Avant de partir
Depuis l'aéroport
The most convenient option is a Bolt taxi, which costs 25-35 GEL to the city center and takes 20-30 minutes. The airport bus (route 337) costs 1 GEL with a Metromoney card and takes about 45 minutes to the final stop at Metro Station 'Square of the Republic.'
Se déplacer
The city center (Old Town, Rustaveli, Sololaki) is very walkable, though be prepared for steep, cobbled streets. Distances between major sights are often 15-30 minutes on foot.
Conseils sur place
- For the best khinkali, skip the touristy Old Town spots and head to a local chain like Zakhar Zakharich or Pasanauri for the juiciest, most flavorful dumplings.
- When visiting the sulfur baths, book a private room (like at Royal Bath or Gulo's) for a more authentic and hygienic experience than the public pools.
- Use the Tbilisi Metro. It's incredibly cheap (1 GEL per ride with a rechargeable Metromoney card), efficient, and the stations are stunning Soviet-era architectural feats.
