Rustavi, Industrial metropolis in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia.
Rustavi extends along both banks of the Mtkvari River, featuring Soviet-era residential districts and modern commercial developments across its urban landscape.
The city evolved from a Bronze Age settlement into a metallurgical center in 1948 when the Soviet administration established the first steel plant in the Caucasus.
The Rustavi Historical Museum exhibits artifacts spanning centuries, while the Drama Theatre presents regular performances reflecting Georgian theatrical traditions.
Visitors can reach Rustavi from Tbilisi in 50 minutes by road, with frequent marshrutka vans departing from the capital throughout the day.
The city contains the largest used car market in the Caucasus region and maintains the final racing circuit constructed during the Soviet period in 1978.
