Why go

Navtlugi Bazaar sits by Samgori station in eastern Tbilisi. Farmers and traders bring produce, herbs, cheeses and other everyday foods here, offering a different market experience from Dry Bridge's art and second-hand objects.

Make this a separate trip from the historic centre. Browse the food stalls at your own pace and look for the herb sellers nearby; the assortment depends on the season and who is trading that day. This is a working market for local shoppers, so leave room for ordinary market bustle.
