Trip from Yerevan to Tbilisi

How long does the trip take?

  • 🚐 By car or private transfer – on average 5–6 hours (without long stops).

  • 🚌 By bus or minivan (marshrutka) – around 6–7 hours, since there are passenger stops along the way.

  • 🚆 By train (Yerevan – Tbilisi) – approximately 9–10 hours, but it’s an overnight option, convenient for saving on accommodation.

Travel time depends on traffic and border crossing queues. At the border, you may spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5–2 hours.

How to prepare for the trip:

  1. Documents – passport and visa if required (most CIS and EU travelers do not need a visa).

  2. Currency – it’s good to have both Armenian dram and Georgian lari, though cards are accepted in many places.

  3. Snacks and water – there are roadside cafes, but it’s convenient to bring your own.

  4. Clothing – the route passes through mountainous areas where it may be cooler than in the capitals.

  5. Offline tools – mobile coverage may be unstable, so downloading offline maps is recommended.

👉 For maximum comfort and flexibility, consider booking a private transfer. It’s faster than the train, more convenient than the bus, and allows you to stop at scenic spots along the way.
