Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station review: Neat and tidy modular power

A compact charger for your most important portable apple devices..

iMore Verdict

Taking up little desk space thanks to its vertically-oriented design, the Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is a great rest spot for your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. Charging quickly and safely, its modular design makes it flexible to use, while an adjustable iPhone bracket lets it double as a video viewing stand, too.

Adjustable iPhone placement

Cables! Cables as far as the eye can see! Our modern need to charge many multiple devices before we go out of the house means that, if we want a tidy desk space or bedside table, investing in a multi-device charging dock is the way to go. The introduction of Apple’s MagSafe charging standard, which lets devices be wirelessly charged while held in place with strong magnets, has made a cottage industry for manufacturers looking to send power to our iPhones , AirPods and Apple Watches . But some prove so bulky that any gains made over cable management are lost to desk space woes instead.

There are no such problems for the Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. Its upright orientation and clever modular design mean it slips easily onto a desk without disruption, while also doubling as a handy viewing stand for any video your iPhone may be playing. We recommend it without hesitation. Read on to find out why.

Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: Price and availability

The Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is available now, priced at $139.99. If you’re in the UK, it’s one of those rare occasions when you’ll get a better-priced deal on a gadget too, with the charging station priced at £109.99 in old Blighty. 

It’d be a good deal at the US pricing, but it’s a real steal in the UK. For comparison, the Belkin Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad has an RRP of $149.99 / £139.99, and for my money, the Journey device is the better choice. 

There’s a slight catch in that price though — there’s no wall plug included in the box (though a 1.5m USB-C to USB-C cable is packed in). So factor that into the overall cost if you haven’t got one spare.

Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: What I love

A quick run down on the key specs before going into what’s made the Journey Rapid Trio my go-to charging stand. The Rapid Trio supports charging three devices at once — a MagSafe compatible iPhone ( iPhone 12 through iPhone 14 and beyond) an Apple Watch and MagSafe compatible AirPods too. Alternatively, you can swap the AirPods out for a second iPhone. 

They’ll charge off a minimum 20W USB-C wall charger, connected by a single USB-C cable to the base, but higher-powered chargers will deliver faster charging speeds — Journey recommends its own 30W mini charger as an accompaniment, for instance. MFi certified, it’s smart enough to protect your battery health, and react to any potential temperature spikes to keep your device working at its best — I’ve experienced no charging connection or overheating problems in the weeks I’ve been using the Rapid Trio.

As mentioned, there are three charging areas on the stand — and two come with some very useful secondary features which make the Rapid Trio a particularly useful option.

First of all there’s the charging unit in the base of the device. Though it’s intended primarily for AirPods, it’ll happily charge an iPhone placed on it, too. It’s a great bit of flexibility that not all similar chargers offer.

The main charging station though is solely for an iPhone — a MagSafe connection that sits on a vertical arm, raising your device about 6-inches off the base. It’s a powerful magnetic connection that holds your phone firmly in place on a tilting hinge — powerful enough to hold the device horizontally, too. As a result, I’ve been using it on sleepless nights on my bedside table as a mini YouTube screen, displayed in widescreen. It’s something charging mats don’t allow for.

The most interesting element though is the Apple Watch charging plate. It’s a modular option included in the box — it clips into the back of the main iPhone charging bracket with a USB-C port. What’s great about it is that, because it pops in and out, you can easily take it with you alongside your MacBook, pop it in the side of your computer, and get a quick on-the-go battery boost to the wearable when away from the stand. It’s a neat extra and a handy secondary feature.

It’s generally just an attractive device, too. Whether you go for the black or white finish, it’s a relatively discreet design (dimensions a mere 169.3mm (H) x 133.58mm (D) x 85.63mm (W)) when not in use, with its metallic riser reassuringly sturdy. 

Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: What I don’t love

I’m nitpicking to find fault with the generally-excellent Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, but if a second-generation device ever arrives, there are a few small tweaks I’d make.

Chief among them would be some sort of way of controlling the indicator light on the front edge of the base. A white light that slowly pulses when charging, it’s useful for seeing that your devices are charging at a glance. But at night it’s surprisingly bright and can prove distracting on a bedside table. Lowering the brightness or making it an optional feature would be better.

I’d like a little more weight in the base too. It’s a sturdy charger — I never worried about it toppling over with my iPhone 14 Pro attached, it’s well balanced. But the MagSafe connection is strong enough that it takes two hands to release the phone — one to pull the iPhone from the magnet, and one to keep the base in place. A little more weight in the base might make it easy to remove the phone with one hand. The design means it’s not a particularly travel-friendly device anyway, so some extra weight wouldn’t be a problem.

