Transit felt chaotic at first, drivers fast and signs limited. Taxis are inexpensive, but get ready to haggle fares or use apps late at night.
Tbilisi surprised me, food is incredible and cheap. Friendly locals, evening walks in Old Town felt magical, but expect steep hills and cobblestones.
Most small museums close around 6 PM, so plan morning visits. For sulfur baths aim for late afternoon to avoid peak evening crowds and queues.
Avoid restaurants right on Rustaveli and Freedom Square. Walk two blocks over and youll find authentic food and much lower prices.
Grab a Metromoney card at any metro station, load it with trips. Saves time and is much cheaper than paying cash on minibuses.
