Best time to fly

The best time to visit Moscow is during late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September). The weather is mild, and you'll avoid the peak summer heat and the harsh winter conditions. Consider visiting during Victory Day on May 9 for a major national celebration.

Getting from the airport to Moscow

From Domodedovo Airport (DME), you can take the Aeroexpress train to Paveletsky Railway Station for around 500 rubles. Alternatively, buses and marshrutkas (minibuses) are available for a cheaper but slower journey. A taxi to the city center will cost approximately 1500-2000 rubles.

Things to do in Moscow

Visit Red Square, the central square of Moscow and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the Moscow Kremlin, a historic fortified complex with cathedrals and palaces. Take a ride on the Moscow Metro, known for its ornate stations. Wander through Gorky Park, a large green space with recreational activities.

Food to try

Try borscht, a traditional beetroot soup, often served with sour cream. Sample pelmeni, Russian dumplings filled with meat, similar to momos. Indulge in blini, thin pancakes that can be topped with sweet or savory fillings.

Local tips

Learn a few basic Russian phrases, as English is not widely spoken. Be aware of your surroundings and take precautions against pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas. Always carry your passport and visa with you.
