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.
A place from where you can go anywhere in Georgia and Russia. We had to go to Gudauri and then to Vladikavkaz. Everything was successful, Valiko solved everything. +995599439792, I recommend him, on this whatsapp number. Prices should be asked immediately, reasonable.
I came here to take a bus to Mtskheta. The maps generally do not correctly show the departure point of the buses. I've been goofing off where I need to go for a very long time. It's better to ask the locals.
You have to go straight from the subway and when you reach the road, cross over and you need to turn behind the kiosks, there is a ticket office and buses, they run often, it costs a penny to travel
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.
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 👍
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.
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)))
pros: near the metro, there is an exchanger with a good exchange rate, you can find minibuses to different parts of Georgia
cons: this is not a train station, but a bunch of minibuses without normal navigation. There are few signs on the map, in order to orient yourself, you need to interview the locals. a lot of beggars, dirty. In general, the service does not smell close there)
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.
It is very busy, there are many routes and taxis from there go to different parts of the city and across Georgia. There are exchangers - there are a lot of them there, and the subway is very convenient at once!
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.
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.
It is difficult to call it a bus station, just a point for parking vehicles engaged in transporting people. There are minibuses and private cars. One advantage is that you can leave in any direction. There are no schedules, sending as agreed or until the bus is completely clogged. If they tell you that we are going now, know that until the seats are completely filled, they will not go.
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
Horror, taxi drivers charged 6 times more than I drove back through Yandex. At first they swore because of the division with whom I would go in Georgian with a Russian obscenity, then they fought (don't think not because of me as because of a woman)))))))and because of the money) I'm alone at 3 a.m. in a foreign country a little in my pants.......So be careful to call via the Internet. And the station itself is very dirty
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
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
You can go anywhere in Georgia itself and in international destinations. Information is only from drivers, there are no signs in English and no timetable. Toilets are paid. There are many exchangers. Thanks a lot to the locals, they won't let you get lost.
Old, dirty, fussy. But from here you can easily go to Vladikavkaz - there are a whole crowd of taxi drivers here. And the exchange rate is the most profitable here - the exchange rate is worse everywhere else in the city.
The place is certainly crazy, with its own temper, but the people here are kind, they will definitely help with transport and you will definitely go where you need to.
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
