How to get from Tbilisi Airport to Kazbegi

In order to go from Tbilisi Airport to Kazbegi, you must first get to the airport bus stop after exiting Terminal 1. You will hop on bus N337 which goes to Station Square – a trip of 45 minutes. Once you arrive at Station Square, take bus N385 from the same stop, which goes directly to Didube stop, where you’ll disembark to board the shared shuttle bus. The duration of the trip from Tbilisi Airport to Didube is 1 hour. Instead of a numbered system, the shared shuttles are ‘labelled’ based on their destinations, so look out for “Kazbegi” (“ყაზბეგი”). There is a service every hour and drivers generally allow up to 10 minutes for the vehicle to fill up with passengers before departing; if the vehicle fills up quickly, they may depart sooner, so it’s worth getting there at least 10 minutes early.

The cost of the trip from Tbilisi Airport to Kazbegi is €5.03 (GEL 14.12) per traveller. Each of the local bus services costs €0.36 (GEL 1.02), added to the total cost above.

Taking a shared shuttle from Tbilisi Airport to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) is a good choice for travel on a budget. However, you have to take into account the additional transfers which will add effort and time to your journey. Also, the operating hours are quite limited, so for late-night or early-morning flights, a shuttle bus is probably not the most suitable option.
