Rustaveli (central, flat)რუსთაველი
Flatter, better for luggage and older travellers; bigger hotels with lifts and a door the car can reach; old town is a 15-minute walk down.

- Georgia ↗Many passports enter visa-free for a long stay; if yours needs a visa, apply only on the official e-visa portal.
- Georgia ↗Do not plan travel to Abkhazia or South Ossetia: crossing their boundary lines from Georgian-controlled land is treated as illegal entry, and many governments advise against it.
- Georgia ↗In Orthodox churches women cover their heads and shoulders and wear a skirt or a wrap; men remove hats and avoid shorts.
- Georgia ↗Carry Georgian lari in small notes for minibuses, markets and the metro card; cards work in most Tbilisi cafés and shops but not everywhere outside the capital.
- Kartli ↗Minibuses (marshrutkas) have little space for large bags: leave the big bag at the Tbilisi hotel and take a day pack.
- Tbilisi ↗Old-town slopes and stairs in Sololaki and Abanotubani stop suitcases: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Tbilisi ↗Buy a Metromoney card at a metro station and load it with lari; the metro, buses and the cable car take the same card.

Lock the area first. Hotel search links appear only after you decide where the pillow is — so no listing can pull you into the wrong area.
