Cheap way to reach Aerograd DZ in Russia

Recommended Posts

Aerograd DZ is 100 miles away from Moscow. Taking a taxi from airport is an option if you are a 3-4 people sharing the fee. Otherwise railway transport from airport to DZ is safe and cheap choice.

I made a web site to share my experience to use railway transport to Aerograd DZ in Kolomna / Russia.

Closest Train station to Aerograd is Galutvin (not Kolomna). It's the next stop from Kolomna and there are taxis, ATMs, McDonalds, the bus station (see below), a mall etc.

Train tickets can be bought in advance on-line http://pass.rzd.ru/main-pass/public/en. Timetable allow people to select the fast trains (pre-bookable, seat allocated etc.). Admission to the train by e-ticket / passport. It takes a couple of hours for the system to be updated so best buy the day before.

Also, buses are an option from Vykhino metro (purple line, towards the end of the line at the bottom) BUT the buses will get stuck in the traffic and 4-5 hours to travel the 100km or so to Galutvin is not uncommon in the summer at peak hours.

Taxis are for the brave - some foreigners do get ripped off significantly.

Also, it's worth contacting Aerograd for their advice on travel from Moscow. Staff speak English and are helpful.

My preference is the fast train from Kazanskiy.

Hey Atila!

As I saw in their website, Aerograd DZ also offers transportation.

Sure it will be more expensive but it's the most comfortable and fast way to reach the DZ.

Both arrival and departure transfer costs around $110.

Transport by car can be comfortable but if it coincides with the traffic leaving Moscow (Friday afternoon / evening) may be very slow (5 hours to travel 120km is not unusual during the rush period). Travelling back on Sunday / Monday morning can also be slow.
