How do I get to the hotel from Sheremetyevo Airport?

It is a little less than 30km from Sheremetyevo Airport, situated to the north-east of downtown Moscow, to the Maxima Irbis hotel. The most comfortable way to reach the hotel is undoubtedly by taxi or pre-booked transfer.

By taxi
It should take about 45 minutes to reach the hotel in clear traffic. Official airport taxis currently cost around $60, or if you prefer you can book an airport transfer to meet your flight here.

By train
Aeroexpress trains will take you from the station at Sheremetyevo (behind Terminals D, E and F, with a free bus connection from Terminal B) to Belarus Rail Station. The service operates daily every 30 minutes from 5am to 12.30am, with a journey time of around 35 minutes. Standard adult tickets cost roughly $11. From Belorusskaya Metro Station take the brown circle line one stop clockwise to Novoslobodskaya, change to the grey line and continue north five stops to Vladykino Metro Station. The Maxima Irbis Hotel is around 500m from the metro.

By bus
There are also buses running from all terminals at the airport to Rechnoy Vokzal Metro Station in the far north of Moscow. Regular buses run from 5.35am to 12.49am, take around 30 minutes to reach the metro, and cost around $1. Be sure to use the 851E service (as opposed to simply 851), to avoid a long journey with several suburban stops. There is also a marshrutka minibus shuttle that runs the same route from 6.45am and 9.45pm, is slightly quicker, and costs a little over $2.

From Rechnoy Vokzal, head south eight stops on the dark-green line to Tverskaya, change to the grey line and travel north seven stops to Vladkino Station, from where it is a ten-minute walk to the hotel.
