    • train: direct from the airport, the Aeroexpress takes 35 minutes to get to the heart of the city, arriving near a metro station;
    • taxi: make sure you use one of the two official companies (Yandex Taxi or Svo-Taxi) by booking your journey at the taxi desk in your terminal. The journey time ranges from 45 minutes to double that at rush hour.

    Travelling with S7 Airlines? You will land at Moscow Domodedovo Airport, 45 kilometres from Red Square. To get to the city, you have the following options:

    • train: direct from the airport, the Aeroexpress takes 45 minutes to get to the heart of the city, arriving near a metro station;
    • a taxi: make sure you use the official company (Gett Taxi) by booking your journey at the taxi desk in your terminal. Allow at least 1h30 for the trip.

    • the train: first take a shuttle bus to Otdyh station, then get the Sputnik express train to Kazansky station in the north-east of the city, where you can get the metro;
    • a taxi: not the cheapest option, but undoubtedly the fastest and most comfortable.

What to do in
Moscow ?

The Cold War is just a distant memory, but there’s no denying that the capital of Russia still has a unique aura that sets it apart from all other major European cities. This immense city fascinates us because of its history and the place it occupies (rightly or wrongly) in our imaginations today. But behind the myth, the attentive visitor will discover a different truth: that of modern-day Moscow, where everyday life, from its simplest customs and pleasures to its occasional harshness, never ceases to amaze. It also never fails to charm!

  • A city of contrasts

    The city of the Bolshoi Ballet is more than just the capital of Russia: it is the capital of contrasts! Stroll through the streets with your partner or friends, get off the beaten track, mingle with the locals and discover the unbelievable paradoxes of the city that is proudly nicknamed the “Third Rome” by its people.
    Moscow is eight-lane roads filled with saloon cars and chauffeured 4x4’s with tinted windows, their engines thrumming just a few hundred metres from Lenin’s tomb. In honour of a glorified past, the city has rebuilt forgotten churches, while striving towards an ambitious future with the skyscrapers of Moskva City. This constantly evolving megalopolis nevertheless has around a hundred parks and gardens, creating a peaceful haven with 3 to 4 times more green space per inhabitant than London, New York or Paris.
    In this land of culture, the great museums of the city where Pushkin was born are known the world over for their rich collections and high-quality exhibitions. Meanwhile, far from these institutions, young artists have taken over abandoned factories, where they bring alive and share their visions of art and design. The lungs of the Russian economy and a stronghold of numerous multinationals, the “Third Rome” is spilling over with trendy spots and exclusive gastronomic restaurants. However, even in the city centre, you can still find fantastic food for barely 5 euros: the perfect chance to try freshly cooked local dishes. And this is just a small sample of what Moscow has to offer…

  • The top 10 things to do in Moscow

    See more See less
    • Spend some time on Red Square, one of the most famous squares in the world and a truly breathtaking sight. It is full of life and history.
    • Visit the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and the mummified body of the father of the Soviet Union, then admire Saint Basil’s Cathedral, a multicoloured fairy-tale palace built on orders from Ivan the Terrible.
    • Step inside the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, The largest religious building in the city. Just like the Messiah, it has been resurrected! Dynamited by Stalin in 1931, it was identically rebuilt after the fall of communism
    • Go window shopping at GUM, the upmarket shopping centre on Red Square. Under its impressive Belle Epoque glass roof are 200 luxury shops and, on the third floor, a canteen (Stolovaya 57) offering the best value for money on the Moscow restaurant scene.
    • Journey to the centre of the earth… or almost, with the most beautiful metro in the world. Make sure you take the escalator at Park Pobedy, which is the world’s longest at 126 metres long!
    • Bring home a souvenir! Like caviar? Head to Eliseevsky to shop in Moscow’s luxury food hall. Mouthwatering! Want to buy Russian dolls or a Red Army hat? Leave the city centre and head for Izmailovo, with its second Kremlin that is home to a fantastic flea market.
    • Meet the family, or rather the city’s “Seven Sisters”: Stalinist-style skyscrapers at various points around the centre of Moscow. They are as spectacular as they are gigantic. And that’s saying something!
    • Break open your piggy bank to see Moscow spread out beneath you while you enjoy a meal at Sixty, the panoramic restaurant in Federation Tower. The view, like the bill, will make your head spin!
    • Explore the exhibitions at the Pushkin Museum. With a collection of 640,000 works, this fine arts Museum is a worthy rival for the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. Admire Italian Renaissance, Dutch Golden Age and French Impressionist works.
    • Go to the factory! The former Krasny Oktyabr (Red October) confectionery factory is now a hub for Moscow’s new wave of artistic talent: artists, designers, photographers, art dealers…
