Budget & Tips

In Tbilisi's souvenir stores, the price level is quite high compared with the local standard of living. You can pay for your purchases by credit card. When traveling, local people sometimes set up small roadside stalls to sell their produce. Food, bread, local specialties and handicrafts such as ceramics are on offer at unbeatable prices. Always bring small change to pay for your purchases.

What's very local

Georgia is rich in handicrafts: pack a large suitcase to ensure you have enough room to bring back your souvenirs. Fabrics, traditional costumes, scarves, spices, wines, chachas, gastronomic products, carpets, jewelry, enamels, paintings, children's toys, leather goods, tablecloths, objects by local designers: you'll be spoilt for choice.

It's customary to haggle in markets and stalls, but not in stores where prices are fixed. For example, you can haggle in this way at the Tbilisi flea market.