And though it’s a well-priced device — a bargain in the UK in particular — it’d be an even better deal with a charger in the box. Though, having said that, I appreciate we’ve all probably got a spare knocking about at this point, and any avoided e-waste is a good thing.

Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: Competition

You have a ton of options when it comes to MagSafe chargers — including devices produced by Apple itself. Though AirPower remains a mythical failure, you can still pick up the one-device MagSafe Charger puck and travel-friendly MagSafe Duo Charger , as well as the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock . These will only charge one or two devices at a time though, and the Duo option is usually priced close to what this three-device option from Journey will set you back.

Belkin has a similarly-vertical charger in its upright Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charger . It’s usually a bit more expensive than the Rapid Trio, and it’s wider with its tree-like design, but that’s better if you want to keep an eye on your Apple Watch screen, too. We’ve also reviewed the Boost Charge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad , which is similarly priced and great if you don’t have as much vertical space to play with. Its flat design makes it easier to travel with, too.

You can find lots of cheaper options out there from lesser-known brands, but we tend to avoid recommending them among our best wireless chargers for multiple devices lists, as battery health is so important to our gadgets. You want a charger that won’t burn out your iPhone, and thankfully all of the picks we recommend will take good care of your device’s health.

Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: Should you buy it?

You should buy this if….

• You have the trinity of wireless-charging-ready iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods
• You’re sick of dealing with multiple plugs and cables
• You want to use your Apple Watch as a bedside clock

You shouldn’t buy this if…

• You only charge one device at a time
• Your gear doesn’t support MagSafe
• You need a charging station that you can travel with

Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: Verdict

The Journey Rapid Trio 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is just what I want from a multi-device charger. It’s neat and tidy, not taking up unnecessary space, and doesn’t look ugly when not in use. It safely charges all my daily Apple devices, but does so with some added bells and whistles too — not least of all its removable Apple Watch charger. Priced appropriately, it’s a superb choice for anyone looking to power the core trinity of on-the-go Apple devices all at once.

Bottom line: A neat charging station that has some modular extras for Apple Watch, and double as a viewing stand.

Q: Does the Rapid TRIO only charge through MagSafe cases? What about other cases?

A: For the iPhone to attach magnetically, a MagSafe-compatible case must be used, or you can charge your phone without the case. Alternatively, use the included magentic ring to add MagSafe compatibilty to your phone or case.

Q: Does the charger support the latest Apple Watch Ultra & 9?

A: Yes, the Rapid TRIO works with Apple watch series 1-9, SE and Ultra1/2.

Q: Can I use with my AirPods Pro?

A: Yes, the Rapid TRIO works with AirPods Pro and all generation of AirPods with wireless charging-enabled cases.

Q: How do I know if my case is MagSafe?

A: Check the specifications on your product’s packaging or online. Most MagSafe cases have a visible circular ring on the inside or outside of the case to indicate it in MagSafe compatible.

Q: Will it charge my Google Pixel earbuds?

A: If your earbuds support Qi wireless charging, yes.

Q: Will it work for an iPad as well?

A: No. Wireless chargers aren’t ordinarily designed to charge tablets. The Rapid TRIO is designed to wirelessly charge your smartphone, smartwatch, earbuds, and a second phone.

Q: Will the Rapid TRIO charge my iPhone 14?

A: Yes. It will charge iPhones 12 and onwards. If you have an earlier model iPhone, which is wireless charging compatible, you can attach the magnetic ring that comes in the box of the Rapid TRIO to equip it for MagSafe-compatible charging.

Q: Does the magnet have any side effects for my phone?

A: No. Today’s smartphones and accessories are unaffected by magnets. iPhones 12 and onwards feature magnets inside too.

Q: Can I charge my Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy with the Rapid TRIO?

A: Yes. The Rapid TRIO includes a MagSafe-compatible magnetic ring you can stick to the back of any wireless charging enabled Android phone to draw charging from the charger pad.

Q: How much power does my wall charger need to power the Rapid TRIO ?

A: We recommend a minimum 20W USB-C Power wall charger. You can purchase the Journey 30W Mini USB-C charger as well.

Journey SWIV 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station review: Tiny, tidy, and mighty

Expert's Rating

• 3-in-1 charging
• Fast charge Watch
• Foldable for travel
• Super compact design

Our Verdict

We love the snappy neatness of this multi-device charging station, which is not just a great way to declutter your desk or bedside table, but a properly portable solution, too. It is a foldable, small-footprint charging station for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods that can slip into your pocket but also look like a premium desk-based product when unfolded.

If you own not just an Apple iPhone but AirPods and Apple Watch too, a 3-in-1 multi-device charger will keep your desk free of snaking cables and three different chargers requiring power.

