Common questions about თბილისი

How far is Tbilisi from the airport?

About 20 km — a 30-minute drive. Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign.

Do I need a car inside Tbilisi?

The old town is walkable, but districts are far apart and the streets are steep. A car with a driver saves you the heat and the taxi haggling.

Are there halal restaurants in Tbilisi?

Yes, more than anywhere else in Georgia. We visited them ourselves and verified halal slaughter.
