Moscow [1] is the capital of Russia . Having played a central role in the development of the Russian state and its history, Moscow was the capital of the former Soviet Union and continues to pave the way as Muscovites move into the 21st century. An 860 year-old city, Moscow airline ticket prices from korea to canada has many reminders of its imperial airline ticket prices from korea to canada and Soviet past. It is a sprawling city with numerous museums, Soviet-era monoliths and post-Soviet airline ticket prices from korea to canada kitsch. If there is one thing to remember when visiting the city and interpreting its fruits, it's that Moscow is like a historical graffiti wall - those who have come and gone all left their mark, sometimes on that of their predecessors.
Moscow is the financial and political centre of Russia and the former Soviet Union, with a population of around 13 million, and covers an area of around 1080 km². One-tenth of all Russian citizens live in the metropolitan area. Moscow is in GMT+4 time zone.
For many years since the break up of the Soviet Union, the economy has improved, airline ticket prices from korea to canada and the modern era has brought upon a wide variety of construction projects, modern architecture and quasi-modern transport systems.
Moscow is a large metropolis on the Moskva airline ticket prices from korea to canada River, which bends its way through the city. Most of the main sites are on the northern bank of the river. The other major waterway is the Yauza River, which flows into the Moskva east of the Kremlin.
Much of Moscow's airline ticket prices from korea to canada geography is defined by the numerous 'Ring Roads' that circle airline ticket prices from korea to canada the city at various distances from the centre, roughly following the outline of the walls that used to surround Moscow. With Red Square and the Kremlin forming the very centre, the innermost ring road is the Boulevard Ring ( Bulvarnoye Koltso ), built in the 1820s where the 16th century walls used to be. It runs from the Christ the Savior Cathedral in south-west central Moscow, to the mouth of the Yauza in south-east central Moscow.
The next ring road, the Garden Ring ( Sadovoe Koltso ), derives its name from the fact that landowners near the road in Tsarist times were obligated to maintain gardens to make the road attractive. In Soviet times, the road was widened, and curently you will find no gardens there.
The recently constructed Third Ring is not much use for tourists but is a heavily used motorway which absorbs a bit of Moscow's traffic. It roughly follows the outline airline ticket prices from korea to canada of Kamer-Kollezhsky val , the customs and passport boundary of Moscow between 1742 and 1852. The outer edge of Moscow is largely defined by the Moscow Ring Road (widely known by its abbreviation: MKAD-Moskovskaya koltsevaya avtomobilnaya doroga), a motorway which is 108 km long and encircles airline ticket prices from korea to canada the entire city (similar to London's M25 and Paris' Périphérique ). A Fourth airline ticket prices from korea to canada Ring was planned to be built between the Third Ring and the Moscow Ring Road, using in places the right-of-way of the freight rail loop, but the new mayor's administration announced the project was abandoned.
If you need a visa to go to Russia, Moscow is no exception; there's airline ticket prices from korea to canada no specific Moscow visa - once you have a valid Russian visa, you can go to Moscow as well as any other place in Russia. See Russia#Get in for details.
During the years 1980-1991 all international flights to Moscow landed at Sheremetyevo International Airport, airline ticket prices from korea to canada commonly called Sheremetyevo airline ticket prices from korea to canada II, which was recently renamed "Terminal F". The home base of Aeroflot's international services, Sheremetyevo II was built for the 1980 Summer Olympics. Sheremetyevo I (now "Terminal B") was built in 1960s as the then's international terminal, but after 1980 was "downgraded" to domestic service. Today Sheremetyevo also has four new terminals - A (business aviation), C, D and E. Aeroflot operates in terminals D, E and F.
In mid-2000s, Sheremetyevo was eclipsed by Domodedovo, which underwent a renovation and has always had a direct commuter rail link to the city. Many international carriers, including British Airways and Lufthansa, switched to Domodedovo and since 2005 it has catered to more passengers than Sheremetyevo. Aeroflot's biggest competitors S7 (Sibir) and Transaero, along with a slew of minnows, airline ticket prices from korea to canada are based at Domodedovo.
In the last years, the third airport, Vnukovo, has launched a major reconstruction project as well and has managed to attract a number of airlines including Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa. UTAir, a major domestic airline, has operated its network from Vnukovo for decades.
If you prefer to go to the airport by car, it is best to call a taxi agency and book a cab. There are many agencies that can provide this service, and the cost ranges from €30-50 or more. Be sure to check the list of official taxi operators on the official websites of airports. [6] , [7] . With telephone or online pre-booking you will be able to get a taxi for a cheaper price. All airports also have taxi kiosks where you can get yourself a driver at a fixed price, but a bit higher than if you book taxi online or by phone in advance. Don't listen to people jumping at you in the terminal as soon as you clear customs with offers of a taxi in several languages - at best it will get you a major rip-off, and may be unsafe to boot. For public transportation see below:
Sheremetyevo International Airport , ( IATA : SVO ) [8] has terminals A (business aviation), B, C, D, E and F on both sides of the runway [9] . You can walk between terminals A, B and C; or between terminals D, E and F; but you have to take a shuttle bus [10] or a taxi to go between the two sites. Sheremetyevo I is the old name for Terminal B, and Sheremetyevo II is the old name for Terminal F.
