  In this paper, we consider the timelike and null geodesics around the static
[GMGHS (Gibbons, Maeda, Garfinkle, Horowitz and Strominger), magnetically
charged GMGHS, electrically charged GMGHS] and the rotating (Kerr-Sen
dilaton-axion) dilaton black holes. The geodesic equations are solved in terms
of Weierstrass elliptic functions. To classify the trajectories around the
black holes, we use the analytical solution and effective potential techniques
and then characterize the different types of the resulting orbits in terms of
the conserved energy and angular momentum. Also, using the obtained results we
study astrophysical applications.
