Travelling to Moscow

If you want to travel by car or motorbike, 10 major highways, numbered M1 to
M10, fan out from Moscow to all points of the compass. Most are in fairly good
condition near to Moscow, but get in states of disrepair farther out.
Moscow has rail links to most parts of Russia, most former Soviet states, numerous
countries in Eastern and Western Europe, and China and Mongolia. Moscow has
nine main train stations, all with metro stations. The most popular route from
London is London-Brussels-Cologne/Berlin-Moscow. Perhaps the most famous train
to pass through is the trans-Siberian express which heads to Vladivostok and
connects to Beijing.
Buses run to a number of towns and cities within about 700kms radius of Moscow.
They are reasonably comfortable but to most places they're a bit slower than
trains, and less frequent.
Sheremetevo-2 Airport, 30kms northwest of the city centre, handles flights
to and from places outside the former Soviet Union. There are daily flights
by numerous airlines to and from nearly all European and many other world capitals,
and many provincial cities, too. A flight from London or Paris takes about three
hours, from New York about 10 hours. Four Moscow airports are devoted to flights
to and from places within Russia and the other ex-Soviet states. Check-in for
flights within the ex-USSR is supposed to close 40 minutes before take-off,
but be sure to reach the airport well before that.
In summer, passenger boats from Moscow ply the rivers and canals throughout
Russia all the way north to St Petersburg, and south to Astrakhan on the Volga
delta, near the Caspian Sea
