Akhmeteli Theater metro station. Akhmeteli-Varketili line of the Tbilisi metro
- Description
The Akhmeteli Theater metro station, located on the Akhmeteli-Varketili line of the Tbilisi metro, is a unique combination of cultural heritage and modern urban transport. This station, named after the famous Georgian playwright and theater director Alexander Akhmeteli, was originally named "Gldani" after the area it serves. The name was changed to "Akhmeteli Theater" in 1992, giving the station special historical significance.
The station's architecture combines classical aesthetics and modern elements. Wide columns finished in light marble, combined with gray granite floors, create a spacious and bright space. After reconstruction in 2007 and 2017, the station regained its original appearance, while the lighting system was improved and the original decorative elements were restored.
Today the station operates with one northern exit, while the planned southern exit has not been completed. However, in 2022, plans were announced for its completion, as well as adaptation of the station’s infrastructure for the needs of people with disabilities.
The station's operating hours include daily service from 6:00 to 00:00, with a train interval of about 2 minutes during rush hour and about 10 minutes in the evening.
The fare payment system in the Tbilisi metro is focused on maximum passenger convenience. Plastic MetroMoney cards are used, which can be purchased at any station. These cards, in addition to the metro, are also valid on buses and on cable cars in the city of Tbilisi, but not on the funicular. The cost of one trip is 50 tetri, and the cost of the card itself is 2 lari (refundable deposit), and one card can be used by several people.
Akhmeteli Theater station is not just a transport hub, but also an important part of the city’s history, reflecting the cultural heritage and dynamics of Tbilisi’s development.
Daily from 6:00 to 00:00

მეტროსთან იმდენი ძაღლია, საშიშია იქ გავლა. ყოფილა შემთხვევები, როცა ადამიანებს უკბენიათ.

The metro station is a key part of Tbilisi's public transport, connecting many areas and making daily commutes manageable. Although it used to have issues with crowding and accessibility due to older infrastructure, positive changes are underway. Plans are set to improve access for everyone and reduce congestion. This hub is an essential part of the city, and with future upgrades, it promises to become even more convenient for all commuters.

Рынок и многочисленные коммерческие помещения окружают станцию, затрудняя доступ к метро. При входе в метро пытаются улучшить лестницу, но сама лестница создает проблемы для маломобильных людей. Территория грязная из-за рынка. В остальном, станция метро не отличается от других в тбилисском метрополитене: обычная касса, старые эскалаторы, отсутствие мусорных баков, много рекламы.

Avoid taking the train from 10 to 11:30 in the morning. It's way too crowded to get in.

The metro station is surrounded by a bustling market and many shops, making the entrance difficult to navigate. Renovations are underway to re-tile and enhance the stairs, but the existing stairs still present a challenge for those with limited mobility, forcing them to find a way around all the obstacles to locate an accessible entrance. The area is quite messy, partly due to the nearby market. Otherwise, this station shares the same features as others in Tbilisi's metro system. It has a ticket office at the entrance, standard turnstiles, old escalators, no trash bins, and lots of advertisements.

Последняя станция на этой линии открылась 15 января 1989 года. Архитекторы — С. Болоташвили, Г. Мозманишвили и Г. Размадзе. У станции только один вход. Он расположен в углубленном участке и соединяется с улицами О. Хизанишвили и И. Векуа каменными лестницами в форме амфитеатра. Вестибюль связан с пассажирским залом наклонным эскалаторным тоннелем. Станция построена открытым способом. Колонны и стены облицованы светлым мрамором, а пол платформы выложен гранитом. В пассажирском зале, ближе к выходу из города, есть керамическое панно с рельефными изображениями грузинских храмов, на стенах у железнодорожных путей четыре декоративные двери с грузинским алфавитом. Художник — И. Табидзе. В 2007 году провели обновление станции, частично изменили дизайн вестибюля и эскалаторного тоннеля, а также интерьера.

ეს არის თბილისის მეტროს პირველი ხაზის ბოლო გაჩერება. შემდეგი სადგური სარაჯიშვილია. მდებარეობს გლდანის დასახლებაში. 1989 წლის 7 იანვარს გაიხსნა და მისი ავტორები არიან არქიტექტორები გ. რაზმაძე და ს. ჩოლოყაშვილი. სადგურს მხოლოდ ერთი შესასვლელი აქვს.

This is the last or first stop on the initial metro line. Opened on January 7, 1989, it's part of the Akhmeteli-Varketili Line on the Tbilisi Metro. The station has an island platform with two tracks and is located underground.

The place would benefit from some updates both inside and out.
