Unique experience. Nothing like catching a bus with the locals to get a good first impression. Once you reach the city centre you need to walk a bit to get to the hostel so you can do some sight seeing on the way too! |

- The bus route is: Airport highway, Avlabari Metro station, Freedom Square, Rustaveli ave. and final destination Tbilisi Central Railway Station
- Get off the bus at the Avlabari Metro Station
- You have the option of either walking (10 min) to the hostel or catching a taxi (around 3 GEL and 2 minutes ride).
- If walking then here's the detailed instruction:
- Walk down Ghvinis St (ie 'Wine' St), cross the Mtkvari river by crossing the Metekhi bridge and continue till you reach 'Meidani' (Official name is Gorgasali Meidani'), which is the fortress side of the bridge.
- In the square you will see a wine shop ('Chateau Mukhrani') behind it is the street called Samgebro, turn into this street, noting the Armenian St George Cathedral on your right hand side.
- Walk past the cathedaral and then turn right into the next street which is Saadi St. This is a steep street leading up to the Narikala fortress.
