✈️ From the airport
Moscow airports to the city: Aeroexpress, taxi or private transfer
· 2 min read
Moscow has three large passenger airports, all far from the centre: Sheremetyevo to the north beyond Khimki, Domodedovo 45 km to the south and Vnukovo to the south-west. The Aeroexpress train is the fastest way to the centre at rush hour; a car from the terminal door is the easiest with luggage, children or at night.

When a transfer beats the train
- Three or four of you: the price is per car, so per person it is close to train tickets plus a taxi from the station.
- A night arrival or an early departure, when trains are not running.
- Your hotel is not near a station, or you are staying in the Moscow region.
- You are travelling on to Tver, Tula, Kaluga, Ryazan or Yaroslavl without changing at a station.
Meeting your driver
The driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign. Add your flight number when booking: if the flight is late, the pick-up moves with it. Driver details come by SMS as well, so you do not need mobile data at the airport. Drivers rarely speak English — write your address in Russian in the booking comment.
