As one of the largest countries in Europe and one of the most important countries in the world in terms of tourism, Russia is very popular among tourists around the world. Millions of tourists travel to Russia every year to enjoy the country's leisure and tourism facilities and visit its top tourist destinations. Moscow, the capital of Russia, St. Petersburg, the country's cultural capital, and Sochi, one of the best resort cities on the Black Sea coast, are among the most important tourist destinations in the country. The tour to Russia is full of tourist attractions, places of interest, recreational and cultural programs, extraordinary natural attractions, and many tourist and recreational facilities that have been able to attract the attention of this number of tourists. The number of tourist attractions and places to visit in Russia is also most evident in the three major tourist destinations of the country, namely Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sochi. Any tourist who wants to see this number of tourist attractions and places of interest and uses these three cities' recreational and cultural programs needs to dedicate several days of their Russia tour to each of these cities. Nevertheless, the Russian capital, Moscow, is receiving the most attention from tourists among other tourist destinations.
Moscow Tour
One of the main attractions of the Moscow tour is the number of tourist attractions and places of interest in the city that tourists can visit during the tour to Russia. Many of Moscow's tourist attractions are also located in the city centre, making them more accessible for tourists to see during their sightseeing program. Red Square, Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin Mausoleum, Gum Mall, Kazan Church, Cathedral of Christ the Savior and many more tourist attractions in the heart of Moscow are among the places that no tourist should miss the opportunity to visit. Of course, we must keep in mind that in addition to these tourist attractions and places of interest in the center of Moscow, there are many places of interest around Moscow and in parts far from the city center that tourists can visit during the Moscow tour. Therefore, one of the most important things that may concern tourists on a Moscow tour is transportation in Moscow, especially if they want to visit the tourist attractions and places of interest that are not close to the center of Moscow or if they're going to wander around the city and get acquainted with the culture and architecture of Moscow. For that matter, tourists need to find a safe and economical means of transportation. One of the essential things that can help tourists in this regard and save tourists money is the public transport in Moscow, which we intend to introduce.
Moscow Metro
One of the easiest and best ways to get around in Moscow is to use the Moscow Metro. The Moscow Metro is one of the best possible ways for tourists to travel in Moscow due to the vastness of the network and its low prices per travel. Almost anywhere in the city, tourists can find metro stations and travel to different parts of the city. There are many advantages in using the Moscow Metro, each of which alone can be a sufficient reason to use this means of transportation in Moscow. First of all, you can use the metro to save time and visit more tourist attractions while visiting Moscow. Next, using public transport will significantly reduce your costs due to the cheapness of the ticket, which is also of particular importance in the Russia tour. You can even pay much less for public transportation by purchasing special tickets. Furthermore, Moscow Metro itself is introduced as one of the tourist attractions of Moscow, and tourists should not miss the opportunity to visit some of its stations. Finally, given that the Moscow Metro covers almost the entire city and its suburbs, no place in Moscow will be out of reach of tourists.

AeroExpress Trains
One of the biggest concerns of travellers during a Moscow tour is moving from the airport to the city centre. All three Moscow International Airports are located too far from the city center, which is a cause for concern for tourists. Although most Moscow hotels offer airport shuttle service to their guests, some tourists are looking for different ways to travel to the city centre and vice versa to have more options. One of the best, easiest, and fastest ways to get to the city centre from Moscow International Airports is by using a high-speed train (AeroExpress), which takes passengers from the airport to the heart of Moscow in less than 40 minutes. These high-speed trains are the most popular means of public transportation from Moscow international airports on tour to Russia.

Bus, Trolley, Tram, and Marshrutka
Another method of transportation in Moscow on tour to Russia is to use public transport on the ground. Moscow is a big, crowded and bustling city with millions of people coming and going throughout the day. Therefore, having a proper public transportation system in this city is one of its most essential needs. In addition to the Moscow metro, which carries millions of passengers a day, public transportation on the ground is also of particular importance. Trolleys, buses, trams, and Marshrutka are some of the most popular means of transportation in Moscow that tourists can use to get around the city. Tourists who are looking to find bus stations can find them with their yellow "A" sign plates around the city; the same goes for trolley stations with white "T" signs and Trams with white "Tp" signs. Marshrutka vans also operate in the trolley and tram routes, which are also common ways of moving around the city in Moscow. Of course, unlike the Moscow metro, where you can find English-language signs at every station, some stations on the ground do not have English information signs, and using them requires familiarity with the Russian language or the use of mobile public transport software in Moscow.
Taxis
Another standard mode of transport in Moscow is the use of Moscow taxis. Although the cost of using Moscow taxis will be much lower than other major tourist cities globally, the cost of using a Moscow taxi will still be much higher than using other means of public transport in Moscow, such as the metro and buses. That is why we at Star Travel Group recommend tourists to use the Moscow metro if possible and use Moscow taxis only when necessary. Of course, to use Moscow taxis, you should pay attention to some essential tips and advice, such as agreeing on the cost, determining the final destination and using well-known taxi companies in Moscow. By visiting our blog, you can find more details about the tips and pieces of advice about how to travel to Russia.
