Local tips
- Use ride-hailing apps like Bolt for transparent pricing and to avoid common taxi scams at the airport and city center.
- When eating khinkali dumplings, hold them by the doughy top knot and eat with your hands to avoid spilling the broth, as using a fork is considered a local faux pas.
- Purchase a Metromoney card or use a contactless bank card to navigate the efficient metro and bus systems, especially to bypass heavy evening traffic.
- Carry a small amount of cash in Georgian Lari for local markets and small bakeries, though credit cards are widely accepted in most urban restaurants and shops.
