It takes around an hour at least to reach the Golden Ring Hotel from any of Moscow's three major airports, whether you choose to use public transport or travel by taxi or transfer. Due to the notorious traffic congestion in Moscow, public transport is often the safer better, especially as the Golden Ring is very close to the nearest metro station. Guests flying in to Vnukovo Airport will find the Aeroexpress rail link particularly convenient as it runs to Kiev Station, only 500 m from the hotel. Other mainline railway stations are all within 20 minutes' drive of the Golden Ring.