One charging station means one power supply, ridding your workspace or bedside table of too many cables and chargers looking for power sockets.

We’ve reviewed the best iPhone chargers and best Apple Watch chargers , but some can tackle the charging demands of both, as well as taking on AirPods charging case.

Journey makes some of our favorite Apple accessories, and its SWIV 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is a great solution for not just multi-device charging but also what you take on your travels.

Performance

The SWIV 3-in-1 is certified for Apple Watch, so can fast-charge any Apple Watch (Series 7 or later) at 3W. It’s MagSafe-compatible for the iPhone side, which means it can charge at 7.5W rather than the certified Made for MagSafe 15W.

MagSafe works with the iPhone 12 and later (but not the SE). The Qi charging pad is rated at 3W for Apple AirPods (2nd and 3rd generation AirPods, and all AirPods Pro).

While there are faster and more flexible 3-in-1 charging stations, such as the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe and OtterBox 3-in-1 Charging Station with MagSafe , neither is portable like the Journey SWIV 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is.

The SWIV can be laid flat to take on all its charging duties but is also easily folded for transit. The MagSafe pad folds back onto the Watch charging module and magnetically snaps shut.

It’s a really neat design and the best travel-friendly folding charger that we’ve tested.

You can place your Apple Watch in Nightstand mode or flat on the base as the charging module can flip up to your preference.

It’s made of aluminum with a vegan leather material base and has a small-footprint design—taking up less space on your desk than an iPhone Pro: 8.3 x 2.9 x 0.5 inches (21 x 7.4 x 1.3cm) when open, and 5.2 x 2.9 x 1 inches (13.3 x 7.4 x 2.5cm) closed. It weighs just 5.2oz (147g), and is available in just one color: white

It doesn’t ship with a power adapter, so you’ll need at least a 20W USB-C charger, though Journey does supply a 5-foot (1.5m) USB-C cable.

ESR’s HaloLock 3-in-1 Travel Wireless Charging Set is also great for portability in a smart case, but it doesn’t offer fast charging for the Watch and comes in multiple parts, unlike the one-piece Journey SWIV. The 2-in-1 Zens MagSafe + Watch travel charger is more portable but not a Watch fast charger—and can’t handle an AirPods case at the same time. We have reviewed more products in our roundups of the best MagSafe chargers and best Apple Watch chargers .

Price & availability

The Journey SWIV 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station costs $119.99/£89.99/€112,95 and is available directly from Journey ( U.S. / U.K. / CA / AU / E.U. ).

Should you buy the Journey SWIV 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station?

We love the neatness of this multi-device charging station, which is not just a great way to declutter your desk or bedside table by removing multiple cables and wall chargers, but a properly portable solution, too. It is a foldable, small-footprint charging station for an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods that can slip into your pocket but also look like a premium desk-based product when unfolded.

Get 30% off Journey’s new MagSafe-compatible, 3-in-1 wireless charger

By David Snow • 11:00 am, December 30, 2021

This MagSafe charger post is brought to you by Journey, a brand of Alogic. 

You probably have cables to charge your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch. But wouldn’t it be great to charge them all at once, in one place, like on your nightstand or desk? Without a bunch of wires? With the handsome new Journey 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, you can.

Journey’s newest charger also serves as a stand for your gadgets — and it looks good doing it. And, by the way, if you act fast, you can get the new charging station for 30% off with the coupon X30.

Journey 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station: Convenience and style

The company’s first 3-in-1 charger

Journey created the new 3-in-1 MagSafe-compatible wireless charging station to help you power up your iPhone 12 or 13, AirPods or AirPods Pro with wireless charging case, and Apple Watch (all models) — all at once, if you like. It’s a stylish and convenient addition to your nightstand, desk or side table by the front door.

The charger is the latest release in Journey’s growing range of MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers, the company said.

MagSafe compatibility equals convenience

Journey’s 3-in-1 wireless charging device works with Apple’s MagSafe technology, built into its latest handsets. The charger’s strong magnetic hold auto-aligns your iPhone 12 or 13 and securely holds it in place. And yet it’s still easy to snatch it back off the magnetic surface when you need it.

Of course, the charger works well with iPhones in MagSafe-compatible cases.

The charger requires just one USB-C cable connection between it and a wall charger. All charging of your devices is wireless. That cuts down on cable clutter, keeping your space neat.

Nice touches

Journey included a subtle white LED indicator that lets you know when your device batteries are charging, just to take away any doubt about whether you placed the device on the charger in just the right spot.

And speaking of placing devices on the charger, it’s also a good-looking stand for your gadgets. You can place your phone in portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation, and even rotate it 360 degrees. You can use it hands-free while it charges.

