Uplistsikhe Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The easiest way to visit Uplistsikhe is by taxi from Gori – the return trip including waiting time normally costs 30 GEL. Marshrutkas leave Gori bus station a few times a day for Kvakhvreli (1 GEL, 20 minutes), the village across the Mtkvari River from Uplistsikhe. It’s about a 2km walk from village to site, as you have to go downriver to a bridge then back along the other side. Gori-bound elektrichka trains, currently leaving Tbilisi’s Borjomi station at 7.15am, 4.10pm and 4.55pm, take 1¾ hours to reach Kvakhvreli (2 GEL).
