Marshrutka: Marshrutkas run frequently from Tbilisi's Didube market to Gori and Tskhinvali via Gori. Less frequent service is available from Kutaisi.
Taxi: Taxis to the Gori region can be hired on the cheap from Tbilisi's Didube market. For a significantly higher price, taxis will take travelers to other destinations within Shida Kartli.
Russian border: The entire Russian-Georgian border is closed to non-CIS country nationals. Due to regional instability and corruption on both sides of the North Ossetian-South Ossetian border, this border crossing is not recommended even if you possess a passport from a CIS country.
