How do I get from the hotel to the Bolshoi Theater?

While it is undoubtedly more comfortable to take a taxi to the Bolshoi Theater, especially if dressed up for an evening out, guests should be wary of Moscow's heavy evening traffic, and may find it safer to take the metro. From VDNKh, 300m from the Derzhavnaya, travel south five stops on the orange line to Turgenevskaya. Change there to the red line, and continue your journey four stops east to Okhotny Ryad. It is then less than five minutes on foot to the Bolshoi.
