Bus

The bus is the cheapest option, although it does not reach the city centre directly and takes a lot longer than other options, so it is not our most recommended mode of transport.

Aeroexpress Train

The train runs between Sheremetyevo Airport and Belrussky Station, which is on metro line 2 (green line). From there, you can reach Red Square in less than 5 minutes by metro. The Aeroexpress operates between 6 am and midnight, takes 35 minutes and costs 420 RUB.

Taxi

The journey from the airport to the city centre takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes, and the estimated price per taxi would be between ₽ 1,600 (US$ 16) and ₽ 2,000 (US$ 20). This will depend on the location of your hotel and traffic at the time you're travelling.
