How do I get to the hotel from Vnukovo Airport?

The Izmailovo Gamma is a little less than 45 km from Vnukovo Airport, located to the south-west of Moscow. Taxi or prearranged transfer is undoubtedly the most comfortable way to reach the hotel, although the Aeroexpress rail link followed by a short metro ride is also very convenient if you are not travelling with heavy baggage.

By taxi
The drive to the Izmailovo Gamma Hotel from Vnukovo will take 50-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Official airport taxis should cost around $60, but if you prefer you can order a transfer with a driver to meet your flight here.

By train
The Aeroexpress rail link will take you from Vnukovo Airport to Kiev Railway Station in central Moscow. Trains run on the hour from 6am to 12am daily, and adult single tickets cost roughly $11, with child tickets, family tickets and first-class tickets also available. It is then a direct journey on the metro from Kievskaya Metro Station eight stops east on the dark-blue line to Partizanskaya Metro Station, which is under five minutes' walk from the Izmailovo Gamma Hotel.

By bus
There are also bus services running from opposite Terminal D (domestic flights) at Vnukovo to Yugo-Zapadnaya Metro Station, at the southern end of the red metro line. Regular buses (611 and 611c) run from 5.30am to 12.50am daily every 10-15 minutes and take under 25 minutes to reach the metro. Tickets cost $3-4. There are also faster and slightly more expensive marshrutka minibus shuttles (611b and 45) running from 7am to 11pm. Then, from Yugo Zapadnaya, travel north on the red line nine stops to Okhotny Ryad, change to the dark-blue line, and continue east five stops to Partizanskaya Metro Station, which is around three minutes' walk from the Izmailovo Gamma Hotel.
