Transportation in Tbilisi

# Getting Around Tbilisi Tbilisi offers several practical transport options for visitors. The city's public transport network includes an efficient metro system, buses, and minibuses (marshrutkas), all of which use a unified payment card system called the MetroMoney card. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available throughout the city. For those who prefer flexibility, the compact historic center is walkable, though the hilly terrain can be challenging in some areas. First-time visitors should know that the metro is the fastest way to navigate the city, with two main lines connecting key districts. The MetroMoney card can be purchased at metro stations and works across all public transport modes. While many taxi drivers may not speak English, ride-hailing apps provide an easier alternative with upfront pricing. Street signs often appear in both Georgian script and Latin alphabet in tourist areas. **Airport Transfer Tip:** From Tbilisi International Airport to the city center, you have several options. Bus 37 provides an economy connection to the city, while taxis and ride-hailing services offer door-to-door comfort. For current schedules and pricing on all airport transfer options, check the booking widgets on this site.
