How to get to and from the City and Airport
The Sheremetevo 2 International Airport is 20 miles, or 32 kilometres, north west of downtown Moscow. Many of the hotels provide transport by private car. Taxis are freely available and there are regular bus services to and from the Airport.
Getting around in Moscow
One of the best ways of exploring the City is by walking. The city centre is compact and generally safe, although it pays to be careful when walking alone, particularly at night. The underground Metro is also a really efficient way of moving around. The Moscow Metro is regarded as one of the best in the World and is really quite well, and luxuriously, decked out. There are plenty of taxis around, however not all are authorised taxis. It pays to obtain a quote before accepting a ride.
