Choosing a metro station
Avlabari can be considered when your route goes through Rike Park. From the Old Town side, walking down from Freedom Square is the natural approach. Station exits, crossings and one-way streets change, so check the city map for the day.
This guide does not claim a universally closest station. The best station depends on where you are coming from.
Buses and minibuses
Surface transport routes and stop numbers change over time, and many pass through the Old Town on diversions. Use a current Tbilisi transport source rather than an older travel blog when you plan the trip.
Taxis and ride-hailing
Set “Rike Park” or “Europe Square” as the destination and walk the last short stretch to either entrance. Dropping off inside the narrowest Old Town streets is often slower than being dropped at the park.
- Keep the saved bridge map pin in your notes.
- Agree the price or use the app meter before you move.
- Allow buffer time in the evening and during events.
