Money-Saving Tips

Use ride-hailing apps like Yandex Go or Bolt instead of street taxis to avoid being overcharged.
Buy a Magti SIM card from their official city branches rather than the airport for cheaper data packages.
Try fresh Georgian pastries from local bakeries (Tornes) for cheap, filling, and delicious snacks.
Take the fast train between Tbilisi and Batumi; it is much cheaper and very comfortable compared to flying.
Get a MetroMoney card in Tbilisi to use the metro and cable car for just 1 GEL per ride.
Always negotiate with private drivers when booking tours to Kazbegi or Gudauri; never accept the first price.
