Getting to Moscow from the airport:
There are three international airports in Moscow:
Sheremet'yevo,
Domodedovo, and
Vnukovo.
All three are connected to Moscow through a high-speed
railway, called
Aeroexpress, with moderately priced tickets (320 rubles, approx. $11).
It is possible to buy a round trip Aeroexpress ticket, which is a little bit cheaper (590 rubles for 2 trips).
Taxi to Moscow would cost $100-$150, and during the day it can be very slow due to traffic jams.
The Aeroexpress timetables are available from their official site:
[ Sheremetyevo |
Domodedovo |
Vnukovo ].
The point of arrival is a rail terminal, which is connected to a subway station:
Byelorusskaya for Sheremet'yevo,
Paveletskaya for Domodedovo, and
Kievskaya for Vnukovo.
The map of Moscow Metro (subway)
is found in Wikipedia.
