Tbilisi, Georgia
The area around Fabrika hostel - good for meeting other travelers. Dezerter Bazaar has cheap local food. Mix of traditional Georgian places and newer wine bars. Metro accessible. Some streets quieter at night away from the main areas.
Marjanishvili has changed a lot since Fabrika hostel opened in 2016. What was a local area is now mixed - traditional khinkali spots alongside wine bars, the old Dezerter Bazaar market near newer cafes. Aghmashenebeli Avenue has restored buildings and pedestrian areas. Metro station makes it accessible. The area around Fabrika stays busy at night with backpackers and locals. More of a scene than the quieter residential neighborhoods, but still feels less polished than Old Town.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Developing area across the river with the big cathedral and views over Old Town. Metro connected. Fewer restaurants and bars than established areas. Quieter, more local feel - good if you want to be off the main tourist track but still accessible.
Central area along Rustaveli Avenue with museums, Opera House, and the funicular to the park. Walking distance to most areas. The main avenue is busy and safe; side streets going up the hill are quieter. Steep terrain.
The main tourist area with the sulfur baths, fortress, and most of the wine bars. Crowded during the day, active at night. Some tourist-trap bars near Shardeni Street - check prices before ordering. Good central base if you want to be near everything.
