provides easy access for travelers worldwide.
LibertyCon Europe attendees can choose to land directly at Tbilisi Airport, the closest to the event in the capital, or opt for other options. Kutaisi Airport, just a bus trip away from Tbilisi and serviced by cost-effective Wizz Air flights, offers an enticing alternative.
For those seeking a coastal experience, Batumi Airport is the ideal choice. Located on the Black Sea coast, Batumi, Georgia’s second-largest city, boasts impressive modern architecture, a botanical garden, and a boulevard with stunning sea views. It’s perfect for a leisurely visit, particularly during the pleasant springtime.
Moreover, Georgia has many other gems to explore. Stepantsminda, nestled in the Caucasus Mountains, offers breathtaking landscapes, and Mestia, known for its ancient towers and dramatic scenery, is a must-visit.