Meanwhile, your AirPods charging case and Apple Watch can power up at the same time, without being in the way. The Apple Watch sits neatly on a platform behind the magnetic iPhone charger. The AirPods sit in a shallow indentation in the stand’s base.

The charger’s base is sturdy, with nonslip feet that means it will stay put while it holds your devices. And it comes in your choice of two colors: black or white.

Designed for battery health and longevity

Journey’s new charger also helps keep your devices’ batteries healthy while charging fast. Over-current protection, over-voltage protection, over-temperature protection and foreign-object detection all help reduce wear on your device’s battery.

Plus, Journey said its new charging technology charges your phone two times more efficiently than many other chargers.

Built-in Apple Watch charger

The built-in Apple Watch charger works with all models and sizes of everyone’s favorite wearable.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 163.3mm high x 113.1mm deep x 85.6mm wide
• MagSafe-compatible: Yes
• Weight: 325 grams
• Package contains 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station, USB-C Charging Cable, User Manual (doesn’t include wall charger)

Price: $99.95 (get 30% off this price with code X30 at checkout)

Effortlessly charge your devices when traveling with SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Station.

One of the things that I dread when traveling is having enough charging cables and adapters for my essential devices — like my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods Pro. Staying connected is very important to me and I’ve found that having a travel charger that takes care of all of those devices at one time is the easiest possible solution. I’ve used travel chargers from mophie and Apple, and now from Journey.

The SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Station from Journey is a compact, travel charging kit that makes powering your mobile items much easier.

About  SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Station

Journey is a company focused on creating unique accessories that are “practical, stylish, and sustainable.” The SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Charger has been praised for its ability to charge three devices simultaneously, offering a portable alternative to traditional triple-charger stations. The SWIV brings versatility to various charging environments and serves as a stylish centerpiece on desks, nightstands, and tables.

It is perfect for communal spaces like hotel suites where multiple users can benefit from its fast wireless charging capabilities for iPhones, wireless-charging earbuds, and Apple Watches. In addition to the included 1.5-meter USB-C cable, the Qi and MagSafe-compatible charger appeals to those who share charging equipment in places like hotel suites or home offices. Wrapped in vegan leather, the SWIV not only excels in functionality but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of common charging areas.

Pricing & Availability

The SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Station is available from  journeyofficial.com  for $119.99. It’s only available in white. Consumers have the option of purchasing the charging station in 4 interest-free payments through ShopPay.

User Experience

The SWIV Charging Station comes in a very nice retail-style box. There is a picture of the product on the front and some details on the back. When you open the box, you’ll find the charger, a USB-C cable and its manual. The manual does a good job of describing the different parts of the device and illustrates how to use it.

The SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Station has a unique design. It’s sort of a hybrid between a desktop charging station and other foldable chargers I’ve seen. The solid base is where the AirPods and the Apple Watch rest to recharge while the foldable segment is where the iPhone charges. The cable snaps into the back of the charging station just below the Apple Watch charger. Because the Apple Watch charger and the iPhone puck are both magnetic, the two sides stick together for traveling.

I recently took a trip to Chicago, which is a 5+ hour drive from where I live. This charger came in handy because I was able to toss it into my laptop backpack without needing a separate case for a charging station. It’s also slim enough to fit into my cable/accessory bag. One thing I’m not a big fan of is the fact that there isn’t an easy way to keep the cable with the SWIV. I tried looping one piece of the cable through the leather part but this made it impossible for the magnetic connection between the watch and iPhone chargers fails. So, it would be great if there was a future improvement that addressed this.

After I got it set up, I ran a charging test. This is where I record the charging progress of devices for 30 minutes and then calculate the charging rate per minute. I tested the Apple Watch and iPhone 14 Pro with this charging test. The watch gained 19% and the iPhone gained 20%. This ends up being a charging rate of 0.67% per minute for the iPhone and 0.63% per minute for the Apple Watch. While this is a bit slower than other chargers I’ve tested, it is still an efficient charging option for travel — especially when used overnight.

The SWIV 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Station is an easy-to-use travel charging option. It might provide a slower charge than some other charges, but its compact design makes up for it.

The Foldable, 3-in-1 Charging Station Every Traveler Should Pack

This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. For an explanation of our Advertising Disclosure, visit this page .

One of my constant frustrations when traveling is keeping all of my devices charged. Over the years, the number of products I use that require charging has grown considerably. It’s no longer just my phone and computer. Now, many of us have to charge a watch, a Kindle, tablets, earbuds and headphones. It’s a lot. RELATED: The Tech Organizer All Travelers Need

Add to that the fact that I am generally traveling with my husband and two kids and it means there are even more devices to charge, more cords and cables to pack and definitely not enough outlets in any hotel room.

