National Geographic Travel unveils annual best of the world list, one of which is Georgia on the third place.

National Geographic Traveler magazine is advising its 9.6 million readers, this week publishing its annual Best of the World list of the 21 must-see destinations to visit in the year ahead.

Tbilisi, Georgia, took third place on the NatGeo list. “Development is reshaping the cityscape of Georgia’s capital city at a dizzying pace,” the magazine said. “Traditional Georgian experiences — the 24-hour sulphur baths, the plump khinkali (spiced meat dumplings), and the legendary hospitality of the locals — persevere in disarmingly disorganized Old Tbilisi.”

The magazine’s editors devised their list based on their opinions of each destination’s urban environment, culture and natural surroundings.
