Getting to Mtsheta is easy. One just has to use subway or marshrutka (minibus – taxi with assigned route) to reach this sprawling market north of the center of Tbilisi. From there another marshrutka takes you for 30 minutes and less than a dollar to the old capital. Do not forget to tell the driver that you want to stop in the center of town - it is not very obvious. The double pleasure of this destination is that on the way back one can stop at the market and concentrate on some serious shopping. The CDs with Georgian and other worldly music cost 2 dollars each! The copyright dictatorship has not arrived yet!

From the Didube bus station in T'bilisi there are frequent buses to Mts'ket'a.
The busses in Mts'khet'a leave at the maine road opposite the small shop.
Just shake your hand to stop the bus.
The busses have the pictures of the monastary in front.
You can by the tickets at the counter near the bus.

You could arrive there by taxi, you could bargain with the driver and you must pay no more than 20 USD for a trip there including a waiting of 2-3 hrs. for visiting.
This old city is located around 45 kms away from T'bilisi,then taxi is the best option and it is not expensive.