First things first, when it comes to traveling with electronic devices, I always pack everything up in a sleek and compact travel tech organizing case. It’s the only way I can keep my sanity and always know exactly where all my chargers and cords are. I particularly like this BagSmart tech organizing case because of its size and durability but there are lots to choose from, which you can check out here . TIP: I also label every charging block so I know exactly what it’s for because my iPad charger is different from my iPhone charger, and my Kindle charger is different from the one used to charge my earbuds. It’s confusing and annoying and so frustrating if you’re trying to find something in a hurry. I label my chargers with neon-colored Post-Its and tape. I've found that a little bit of advance prep and organization goes a long way towards minimizing aggravation.

When I travel, I’m always looking for ways to streamline things and minimize the number of things I have to pack. I recently stumbled upon this foldable three-in-one charging station and it’s perfect for travel. Compact and easily portable, it can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods all at the same time.

When not used to charge your devices, it folds in on itself to become a phone stand so it’s useful for FaceTime calls or watching a show.

Here's what some recent Amazon reviewers had to say:

Buy the three-in-one foldable charger here . NOTE: At the time of this publication, it is 20% off. Regular price: $49.99; sale price: $39.99.

If you're an Android user, this charging station works the same way and is also foldable, making it perfectly portable for travel. NOTE: At the time of this publication, it is 37% off. Regular price: $59.99; sale price: $37.79.

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

• Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
• You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
• There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
• Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
• If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
• You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
• You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.

It’s great to be able to charge all 3 items at the same time and in such an attractive and compact format.

Having bought a quality product which should last a long time, it would be more helpful not to receive daily email updates from ‘Journey’. Thanks

I have an iPhone 15 pro max which has a MagSafe case. The charger holds the phone with case in tact very firmly. Solid base. Also holds my Apple Watch very securely. AirPods also charge very well. Would highly recommend.

Sturdy, good looking gives this a really high quality feel. Does exactly what I wanted and expected.

Excellent build quality, heavy enough for phone to be removed single handed. Great height and adjustable so phone can be tilted to virtually any angle

Arriving in Moscow soon? Here's a guide on riding to and from city airports

Your Moscow tour is about to begin and you just landed in the city. How will you go to the city centre without relying on anyone or getting ripped off by taxi drivers? Or, probably, you are in a hurry to take a connection flight from another airport or head to the railway station to catch the train on the Trans-Siberian route. Students are likely to take the next train to the university in another city in Russia.

Know all the options to travel to and from the airport beforehand if you have not engaged a tour company for the hotel transfer or city tour.

Premier airport shuttle train, named Aeroexpress, is the fastest and most convenient option. There are express bus service as well apart from taxis. No doubt, these three options are comfortable.

Moscow makes a bid to woo tourists; Foreign Tourist Card in the offing

How to explore Moscow Kremlin? Here's a detailed guide

If you are not in a hurry and with only a backpack, hop onto a city bus; but most buses won't go to the heart of the city. The bus ride is the cheapest, but not comfortable for a tourist.

Choose one mode of transport that suits you well in terms of convenience, money, time and safety.

Knowing about the city airports and their location will help you take the right call. Also some knowledge of the main railway stations and the metro railway too will help as you explore the city or criss-cross it for travelling out.

A) Airports

Befitting its status as a megacity and a major transportation hub, Moscow has four international airports — Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo and the newest, Zhukovsky — located in different locations away from the downtown but often closer to the nearest flight paths of regions/destinations served by the airports.

Any domestic or international tourist is likely to arrive at one of these four commercial airports and most likely in either of the first two — Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo — which are located at the opposite ends of the city.

A fifth one — Ostafyevo International Business Airport — is not for civil aviation, but, as the name suggests, for business aviation. (The airport is for private aircraft, charter services, aircraft maintenance, refuelling and parking and the like apart from the dedicated use by Russian energy giant Gazprom.)

All these airports lie around the city in all the directions and travel between the two nearest ones requires an hour or more by road.

There are a few more airports in and around the city but they are either for military or cargo aircraft.

1. Sheremetyevo International Airport

Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the busiest airport in Russia itself and the second-busiest in Europe. It is to the northwest of Moscow, about 35 km from the centre of the city, viz. the Red Square.

SVO is the best option for domestic flights too. Being the base of the Russian national carrier Aeroflot, flights to all corners of the vast country are easily available.

The formal name is Sheremetyevo Alexander S Pushkin International Airport.  

2. Domodedovo International Airport

Domodedovo (DME), the second busiest airport in Russia, is just behind Sheremetyevo in terms of passenger traffic. It is about 45 km southeast of Moscow.

