Our cat will wait for you at the taxi parking at Europe square. Waiting time 15 mins. For a private tour, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Tbilisi
Rustavi (Pass by)
Rustavi is a post-Soviet upcoming city of 100,000 people. With a new town square and a theatre in the process of being renovated, things are happening in this former industrial town. Only 25 minutes from Tbilisi, packed full of Soviet architecture, surrounded by abandoned factories, derelict Soviet-era parks, and dusty hills, it's something different.
