Hitching out
Northwest towards Gori, Kutaisi, Samtredia
One hitchhiking point is not far from the Didube bus station, near the statue of David the Builder on horseback.
However, hitchhiking north might be easier if you take a marshrutka towards Mtskheta and tell the driver to let you out when the S1 national road splits off from the Mtshketa road (see photo).
East towards the airport and Telavi
Take bus or minibus to the 'Lilo' market, from 'Samgori' metro station. From there it's quite easy to hitchhike.
Southeast towards Rustavi, Merneuli, Armenia and Azerbaijan
The hitchhiking point is near the Ortachala bus station. Several kilometers after the end of the city, the road divides, one way going towards Rustavi and Azerbaijan (Baku), the other towards Merneuli and Armenia (Yerevan).
Public transport
Tbilisi has a metro system with two lines. To enter it, you must first buy a smart card from the ticket office (2 lari as of October 2010) and then load value onto it. Swipe the smart card at the turnstiles. From metro stations one can reach further parts of the city by city buses or marshrutkas.
