If you intend to spend a few days here, moving from the airport to the city centre with a fixed-price taxi service may be the best solution.

The Russian capital has a problematic history and, over the years, cultural, social and economic transformations were not lacking: visiting this city will allow you to take a leap into the past and breathe these changes, starting with the presence of the tsars. to the more recent presence of the Soviet Union.
In recent decades, it has proved to be on a par with European capitals by its vivacity and dynamism and is the nation's most important cultural centre. It is the most important Russian city, the seat of government and the economic centre of the whole country, as well as the leading European city in terms of population and area. You can visit it both during the cold winter days and during the mild summer days: both seasons have their charm and it is very important to start off on the right foot when you arrive. Keep in mind the importance of the transfer when planning your trip: don't waste precious time with long waits at the airport and numerous public transport stops!

Transport in Moscow
There are several means of transport from Domodedovo airport to the city centre: fast trains, metro, buses and taxis.
The cheapest solution compared to fast trains may be the metro, but the nearest stop is 30 minutes by bus, as it is not inside the airport. For more information, we recommend consulting the official website Public transport in Moscow
If you are looking for the most comfortable solution, the choice will undoubtedly rest with the taxi. As in any other city, on your arrival at the airport you will find, from the terminal, the public taxi stations in Moscow, generally yellow and with the luminous sign on the roof. There are many cars available, but their availability may vary depending on the time of day, day of the week and passenger traffic conditions, so you may have to wait a long time before you leave. Using a public taxi to get to the city centre can be a quick and convenient but also very expensive solution. The meter can also increase dramatically depending on traffic conditions and the time of day.
All things considered, if you are looking for the most comfortable and economical solution at the same time, we recommend the convenience and speed of a private taxi at a fixed price, with more competitive and affordable prices compared to public fares, especially if you travel in a group.
Once you arrive in the city, your vacation really begins you can start exploring the central areas on foot, while for attractions outside the historic centre we recommend that you travel by public transport. Don't be discouraged by the difficulty of the language because using the Moscow metro is very simple: there are 12 active lines with almost 200 stations with which it is possible to reach all points of interest in the city. In addition, the architectural beauty of some of its stations makes it a tourist attraction at the same time. Most of the lines are open from morning to one o'clock in the morning; different types of travel tickets are available (single, two trips, 20, 40 and 60 trips) or you can buy the Troika Card that allows unlimited trips on all means of transport.
The city also has a more complicated and obsolete network of buses, trams and trolleybuses, but that is of less interest to tourists because it reaches mostly very peripheral areas with no places of interest.
