Getting There & Around
Tbilisi Metro has 2 lines but limited accessibility. Buses and minibuses cover the city. Bolt (ride-hailing) is the most practical option. The cable car from Rike Park to Narikala is accessible. Walking is great in the Old Town but hilly. Marshrutkas (minibuses) connect to other Georgian cities.
