    Money exchange and ATMs

    Exchange offices

    Look for the "Valuta" signs in city centres. Rates are usually better than at banks and much better than at the airport. Compare buy and sell on the board; a small gap means a fair rate.

    ATMs

    Bank of Georgia and TBC Bank ATMs are everywhere. When the screen asks, choose to be charged in lari, not in your home currency.
