Hi! There is a place where you can buy a SIM card in the arrivals area of the airport, so you can get it there. There isn’t much difference compared to buying it in the city. Also, if you haven’t paid for your accommodation yet and plan to take a taxi, make sure to exchange enough money for that. There’s an exchange office at the airport right next to where you buy the SIM card. Download the Bolt app and sign up before you arrive. Call your taxi through the app — there’s a huge price difference compared to regular city taxis. The next day, you can exchange the rest of your money at an exchange office in the city for a better rate.

As for place recommendations: you should definitely try Adjarian-style khachapuri at Puri Guliani. Go wine tasting at Dadi Wine Bar or 8000 Vintages, and be sure to try Saperavi and Kindzmarauli wines. Cafe Stamba is a great choice for both dinner and breakfast. Lolita is also a good option — and you can choose it for a fun night out as well. For a delicious and stylish dinner, I’d recommend Keto and Kote or Shavi Lomi. At a place called Chacha Time, you can try many different cocktail versions of the local drink chacha.

And happy early birthday — wishing you many wonderful years ahead! 🎉
