Tbilisi Central Station

Level 30 Local Expert

There's a second entrance to Tbilisi Central Station - on the right side if you're facing the building (main entrance is slightly left, near the center). This side has both stairs and an escalator, and leads directly to the platform. Almost no passengers here. Also connects to the Flo shoe store and Elit electronics. У здания вокзала «Тбилиси Центральный» есть второй вход - справа, если стоять лицом к фасаду (основной вход левее, ближе к центру). Здесь есть и лестница, и эскалатор, такой же выход к платформе. Почти нет пассажиров. Также отсюда вход в магазин обуви Flo и электроники Elit. Tbilisi Central Station has a second entrance-on the right side, if you are facing the building (main entrance on the left, near the center). There is both a staircase and an escalator, and the same exit to the platform. There are almost no passengers. There is also an entrance to the shoe store Flo and electronics Elit. 1. Location & Access The station is easy to find and well-connected by metro, buses, and taxis. It's located inside a shopping mall, which is convenient but also a bit confusing for first-time visitors. Look for signs or ask locals-they're usually helpful. 2. Train Services Trains run to Batumi, Zugdidi, and other cities. Schedules are posted online and at the station, but delays happen sometimes. The ticket office staff speak basic English and Russian. You can also buy tickets online—recommended during busy seasons. 3. Cleanliness The platformer and waiting areas are okay but not spotless. Bathrooms are usable but could be cleaner. The mall part is much cleaner than the actual train station area. 4. Safety The station feels safe during the day. Security guards are present, and there are cameras. At night, it's quieter, so stay alert and avoid dark corners. 5. Facilities There's a small waiting area with seats, but it gets crowded. No lounge or proper rest zone. You'll find ATMs, a pharmacy, and food options inside the mall—fast food, coffee shops, and even a supermarket. 6. Signage & Navigation Signs are in Georgian and English, but not always clear. The layout is strange because the station is inside a mall. You might need to ask for directions to platforms or ticket counters. 7. Accessibility There are elevators and ramps, but not everywhere. If you have luggage or mobility issues, it can be tricky to move around. Staff may help if asked. 8. Nearby Services The mall has everything-food, clothes, electronics, and even a cinema. Great if you have time before your train. There's also a hotel nearby for overnight stays. 9. Overall Experience Tbilisi Railway Station is functional but not fancy. It gets the job done, especially if you know what to expect. It's not a tourist attraction, but it's a key transport hub for Georgia.

The Tbilisi Railway Station left mixed impressions. By itself, to be honest, he's not much — big, a little confused, and looks tired. It's noisy inside, people with suitcases, the smell of coffee and something frying nearby. It's not that it's unpleasant, it's just that everything seems to have been left in the last decade. But trains are a completely different matter. They are clean, comfortable, the air conditioner is working, the conductors are polite. You drive calmly, without nerves, with a view of the mountains outside the window. There are very nice girls working at the ticket offices — they will explain everything, help you choose places, even if you are confused and do not know where to click in their electronic menu. But it is better to take tickets in advance. Sometimes they buy up everything quickly, especially if it's a popular destination like Batumi or Borjomi. In general, the train station itself is not inspiring, but then the road pays for everything.

The station is not very good, but the trains to Batumi are good, they only run 2 times a day. There is a cafe next to the exit to the platform and there you can get yourself coffee, hot chocolate and sandwiches.

A dubious place. Information for travelers. This is not actually a train station, but a shopping mall. It starts working at 6:00. If you are flying by plane to Tbilisi and you have, for example, a train at 6:30 a.m. in Batumi, then do not rush to take a taxi here. We were not allowed inside. There were people standing nearby who had been waiting at the entrance for 4 hours. Keep this fact in mind

This is probably the worst train station in Georgia! There is no normal square in front of the building that allows you to directly access the building, or at least stairs. The station itself is a shopping mall, which is completely closed at night, and it will only be possible to get to the platform if you bypass the building.

At the entrance, it looks more like a shopping center than a train station. Trade is a priority. Passengers are in second place. The scoreboard is on the second floor, and it's turned towards the exits, not the incoming ones. But the staff is always ready to help and prompt. A big plus is the lack of security checks at the entrance and the entire theater.

The toilet at the train station is paid, payment by card is made at the vending machine. Russian cards don't work, the security guard refused to skip the cash. She refused my offer to give her cash so that she could pay with a card. This is the first time I've encountered this. My opinion of Georgians has dropped a lot.

The main advantage is the metro station in the next building, which is convenient. The station itself is outdated. There is no information board at the entrance, to see it you need to go up to the second floor. At the same time, access to the first platform is carried out from the first floor. As a result, there are unnecessary ascents and descents with things.

Ticket offices and a small waiting room on the 3rd floor. Everything else is a large shopping center with good shops. The square in front of the building is a large market, smoothly turning into a Central market

Peculiar , but interesting. The first floor has counters with gold , the second is a hotel and a couple of boutiques, the third is a cash register and the opportunity to have a snack and relax with pharmacies and a shoe store . Externally, the station is huge, but inside, it did not seem so . Interestingly, the entrance, like at the airport, is two-tiered from the second floor - the beginning of the peron

There are even inexpensive clothing stores in a very good place . I bought jeans shorts and T-shirts from the Turkish mass market wai kiki . I don't know if I wrote it correctly . I bought a ticket from Tbilisi to Batumi on a two-story train , it was cool , there are charging pads under the seats . the Internet was really not very good , but I liked it . you can download pre-order movies on your devices or books 📚 read and watch so that this time passes unnoticed 😇☺️ they don 't serve food on the train , but there is a vending machine where you can buy chips , water and all sorts of things - but the choice is small 🤣

The station is already quite old and requires renovation and, possibly, a change in concept. You need a fresh mind, coming to the capital of Georgia by train, you want to feel her greeting, but there is no such thing at the station, everything is quite gloomy and gray.

It's not a bad train station. Buying tickets is quite convenient, the cashiers speak Russian. There are shops. The main Stadler, Tbilisi - Batumi train usually departs from the first platform.

An immersive excursion into the 90s or even deeper in time :) The station is essentially a collection of stalls. The station buildings themselves are rather shabby. With all this, he thoroughly spoils the overall impression of a trip by a very comfortable train to Batumi. But it solves the problem nevertheless

A tired train station, aka a shopping mall. There is no decent food court, only a dining room of dubious quality. There are few seats, it is cold, gloomy and not comfortable.

A small "provincial" train station, which looks more like a shopping mall inside. The platform is also modest, not cozy

Navigation is zero. You can find the Tbl-Btm train only by following the flow of people. Back stairs are generally nightmares, especially for the elderly with suitcases. There are no problems with taxis at any time.

Just a train station; which probably accepts a maximum of 3 trains) If he is traveling from Yerevan, then you will be in Tbilisi at night,’which means you will be without communication and money (if you did not buy lari in Yerevan), since nothing works here) Taxi drivers can take you for 20 GEL, but Yandex would give 5 So plan everything in advance
