Where Can You Buy Postcards in Tbilisi?
Georgian Post
Georgian Post has its own range of postcards. Its online shop currently lists 31 postcard designs, with many standard cards priced at 1.50 GEL. Designs include Georgian landscapes, Tbilisi scenes, Batumi, Sighnaghi, Georgian food and other local themes.
The selection available inside an individual branch may be smaller than the online catalogue, so it is better not to depend on a specific design being in stock.
Museum and Souvenir Shops
For a wider choice of modern or artistic postcards, try museum shops and independent souvenir stores in central Tbilisi.
Good options include:
Museum Shop at the Georgian Museum of Fine Arts
Address: 7 Shota Rustaveli Avenue
This is one of the most convenient places in central Tbilisi to look for typical city postcards, art reproductions and locally designed paper goods. A recently updated Tbilisi shopping guide specifically recommends it for traditional Tbilisi postcards.
Georgian National Museum Shop
Address: 11 Shota Rustaveli Avenue
The museum shop sells gifts inspired by Georgian history and museum collections, including prints, books, magnets and postcards.
Postcards can also be found in souvenir shops around Freedom Square, Rustaveli Avenue, Erekle II Street, Shardeni, Meidan and Abanotubani. Stock and designs vary from shop to shop.
Vintage Postcards at Dry Bridge Market
Dry Bridge Flea Market is a good place to search for original Georgian and Soviet-era postcards, old photographs, stamps, envelopes, maps and other paper collectibles.
These items are usually intended as souvenirs or collectables. An old postcard may already have writing, a postal cancellation or historical stamps, and may not be suitable for sending as ordinary mail. Vendor selection also changes according to the day and weather.
Where Can You Buy Stamps?
For postage that will actually be used to send a postcard or letter, the safest option is a full-service Georgian Post branch.
Tell the employee which country the item is being sent to. The required postage depends on the destination, weight and selected postal service. The employee can provide the correct stamp value or combination of stamps.
Georgian Post also maintains a large online catalogue of postage and collectable stamps. The current catalogue contains hundreds of products, including new 2026 commemorative issues. However, not every design will necessarily be available at every branch.
Important: A vintage, decorative or collectable stamp bought at a flea market or souvenir shop is not automatically valid for current postage. Always confirm the required postage at Georgian Post before mailing the card.
How Much Does It Cost to Send a Postcard from Georgia?
International postage prices depend on the destination, weight and service type. For this reason, publishing one permanent worldwide postcard price can quickly become inaccurate.
Georgian Post provides an international postal calculator for written correspondence sent from Georgia to another country. Select the destination country and enter the weight to see the available services and current price.
For the most reliable information:
- Check the official postal calculator on the day you plan to send the item.
- Take the postcard or letter to a full-service branch.
- Tell the employee the destination country.
- Ask whether the quoted price is for ordinary or registered mail.
- Keep the receipt and tracking number when using a trackable service.
The price printed on a commemorative stamp is its denomination or product price and should not be assumed to represent the complete international postage cost for every destination.
How to Send a Postcard from Tbilisi
1. Buy a Postcard
Choose a card from Georgian Post, a museum shop, a souvenir store or an independent design shop. Vintage cards can be found at Dry Bridge Market.
2. Write the Address Clearly
Use Latin characters whenever possible and include:
- Recipient’s full name
- Street name and building number
- Apartment or unit number, when applicable
- Postal code
- City
- Destination country written clearly in capital letters
Example:
Anna Müller
Hauptstrasse 25, Apt. 4
10115 Berlin
GERMANY
Add your own return address in a smaller format on the back or in the upper-left section, leaving enough space for the recipient’s address and postage.
Georgian Post states that complete and correctly written sender and recipient information is necessary for the uninterrupted movement of a postal item.
3. Visit a Full-Service Branch
Take the completed postcard to one of the 15 regular service centres. The employee can check the destination, calculate the correct postage and apply or sell the necessary stamps.
Handing the postcard to a branch employee is safer than relying on old information about street postboxes, especially when you are unfamiliar with local collection schedules.
4. Choose the Service
An ordinary postcard is generally the simplest option. When the item is valuable, important or time-sensitive, ask whether a registered or trackable written-correspondence service is available for the destination.
Delivery time depends on the country, transport route, customs or security procedures and the service selected. A precise arrival date should not be assumed for ordinary international mail.
5. Keep the Receipt
Keep any receipt or tracking code until the item has been delivered. Georgian Post provides online shipment tracking for services that include a tracking number.
Using the Georgian Post Online Queue
Georgian Post’s online queue page currently includes all 15 full-service branches in Tbilisi. It shows the number of people waiting and allows users to request a queue ticket before visiting.
This can be particularly useful at central or busy branches, although visitors should still allow enough time before closing.
Sending a Parcel from Tbilisi
Sending an international parcel requires more preparation than sending a postcard. Prices and conditions depend on:
- Destination country
- Parcel weight and dimensions
- Type and value of the contents
- Chosen transport or delivery service
- Destination-specific import restrictions
- Customs declaration requirements
Before visiting, check the destination country in Georgian Post’s international calculator and sending-conditions section. For parcels, use a full-service branch unless you specifically need one of the contractor offices that handles ground parcels.
Bring the recipient’s complete address and contact information. For valuable or urgent items, ask about tracking, insurance and faster delivery options before paying.
Practical Tips for Visitors
- The 0108 branch on Lesia Ukrainka Street is usually the most convenient option when staying near Freedom Square or Rustaveli Avenue.
- Use the online queue system before travelling to a branch.
- Do not arrive immediately before closing, especially when sending a parcel or completing customs paperwork.
- Check holiday opening hours separately.
- Carry the recipient’s address saved on your phone as well as written on the item.
- Buy the postcard wherever you find the best design, but confirm the postage at Georgian Post.
- Do not use a vintage or decorative stamp as postage unless Georgian Post confirms that it is valid.
- For important documents, ask for a registered or trackable service.
- Keep the postal receipt until delivery.
