Where Is the Tbilisi Tourist Information Center?
The city-centre information office is situated inside Alexander Pushkin Park, immediately beside Freedom Square, also commonly called Liberty Square.
Look for the small tourist information building inside the park. It is close to the golden fountain and directly across the road from Tbilisi City Hall.
Its central location makes it easy to visit before exploring Old Tbilisi, Rustaveli Avenue or the historic Sololaki district.
How to Get There
By Metro
Take the Akhmeteli–Varketili Line, also known as the Red Line, and get off at Liberty Square Metro Station.
After leaving the station, follow the signs towards Freedom Square and Pushkin Park. The tourist information center is only a short walk from the metro exit.
Read our complete guide to public transport in Tbilisi for current fares, payment methods and information about the metro, buses, minibuses and cable cars.
By Bus
Several municipal bus routes serve Freedom Square and the surrounding streets. Routes can be affected by roadworks, public events or temporary traffic restrictions, so check the live route shortly before travelling.
The official Tbilisi Transport Company journey planner or Google Maps can help you find the most convenient connection from your location.
By Taxi
Enter “Tbilisi Tourist Information Center,” “Pushkin Park” or “Freedom Square” as your destination in a ride-hailing application.
Because Freedom Square is a busy traffic junction, the driver may stop on a nearby street rather than directly beside the park. Read our guide to online taxi apps in Georgia before ordering a car.
On Foot
The center is within walking distance of many central neighbourhoods and attractions. It can easily be reached from Old Tbilisi, Rustaveli Avenue, Sololaki, Orbeliani Square and the Bridge of Peace.
What Can You Find at the Tourist Information Center?
The center is operated as part of Georgia’s official tourism information network. Available services and printed materials may vary, but visitors can generally expect help with:
- Free city maps and regional maps
- Tourist brochures and information booklets
- Information about attractions and museums
- Suggestions for destinations outside Tbilisi
- General public transport information
- Cultural events and seasonal activities
- National parks, hiking areas and natural attractions
- Travel routes between Georgian cities and regions
- Basic orientation and practical travel advice
Staff members can also help explain how to reach a destination, which area to visit and where to find official information about opening hours, tickets or transport.
English is commonly spoken, although the availability of other languages may depend on the staff working at the time of your visit.
Are the Maps and Brochures Free?
Yes. Maps, brochures and general tourist information materials are normally provided free of charge.
A printed map can be particularly helpful when walking through Old Tbilisi, where narrow streets, courtyards and pedestrian passages are sometimes difficult to understand from a mobile map alone.
However, maps and brochures may not always show recent road closures, temporary transport changes or updated entrance fees. For time-sensitive information, check the attraction’s official website or ask the staff directly.
What the Information Center Cannot Do
The Tourist Information Center is intended for general travel assistance. It should not be treated as a replacement for:
- Emergency services
- An embassy or consulate
- Immigration and border authorities
- Airline or railway customer service
- Travel insurance assistance
- Official visa or residency advice
For police, ambulance or fire emergencies in Georgia, call 112.
For train schedules and ticket-related questions, consult the official railway website and our guide to Tbilisi Central Railway Station.
Tbilisi Airport Tourist Information Center
Travellers arriving by air can also use the tourist information center inside Tbilisi International Airport.
It is located in the Arrivals Hall and operates 24 hours a day, making it useful for passengers whose flights arrive late at night or early in the morning.
Airport Information Center Details
- Location: Arrivals Hall, Tbilisi International Airport
- Working hours: 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- Telephone: +995 32 2 31 00 07
- Email: ticairport@gmail.com
The airport center can provide basic information about Tbilisi, destinations in Georgia, transport options and tourist services.
Do not confuse the tourism information center with the airport’s general information desks. The airport information desks primarily assist with flights, terminal facilities and airport services, while the tourism desk focuses on travel within Tbilisi and Georgia.
If you need mobile internet after arriving, read our guide to Georgian SIM and eSIM cards.
Start Exploring Tbilisi from Pushkin Park
Pushkin Park is not only home to the Tourist Information Center—it is also an ideal starting point for discovering the city.
A map can show you where Tbilisi’s landmarks are, but exploring with a local guide helps you understand the stories, culture and everyday life behind them.
Pushkin Park is also the meeting point for two experiences offered by Tbilisi Free Walking Tours.
The Old Tbilisi Free Tour introduces visitors to the historic centre, traditional courtyards, the Clock Tower, the Bridge of Peace, Rike Park and the Sulfur Baths district.
Travellers interested in historic architecture, hidden courtyards and less obvious parts of the city can join the Hidden Tbilisi Tour, which starts from the same meeting area. Check each tour page for the current schedule and advance-booking requirements.
What to See Near the Information Center
Because the center is located in the heart of Tbilisi, several attractions can be reached on foot.
Freedom Square
The square is directly beside Pushkin Park. It is one of the city’s most important landmarks and connects Old Tbilisi, Rustaveli Avenue and Sololaki.
Old Tbilisi
Walk down Kote Abkhazi Street to reach historic churches, traditional houses, cafés, restaurants and pedestrian streets.
Bridge of Peace and Rike Park
The Bridge of Peace and Rike Park are approximately 15–20 minutes away on foot.
Rike–Narikala Cable Car
From Rike Park, the Tbilisi Cable Car travels up to Narikala Fortress. The upper station is also close to the Mother of Georgia monument.
Sulfur Baths
Continue through Old Tbilisi to reach Abanotubani, the historic district famous for its naturally hot sulfur baths.
Dry Bridge Flea Market
The Dry Bridge Flea Market is approximately a 15–20-minute walk from Freedom Square through the Orbeliani district.
Is the Tbilisi Tourist Information Center Worth Visiting?
The center is particularly useful for:
- First-time visitors to Tbilisi
- Travelers without mobile internet
- Visitors planning trips to other regions of Georgia
- People looking for printed maps and brochures
- Travelers who prefer speaking to someone in person
- Visitors who need help understanding local transport or destinations
If you already have a complete itinerary and reliable mobile internet, a special visit may not be necessary. However, because the office is located beside Freedom Square, it is easy to include during a walk through central Tbilisi.
Local Tip
Visit the center at the beginning of your stay and collect only the maps or brochures relevant to your plans. Then explore the area on foot—Freedom Square, Sololaki and Old Tbilisi are all immediately accessible from Pushkin Park.
For the most useful local introduction, combine your visit with a walking tour and ask your guide for current recommendations based on your interests, available time and travel style.
