Today, it struggles to return its popularity with new high-class hotels and renovated infrastructure. So, here are my recommendations on top things to do in Borjomi in 48 hours. 

There are different ways to get to Borjomi – a minibus, train, and a car. If you are looking for the cheapest, yet the fastest option, minibus should be your choice. From Tbilisi to Borjomi you can catch a minibus at 8:00 a.m, 8:40 a.m, and from 10:00 a.m every forty minutes until 7:00 p.m every day. The ticket costs 7-8₾ one way. It takes around two hours to get here. The final minibus from Borjomi to Tbilisi leaves at 5:45 p.m but make sure to be there a couple of minutes early.

The train from Tbilisi to Borjomi leaves at 6:40 a.m and 4:15 p.m every day and costs 2₾. You can purchase tickets at Tbilisi Central Railway Station.
