Looks a good tour option. Highly recommended on TripAdvisor. Will probably try to get on it on the Friday. |

Anyone here on the Poznan flight to Kutaisi on Wednesday evening by any chance?. Debating whether to stay the night or head straight to Tbilisi.

Is that not a bit far out from city centre? It's nearly an hours walk from Freedom Square to the stadium

The metro runs from there to Freedom Square and costs 0.5 Lari per trip. That is the sum total of €0.15. It takes less than 10 minutes. I stayed in that part of town last time around and it was fine. Admittedly, the place we are staying this time is across the road from MacLarens, but still, it is incredibly cheap to get around.

What’s the closest stops to the stadium and McLarens/Hanger Bar? Got a taxi out the last time with an absolute mad man. Was hard enough getting one back in then after the match tho

Station Square metro station is around the corner from the stadium, less than 5 minutes walk. Liberty Square metro station is on Liberty Square, about a ten minute walk from both MacLaren's and the Hangar. A taxi is no doubt quicker (only about 10m from the Hangar to the stadium) but the metro is cheap as chips. If there are a few of you, it's probably handier to get a taxi but you have to remember that the tax drivers are, to a man (and they are all men), f**king mental.

Hi guys is there anyone staying in Kutaisi after the late flight from Luton on Thursday 10th October? I've just been having a quick Google search regarding the trains but there only seems to be one daily train from Kutaisi to Tbilisi unless i have been looking at the wrong websites? Anyway there will be 9 of us staying the night in Kutaisi again on the Thursday night and I've started to look at a private transfer to Tbilisi with Georgian bus and it's working out around 180 usd for a 12 seater Mercedes sprinter bus or if anyone else has any recommendations regarding getting to Tbilisi on the Friday morning that would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at Rioni to Tbilisi: Rioni is the
mainline station just outside Tbilisi. You'll need to book a taxi to
take you there & probably show them exactly where it is on google
maps but there are a lot more trains from there. It is weirdly down a
sort of dirt track (which is nuts, frankly, given that it connects two
reasonably large cities) but it has more trains than Kutaisi main
station.
There is a train at 01:34 in the
morning but I seriously doubt if you'd be able to catch that from the
train. I'm on the same flight and planning to get the bus down once we
land. Before they changed the flight times, I had planned on getting
that train and just getting a taxi from the airport to Rioni station but
it is about a 25m drive and there is no way we'd be in a taxi outside
the airport at 01:10. There is an organised
public bus run by Georgian Bus that leaves the airport at 01:30 for
Tbilisi and if the flight is late, it will wait. It takes about 4 hours
and is 20 GEL per person (about €6), which is a lot cheaper than the
price you've been quoted. You might well be better cancelling the
Kutaisi accommodation and heading straight down to Tbilisi on that bus.
Don't forget they are 3 hours ahead of us, so it's effectively a 22:30
bus arriving about 02:30 Irish time. It also arrives at Liberty Square,
likely close to where you are staying. If
you do want to get the train, there is also a train at 11:01 you could
get from Rioni to Tbilisi, arriving 14:20. That is a lot quicker than
the 12:25 train from Kutaisi which doesn't arrive in Tbilisi until
17:25. Now, of course that means an early start (a taxi at about 10:30,
which is 07:30 Irish time) but if you want to get to Tbilisi earlier,
that is maybe a better plan than the plan you have. Edited by SuperDave84 - 21 Sep 2019 at 7:30pm |

Ok perfect that's great advice cheers. The thinking behind staying in Kutaisi on the Thursday night was at least we will get a somewhat proper sleep that night even if it's only a couple of hours rather than travelling through the night and sleeping most of the morning / afternoon whenever we get into Tbilisi. I'm going to recommend to the lads about maybe trying to get that bus from Kutaisi airport.

I get that and in some ways it makes sense. The other thing is this: if you stay in Kutaisi, it'll be after 2am before you get to your hotel anyway; the flight lands about 1am and by the time you get out of the airport and in a taxi and get to Kutaisi, it will likely be 2am. The airport is about 25 minutes away from Kutaisi by taxi. You might get a decent night's sleep there, yeah, but even if you get the 11am train, you'll still not be in Tbilisi until after 2pm. And that still necessitates getting up about 10am, which is 7am Irish time. It's an early start on the second day, otherwise it is late before you get to Tbilisi. However, if you get the bus at 1:30am and arrive in Tbilisi at 5:30am, you'll be in your hotel about 6am (3am Irish time remember) which is the same as a late night at home. If you're up and about at 1pm, you'll still have had a decent enough night's sleep, especially because you can always get a bit of sleep on the bus down (allegedly they don't allow booze and I'm not sure how easy it will be to find cans in the airport at that hour anyway). I can see the point in staying in Kutaisi all the same. We did it last time when we flew back to Milan from there; we headed up the night before rather than getting a 9am bus from Tbilisi. We're flying back the same way this time but getting the 9am bus this time.