International flights depart terminals C, D, E and F. Domestic destinations are operated out of terminals B and D. Aeroflot has concentrated most of its flights to the newly built Terminal D (was known during the construction time as "Terminal 3" or "Sheremetyevo III"), though some flights are operated from E and F.
Sheremetyevo, airline ticket prices from korea to canada north of the city centre, is about as close to downtown Moscow as Vnukovo, airline ticket prices from korea to canada but the major road leading to it, Leningradskoye Shosse, is one of the busiest in the city and is normally a giant traffic jam most of the day.
The quickest way to get to Sheremetyevo is to take an Aeroexpress [11] train from Belorussky Railway Terminal (see below). These depart from a dedicated terminal (3d or 4th entrances) airline ticket prices from korea to canada from 5:50AM to 11:30PM every 30 or 60 minutes (check airline ticket prices from korea to canada their website before you go, there is a 2-hr "window" in the schedule between 11am and 1pm from the city terminal, and from 10:30am to 12:30pm from Sheremetyevo), and now connect directly to SVO-2/D/E/F, with a shuttle bus service to SVO-1/B/C. The journey takes 35 minutes and costs 320 rubles one-way (as of January 2013). Keep your paper or mobile ticket for the whole of the Aeroexpress journey. In contrast to many other airports, airline ticket prices from korea to canada Sheremetyevo isn't served by a mixture of express and suburban trains, and the Aeroexpress airline ticket prices from korea to canada is the only rail link to it.
If you are not in a hurry (particularly airline ticket prices from korea to canada if you are going from the airport airline ticket prices from korea to canada to the city), you can get to the airport by local transport. Bus 851 departs from Rechnoy Vokzal subway station airline ticket prices from korea to canada (North of the green line), bus 817 departs from Planernaya (North of the purple line). The station in the airport is near the exit of terminals E, F. The cost is equal to the cost of a normal bus journey inside the city (single-ride tickets cost 25 RUB at the vendor kiosks, 28 RUB from the driver). Mind that the buses might be stuck in a traffic jam.
Most flights from/to Sheremetyevo II are operated either by Aeroflot or by its partner airline ticket prices from korea to canada international carriers, mostly airline ticket prices from korea to canada members of the SkyTeam alliance. Check-in starts two hours before departure time (three hours for U.S.-bound flights).
If you fly economy and there are several people in your group, for check-in it's better to have someone to stand in business class queue, especially if you arrive before registration starts: business-class clerk opens first and may take on economy class passengers if there's none (or at least not too many) business-class customers.
Driving in to Sheremetyevo II area (going behind toll bar) is hugely overpriced and should be avoided whenever possible. In addition to entry charge of 100 rubles/hour (rounded up to the next hour), after entering the toll bar, there is an extra charge taken, from 100 rubles/hour to 300 rubles/hour, depending on the distance from entrance and the comfort of parking—with an unofficial option of an unlimited-time stay for 300 rubles.
In the pre-check-in area on the departures level, there's airline ticket prices from korea to canada only TGI Friday plus six to eight no-name cafes/bars/coffee shops. TGIF can make your coffee to go, but charges airline ticket prices from korea to canada about 360 rubles for mid-sized latte and serves it in Coca-Cola-branded paper cups. They also have free Wi-Fi which can be used outside of the restaurant as well. The TGIF serves the same menu as in America, which may come in handy on your way out if you have grown tired of salty smoked fish and warm drinks. There's a cheap self-service cafeteria two levels up (use the elevator or the stairs), where all the airport workers eat, and a more formal 1980's Soviet-retro-chic restaurant above it. Both have nice view of the tarmac.
Most cafes and restaurants beyond passport control are faceless and overpriced. Club Bar boasts Ronnefeldt teas and decent pancakes however. Note that you have to clear customs before check-in so there's practically no going back after you check-in to the cafeteria or the restaurant upstairs.
The airport has banking and currency exchange offices, and ATMs are available in both the arrivals and departures areas. Remember to change your rubles airline ticket prices from korea to canada into Euros or USD before departing Moscow, as almost no other country will cash in your rubles for you. Duty-free shops operated by Aerofirst Moscow Duty Free [12] cover a large space, but merely repeat the same choice in five or six outlets. As elsewhere, only the most popular local souvenirs are sold, still with a huge margin. This terminal also has a hairdresser, pharmacy and a medical office as well as