The formal name is Domodedovo Mikhail Lomonosov International Airport.

Travellers intending to take connection flight from SVO or DME after arriving at either of the two should book a flight with a gap of at least 4 hours. A taxi ride between these two airports — 70 km apart — will take about 2 hours and 15 minutes: more with a major traffic block on the way; however, from Domodedovo to Vnukovo Airport the taxi can take you in 1 hour 30 minutes.

From Domodedovo the taxi ride to major railway stations will be between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours.

At the Domodedovo airport a treat awaits cargeeks: a collection of vintage cars is on display. NOTE:

1. A transit visa is required for international travellers boarding flight from a different airport or even to visit the city after first arriving at another one. Please try to get the connection flight that departs from the arrival airport in less than 24 hours to avoid the hassle of obtaining a transit visa.

2. Transit visa is valid for 72 hours if travelling by air. The validity is 10 days if you intend a road journey to another country.

3. To apply for a transit visa at the Russian Embassy/Consulate you only need 1) a copy of the visa of the destination country, if at all that is required, 2) DEFINITELY the copy of fight tickets for arriving and departing from airports in Russia. On your return if you intend to transit again, please don't forget to mention Double Entry as you apply for the transit visa, 3) and a cover letter stating the purpose and itinerary.  

3. Vnukovo International Airport

Vnukovo Andrei Tupolev International Airport (VKO) is closer to the city than the other airports. It is just 28 km southwest of the city centre. It is the oldest airport in operation in Moscow. It is smaller than SVO and DME and trails them in terms of traffic. The airport primarily serves flights to and from the North Caucasus and destinations near the Black Sea. Destinations south of Moscow too has connectivity from here. The domestic and overseas destinations include Grozny, Tashkent, Astana, Bukhara, St Petersburg, Baku, Sochi, Yeravan, Dushanbe, Samara, Dubai and Istanbul. Flights to even a few Far East destinations in Russia are also available. Flights to Ukraine stand cancelled with the outbreak of hostilities in early 2021.  

4. Zhukovsky International Airport

Zhukovksy (ZIA) airport commenced commercial services in 2016. It is 43 km southeast of the city centre and close to the defunct Bykovo Airport. Domodedovo airport too is nearly of the same distance from Zhukovksy but to its southwest. Destinations served from Zhukovksy include Antalya, İstanbul, Almaty, Dushanbe, Bishkek, Sabetta (on the Yamal Peninsula).

B) Major Railway Stations

Moscow has rail connectivity to all parts of Russia. International trains link Moscow to cities in Europe and Asia (in China and Mongolia.)

(Trains to Europe stand cancelled with the imposition of sanctions by the West following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.)

Trains depart from 10 railway terminals in Moscow. These are: Belorussky, Kazansky, Kievsky, Kursky, Leningradsky, Paveletsky, Rizhsky, Savyolovsky, Yaroslavsky and Vostochny, the latter being the newest that opened in May 2021.

The stations of the Moscow Metro, though mostly underground, are close to these railway terminals. You have to follow the signs to flit between the railway stations and the nearest metro station; at some places you may have to just cross the road - but don't worry a metro station is always near!

For tourists there is scope for confusion regarding the name of the railway station and the nearest metro station. For instance the metro station closest to Paveletsky railway station is called Paveletskaya.

Metro stations can be identified with the distinct sign 'M'.

Do you know the Moscow Metro themselves are tourist attractions?

Suburban trains and monrail too are there, but none as important as the legendary and century-old Moscow Metro — "one of the most beautiful underground systems in the world."

You may download the interactive Yandex Moscow Metro app to identify stations and lines as well as to plan your trip.

During your Moscow tour you are unlikely to miss the Russian Railways' logo stylised in Cyrillic as PZD - the Russian acronym of Rossiyskie Sheleznye Dorogi.  

1. No long-distance trains run from Savyolovsky.

2. No suburban trains are operated from Vostochny.

3. 'Vostochny' means 'Eastern'. Vostochny terminal came up at the site of the Cherkizovo railway station. It is the first to be built in ther last 100 years; Kievsky, the last one, was inaugurated in 1918.

4. Leningradsky, which is in operation since 1851, is the oldest railway station in Moscow.   

C) Aeroexpress Trains

New-generation double- and single-decker high-speed trains, named Aeroexpress, provide the most comfortable and the fastest connectivity between the main airports in Moscow and the major railway stations in the city.

The rail link to Moscow city by way of Aeroexpress is available at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports.

The trains also stop at a few stations in between their terminals at airports and the downtown railway stations.

