Georgia

  • https://gr.com.ge/enRailway Georgia. For day trips e. g. Tiflis – Goris it is better to take the minibuses because the trains don’t leave too often.  
  • https://urbanrail.net/as/tbil/tbilisi.htmMetro Tiflis has two metro lines. Rechargeable metrocards can be bought and uploaded at the metro stations. One 90 minutes trip costs 1 Lari = 0,30 Euro and is valid for metro and buslines. Buslinie 337 goes from the airport to Tiflis main train station for 1 Lari.  
  • Bus station Tiflis Didube is next to the correspondent metro station. The Bus station is chaotic. There are minibuses (cheaper) and shared taxis (more expensive and they try to rip off the tourists). Some destinations e. g. eastern of Georgia leave from other bus station. Ortachala Central Bus Station is another important bus station.  
  • https://wander-lush.org/tbilisi-to-kazbegi/Minibus to Kazbegi / Stepantsminda from bus station Didube. The above-mentioned link describes how to find the minibus to Kazbegi (Mtskheta and Gori leave from the same location) because the bus station is very confusing: „Once you get off the metro, walk to the end of the platform and head down the stairs. Make a hard right through the underpass. When you come out the other end, you will find yourself inside a small undercover market. On your left, you’ll see a row of taxis, some of them going to Kazbegi. For the marshrutka vans, you’ll need to keep walking straight. Cross the road, then continue a little further through the market. After a few metres the maze of stalls opens up into a car park. You’ll notice a big white sign posted high up on your right. This is the waiting area for vans to Kazbegi.“
