On arrival
- Apps — Rides: Bolt, Maxim, Yandex Go. Maps: Google Maps. Messages: WhatsApp, Viber. Hosts, drivers and restaurants expect WhatsApp; set it up before you arrive, as it needs an SMS code to activate.
- Paying — Bank cards, including contactless, work on Tbilisi's metro and buses and in many restaurants; carry small lari notes, as taxi drivers often claim to have no change.
- UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
- Getting around Tbilisi — Tap a Metromoney card (2 lari at metro ticket offices) or a contactless bank card on the metro, buses and minibuses: 1 lari covers 90 minutes of rides, which paying by app or cash does not.
- Tipping — Many restaurants add a 10–15% service charge without saying so; check the bill first. Tips are usual in Western-style places in Tbilisi, not in traditional ones or bars.
- Emergency — 112 (any emergency).
TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.

Every verdict here is the destination's own: ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. Nothing is said about Georgia as a whole that was not first measured at each place in it.
