Batumi has no metro. City travel is mainly by municipal buses, minibuses, taxis and walking along the Boulevard/Old Town. Buses can be paid with BATUMICARD or contactless bank cards; keep the card handy for airport route No.10 and cross-town trips. Batumi Central railway station is about 4 km from Old Town, so plan a bus or taxi connection. In summer, traffic and seaside streets can slow down; check the route before choosing a hotel far south or north of the centre.