Main routes and travel time

1. Sheremetyevo Airport-Belorussky Railway Station. (65 minutes from/till SVO Terminals B and C.)

2. Sheremetyevo Airport-Savyolovsky Rail Terminal (of suburban trains). (60 min from/till SVO Terminals B and C.

3. Domodedovo Airport-Paveletsky Railway Station. 45 minutes

4. Vnukovo Airport-Kievsky Rail Terminal. 35 minutes

Where else to board/alight?

• At Sheremetyevo Airport the Aeroexpress train starts from Terminals B and C. It can be boarded from Terminals D, E, F too where the train arrives 10 min after departing.

• In the city, the Sheremetyevo Aeroexpress train can be boarded from a special platform near the Okruzhnaya station on the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) metro line. To reach the platform you need to cross the road after exiting the MCC Okruzhnaya. Don't worry: just follow the directions. (Okruzhnaya is 10 km north of Belorussky Railway Station.)

• The Domodedovo Aeroexpress train stops at Domodedovo town railway station on Platform 3.

• In downtown Moscow, you may also board or alight from the Domodedovo Aeroexpress train at a separate platform built at a short distance from the MCC Verkhny Kotly metro station. This is near the Paveletsky Rail Terminal where the Aeroexpress to Domodedovo begins or ends journey. Nagatinskaya metro station is also near Verkhny Kotly.

• Non-Aeroexpress trains taking the line between Domodedovo town and Paveletsky too stop at the beforementioned Verkhny Kotly Aeroexpress platform.

Tickets and fare

Aeroexpress has two classes of coaches: Standard and Business.

Tickets can be bought at the Aeroexpress terminal at airports and railway stations. You may even buy them online in advance: 90 days ahead.

At airports you may even come across sales personnel in distinct uniform as you proceed to the Aeroexpress terminal. They may even guide you.

Ticket vending machine is another option as long as you can make out the instructions or know to operate it. Also, using your card you may buy a digital ticket at the turnstiles using the Pay@Gate service.

The lowest fare for one ride is 450 Roubles (for Standard class); for round-trip it is 450 RUB. The fare for Business class is 1,000 and 1,900 RUB for single and round trips, respectively. A family pack too is available - roundtrip ticket for two adults and two children costs 1,400 RUB; it's free for children below 5 years. (NB: The prices as of Nov, 2022.)

Aeroexpress trains run from morning (by six o'clock) to midnight every 30 minutes. The travel time is 45 to 60 minutes.

On the train there is ample space to place your luggage. Bulky ones, if any, you may keep it on the shelf close to the door. In other words you don't have to drag them to place them near or above your seat. Save your energy for the city tour! Your luggage is safe: cameras are keeping an eye everywhere in Moscow. Never mind casting an occasional glance on the goods.

Light refreshments are served on the Aeroexpress trains. Buy.

For Aeroexpress seat bookings and to know about the exact fare, timings and intermediate stoppages please check the official website .

1. It is easy to spot the directions to Aeroexpress terminal at airports. Just follow the signs spotted at the arrival terminals. At railway stations and at metro stations the directions for the Aeroexpress terminal may not be that conspicuous.

2. You have to press the RED button on the door to open it for alighting from the train. Tourists are likely to wait for the door to open automatically; at intermediate stations the delay may prove costly as the train will depart with you still on board!

D) Aeroexpress Express Bus

Aeroexpress express buses too are in operation from Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports. Look for the Aeroexpress logo on red buses. Tickets can be bought from the driver if you could not purchase at the counter or online or through the vending machines or as mentioned above.

The buses to Sheremetyevo Airport Terminals B and C are available from Khovrino metro station at exit no: 2. They are available every 15-30 minutes from morning to midnight (05:50 to 00:05). Route No: 1195.

At the airport you can board the bus near the exit from the Terminals B and C.

The travel time is about 20 minutes. The fare is 250 RUB.

The Aeroexpress express bus to Domodedovo Airport runs from the Domodedovskaya metro station. The travel time is about 40 minutes and the fare is 80 RUB. The frequency is 20 minutes. Route No: 1185.

At the Domodedovskaya metro station the bus is parked near exit No.10. At the airport it is stationed on the forecourt opposite Exit No.3.

The bus service on this route too is available from early morning to midnight.

E) City Bus and Marshrutka Shuttle

Regular non-express city buses and vans (marshrutka) that ply to nearest metro stations are also available outside the airports. After getting down from the bus/van, take the metro train to head to your destination in the downtown or any other part of the city.

As buses and vans are the cheapest option backpackers and those on a shoe-string budget may try them for reaching the hostel or other accommodation. Often non-tourists who have visited the city earlier take the bus to reach educational and industrial centres or even to visit friends, relatives, business contacts etc.

