🇷🇺 Russia for 🇬🇱 GL citizens

Don't rely on foreign Visa/Mastercard/AmEx for everyday payments; plan to use cash and/or local payment options (many travelers bring enough cash for the trip and exchange locally as needed).

In Moscow, grab a Troika card at any Metro ticket office: it works across the Metro and most ground transport, and you can top it up at stations or ticket machines.

For taxis, use the Yandex Go app (upfront pricing and the option to pay cash) instead of hailing random cars on the street.
