Getting around Batumi is fairly straightforward. Stops are plentiful, especially in the center, and you can travel around the city and its outskirts by bus, shared minibus, or taxi. <\/p>\n

Public transport also reaches popular sights and nearby destinations, including the Botanical Garden, Gonio Fortress, and the beaches at Kvariati and Sarpi. This guide covers how each option works, what it costs, and when it runs so you can plan your trips.<\/p>\n

In brief.<\/strong> A ride on a municipal bus or shared minibus in Batumi costs 0.70 GEL. The Batumi City Council approved this fare for buses and shared minibuses on January 30, 2026 (city hall announcement<\/a>, checked on October 6, 2026). The decision sets no separate fare for the Batumi Card; check the card's terms with the operator. According to the payment operator, you can pay on the bus by tapping a contactless bank card at the validator. Check your bank statement to see how much was charged to a foreign card. For shared minibus payments, see the section on paying for shared minibuses<\/a>.<\/p>\n