The bus and van fares are less than 100 RUB. Expect extra luggage fee.

Journey time on buses and shuttle vans running to and fro airports ranges from 30 min to 1 hour. Before your arrival, refer to the airport website for exact timings, cancellations, new routes and fares.

Bus journeys offer an immersive experience and familiarise you with the intracies of city life.

From Sheremetyevo Airport

Route Nos: 817 and 948 go to Planernaya metro station which is on the metro line No. 7 or Tagansko–Krasnopresnenskaya line — the busiest. The journey time is about 40 minutes. (817 is a bus and 948 a van.)

Route Nos: 851 and 949 go to Rechnoy Vokzal metro Station which is on metro line No.2 or the Zamoskvoretskaya line. (851 is a bus and 949 a van.)

Route No. Н1 has a night bus going to Kitay-gorod metro station which is on metro line Nos 6 and 7. Journey time: upto 1 hour.

This late-night service is very helpful for those landing at night at Sheremetyevo and have a hotel booking in the heart of the city, close to the Kremlin and Red Square. The frequency is every 30 minutes from 23:45 to 04:45. It is about midnight the Aeroexpress runs its last train of the day before resuming trips around the daybreak.

There are also buses to the towns of Khimki and Lobnya from morning to night from the Sheremetyevo Airport.

(Planernaya and Rechnoy Vokzal are to the north of the city and Kitay-gorod is at the centre.)

From Domodedovo Airport

Buses and shuttle buses depart from the forecourt (Exit No. 3).

Route No. 26 is to Krasny Put. Journey time: about 45 minutes.

Route No. 999 is to Ryazan, via Kolomna and Lukhovitsy. This is comparatively a long-distance route further southeast of Domodedovo. Journey time to Ryazan is 3 to 3 1/2 hours; Lukhovitsy is a little more than 2 hours and Kolomna is a little more than 1/2 hours. For these destinations the fares are from 400 to 600 RUB.

(Krasny Put is near the centre of the city, about 6 km from Red Square. Novoye Domodedovo, a modern residential estate, is just 15 km west of the airport. Vzletnaya is famous for a hotel about 10 km from the Domodedovo Airport.)

From Vnukovo Airport

Buses displaying Route Nos.611, 611c and 611ф (ф = f) go to Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station which is on line no. 1. Travel time is 40 minutes or less.

Mini-bus (Route No. 45M) is also availble from morning to night between the airport and Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station. Find it in front of the terminal A.

From Zhukovsky Airport

At Zhukovsky Airport you don't get direct transport to the heart of Moscow. Of course, taxis do go and they will drop you in about 1 hour. Opt for taxis for your Zhukovsky Airport trips either way.

The other alternative, the cheapest, is a combo of bus and metro ride or bus, train and metro rides.

Here are the options:

• The bus on Route 441 goes to Kotelniki metro station which is on metro line No. 7. Journey time is 1 hour. The metro will take you to the Moscow city centre.

• Take the shuttle bus to Otdyh suburban railway station. Journey time: 20 minutes. At Otdyh take the Sputnik express train to Kazansky Station in the centre of Moscow. Journey time: 40 minutes. Now, go to the nearby metro station, Komsomolskaya, if you want to reach the downtown or other parts of the Moscow city.

Mini bus No. 2 or No. 6 also run between the Zhukovsky Airport and the Otdyh station.

(Kotelniki and Otdyh are to the southeast of the city as is Zhukovsky Airport. )

You will never be stuck in any Moscow airport at whatever time you may arrive. Taxis are available round the clock as in any other major airport the world over. Cab drivers may accost you as soon as you exit from the terminal, but book with an authorized taxi operator at the dedicated desk. First, ensure your safety in a distant land.

As is the global practice, the taxi fare depends on the distance, time of day, and demand. To avoid the risk of over-charging book the taxi online or at the airport taxi desk, but do so only after claiming your baggage.

Taxi stands are near the Arrival halls.

The approximate fare from Sheremetyevo Airport to the city centre is 1,250 RUB, states the SVO website. The downtown ride from Domodedovo Airport will cost about 2,500 RUB, but it is about 1,500 RUB or little more if you are dropped much before (as on Nov 2022).

The fare for premier or luxury car, as to be expected, is higher. You will be charged extra for oversized baggage on taxis.

The authorised taxi operator at Sheremetyevo Airport is Yandex. At Moscow Domodedovo Airport the cab service is run by Domtrans.

Car rental too is available. Min-bus too can be hired if you are part of a large group.

NOTE: Most drivers speak only Russian. Lucky if you find one conversant in English. Use the Yandex Translate app — download it even before you take the flight to Moscow.

We wish you a nice trip.
