How do I get to the hotel from Vnukovo Airport?

Moscow's third airport, Vnukovo is situated to the south-west of the city, a little under 50km from the Golden Apple Boutique Hotel. As with all Moscow airports, the Aeroexpress rail link now provides the fastest and most reliable way to reach the city centre, although many guests will still prefer the comfort of a taxi or airport transfer.

By taxi
Official taxis from Vnukovo to the city center cost around $60, and the drive to the Golden Apple takes around 90 minutes. If you prefer to have a driver meet your flight, you can book an airport transfer here.

By train
Aeroexpress trains run from Vnukovo Airport to Kiev Railway Station in central Moscow. The service runs every hour on the hour from 6am to 12am daily, and the journey takes 30-40 minutes. Tickets cost a little over $10, with discounts for young children and families. From Kievskaya Metro Station, travel clockwise one stop on the brown circle line to Barrikadnaya, change there for the purple line, and continue your journey one stop east to Pushkinskaya, which is around 200m from the Golden Apple Hotel.

By bus
There are also bus services running from Vnukovo to Yugo Zapadnaya Metro Station in the south-west of Moscow. Regular buses (611 and 611c) run from 5.30am to 12.50am daily at 10-15 minute intervals and the journey takes just under 25 minutes. Tickets cost $3-4.

Change there for the dark-green line and continue north one stop to Tverskaya, which is around 200m from the Golden Apple Boutique Hotel.
