Georgia’s network of tourist information centres is run under the National Tourism Administration and extends from the Black Sea highlands to the wine valleys of Kakheti. These offices are typically the first stop for visitors arriving in a new town: staff hand out free maps, explain local bus and marshrutka schedules, and point travellers toward nearby sights, guesthouses and trailheads. For anyone moving through the country without a fixed itinerary, they remain one of the few reliably free sources of up-to-date, on-the-ground advice. For broader planning before arrival, see GTour’s guides.
This list was compiled by the GTour desk from the national register of licensed tourist information centres. Entries were selected on three criteria: their location relative to places travellers actually pass through, whether the centre has an established, ongoing presence at its address, and what it practically offers someone arriving in town. No centre has paid for inclusion, and GTour does not claim to rate or rank these offices against one another — the list is descriptive, not comparative.
1. Akhaltsikhe Tourist Information Center
Located at 1, Kharischirashvili Street in Samtskhe-Javakheti, this centre serves a town best known for Rabati Castle and as a staging point for trips to Vardzia. Travellers heading into the southern highlands typically pass through here, and the centre maintains a website for advance contact.

How to use this list
These centres are best treated as waypoints rather than destinations in themselves: visit the one nearest your route to pick up current maps, transport information and local pointers before continuing a journey. Because opening arrangements and staffing can vary by season, travellers planning around a specific centre should check its website in advance where one is listed. For wider regional planning, pair this list with GTour’s guides.
