Getting to Azerbaijan and Armenia via Georgia by train

The most popular option is getting to Baku from Tbilisi by overnight train. Although train coaches are relatively old Soviet-model types, they are very well modernized, clean and air-conditioned. Each train consist of three different travel classes. First is “SV” (from Russian “spulny vagon” – sleeping wagon) or “Compartment for 2”; another class is “Coupe” or “Compartment for 4” and finally what is called “Platskart” or “Open carriage”.
