Okay, so I wanted to figure out which city is about an hour away from Georgia, the country, not the state! I’ve got to say, it’s a bit confusing at first with the two Georgias, you know?
My Little Adventure Starts
First thing I did, I grabbed my phone and opened up that trusty map app. You know the one, everyone uses it. Typed in “Georgia” and, of course, it defaulted to the US state. Sigh.
So, I had to be more specific. I typed in “Georgia country” and boom, there it was, nestled between Russia and Turkey. Looked pretty small on the map, honestly.

Zooming In and Checking Around
I zoomed in a bit, started poking around the borders. I saw a bunch of names I couldn’t even pronounce. There was Russia to the north, and it looked pretty close.
I figured, okay, let’s see what’s near the Russian border. I started tapping on cities near the edge and checking the travel time. Most were either way too close (like, minutes away) or too far (several hours).
Finding Possible Options
- I saw Vladikavkaz in Russia. Checked the drive time… Bingo! It showed up as roughly an hour, maybe a bit more depending on traffic and the border crossing, I guess.
Wrapping it Up
So, after a bit of digital digging, it looks like Vladikavkaz is a strong contender for a city about an hour away from Georgia (the country!). Of course, real-world travel might be different. But for a quick check, that’s what I found!
It’s always something fun to solve this puzzle with online tools!
