A picturesque place, very crowded, there is congestion on the roads, parking is quite difficult to find, there are exchangers with the most acceptable rate, there is a grocery market, as well as a well-known bus station from which you can get to different cities of Georgia, as well as some states neighboring this beautiful country, it is better to get here by metro than by private car.
The bus station is easily accessible by metro, the place is colorful, they sell delicious pastries, there are a lot of minibuses, so choose air-conditioned and comfortable, the price difference is only 5 GEL, the drivers are professionals- they know their business))
Unfortunately, there were no tickets for the Tbilisi-Batumi train on the day of departure and I had to take a minibus.
Last time, my husband drove from the bus station on a small minibus and got there in +-4.5 hours.
Today we boarded the "official" minibus, which is many times worse and older than the one he rode. As a result, we have been driving for 4.5 hours, and we have not even reached KUTAISI yet!!!! It's impossible. The minibus also smells like something burned inside.
We have already written about the chaotic nature and dirt of the station below.
The toilet is a separate topic for conversation. In the women's room there is just a division without doors, 6 "booths", if you can call them that, 3 of which are perfectly visible to those passing by.
I do not know how it is possible to abandon the train station in the capital so much.
The only thing you can put a star for is the women who work at the checkout, they are very friendly and ready to help at any moment.
Well, the place is colorful, and if you ride here by car, you will be sold out, parking here is a very, very impossible task, we visit it mainly because of the exchange rate with the most normal course, well, take vegetables or fruits at the same time, it's better to come here by metro, it's really difficult to spin around here in a car at 34 and above degrees.
This is a very high-calorie place where the market, currency exchangers, touts, taxi drivers and the bus station are intertwined into one. If you need a currency exchange upon arrival, then you will not find a more favorable exchange rate than in Diduba. This is a big greeting from the 90s.
There is no question of cleanliness, staff and repairs at all - this simply does not exist here.
The bus from Moscow to Tbilisi stops here. And from here to Rustavi I took a taxi for 50 GEL. There is also a market selling fresh produce. Recommend 👍
It's hard to call a bus station!)) The "market" is more suitable. Only the locals are free to navigate there. With the apparent chaos, everyone works smoothly and in an organized manner))
A good train station, I went from there by minibus to Batumi, because I was late for the high-speed train) friendly taxi drivers, I learned from them where you can buy a cup of coffee for 1 GEL and visit the toilet for only 30 tetris)))
плюсы: рядом метро, есть обменник с хорошим курсом, можно найти маршрутки в разные части Грузии
минусы: это не вокзал, а куча маршруток без нормальной навигации. табличек на EN мало, чтобы соориентироваться надо опрашивать местных. много попрошаек, грязно. Вообщем сервисом там близко не пахнет)
Minibuses in all directions of Georgia, to Vladikavkaz. It's very dirty. My Georgian husband's compatriots tried to cheat on the market. The metro is nearby.
It is difficult to make a mistake, drivers invite you to the route, loudly inviting passengers. Minibuses look good, clean. Drivers sometimes smoke during the trip, but this does not bother anyone
The place is wonderful because the USSR stayed there (so they joke). Spontaneous trade on the one hand spoils this place, but on the other - it's even colorful. There are inexpensive fruits and vegetables on the market. Minibuses leave from here to many places. There is a good opportunity to fill up the car and go to Batumi, Vladikavkaz and other places in Georgia. In general, the place is necessary and convenient.
The station from which buses /minibuses leave (both official and not quite) to the north and to the west. It is from here that the transport departs to Russia. Also from here you can go to the Black Sea coast of Georgia, to Borjomi, Gori and other settlements to the west of Tbilisi. The station building is small and without any amenities, but we did not use it. In fact, it's just a territory where touts gather, offering to take you where you need to go.
Of course there is no railway station here, just a piece of land where minibuses stand, nothing more, well, in general they are cheap, I went from here to Borjomi
Оживленно очень , много маршрутов и такси оттуда уходят в разные районы города и по Грузии. Есть обменники- их много там, и метро сразу - очень удобно !
The drivers are attentive, professional. The station itself is in great need of reconstruction. The natural market around is colorful, but has a touch of the 90s. Although, of course, it is the right of local residents to arrange everything as they like.
Автовокзалом это назвать сложно, просто точка для парковки автотранспорта занимающихся перевозкой людей. Стоят и микроавтобусы и частные машины. Одно преимущество можно уехать в любом направлении. Расписаний нет, отправка как договоритесь или пока полностью не забьют автобус. Если вам скажут что сейчас поедем, знайте что пока полностью не забьют места не поедет.
I really love Tbilisi and its residents, but Didube is stuck in the Soviet Union , nothing is comfortable. I arrived late in the evening by taxi , it was scary to walk to the subway , the underpass is scary , there is no lighting , alive in the 21st century , please make people comfortable . But the people are very very nice and friendly
Ужас, таксисты содрали в 6 раз больше ,чем я доехала обратно через Яндекс. Сначала ругались из за дележки с кем я поеду на грузинском с русским матом, потом подрались( не подумайте не из за меня как из-за женщины )))))))а из за денег) Я в 3 часа ночи одна в чужой стране чуть в штаны....... Поэтому будьте внимательны вызывайте через интернет. И сам вокзал очень грязныц
Уехать можно куда угодно по самой Грузии и по международным направлениям. Информация только от водителей, таблички на англ. и расписание отсутствуют. Туалеты платные. Много обменников. Местным большое спасибо, они не дадут потеряться.
Старенький, грязный, суетный. Но отсюда без проблем можно уехать во Владикавказ - таксистов тут целая толпа. И курс обмена здесь самый выгодный - дальше в городе везде курс похуже.
Beware of private taxi drivers, their impudence is different 1000000%. Be prepared that they will not welcome you here if you refuse them at least once. Rudeness and deception - flourishes
