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

The Bolshoi Theatre is around 12km by road from the Maxima Irbis Hotel. Taxi is undoubtedly the most comfortable way to reach the theatre, particularly if you are dressed for an evening out. However, due to Moscow's heavy evening traffic, you should allow at least 40 minutes for the journey, and you may prefer to take the metro from Vladykino (about 500m from the hotel) and travel south on the gray line seven stops to Chekhovskaya. Change there to the dark-green line and continue south one stop to Teatralnaya, which can be exited right next to the Bolshoi Theatre.
