For handiness, yes.  Taxis are dirt cheap and very plentiful, but the drivers are an absolute nightmare.  You'd honestly think they've never seen the place before, none of them know where anything is or how to get there, even if pointed out to them on a map and in three different languages.  It's not the place you want to be using any form of transport bar on foot or by metro.

Anywhere around the above would be a decent spot to stay. We stayed on the other side of the river last time and there wasn't much life about it.

not bad at all. The centre of the action is along a pedestrian strip which is full of bars and restaurants. The two bars frequented by thr Irish in large numbers the last time are at either end of the strip.. Look for the sioni cathedral near the river. It is bang in the middle of the strip.

...and re: hickster > ya it's very hilly. A bit like Sarajevo you want to be looking for a gaff close to the river.

Thought you were having a laugh but noticed that earlier. A huge amount of central 3 and 4 star hotels are all fully booked the nights around the match. Strange. Must be something else on too?
could be a case that hotels havent released their rooms/pricing for a year ina dvance yet.


That's probably it.

Looks like there's some serious steep hills there too..
