Before you go
Use a taxi appBolt and Yandex both work in Tbilisi. If you hail a taxi in the street, agree the fare before the ride starts.
Carry some cashCards work almost everywhere, but small lari notes help at flea markets such as Dry Bridge.
Ride the metroThe metro runs from 6 AM to midnight and public transport from 7 AM to 11 PM.
Start Mtskheta earlyIt is about 20 min by road from Tbilisi, so an early start leaves time for both churches and lunch.
Carry your insuranceTourists must show health and accident cover of at least 30,000 GEL at the border.
