I am going to St Petersburg via Moscow and have 2 hours to change terminals afer arriving at terminal 2 and departing from terminal1 on Aeroflot around 14.15 hrs. Will the time be sufficient. Do foreigners again have to go through immigration at terminal 1 . Any special care to be taken for faster transit please suggest.
Hi,
it's about 6 km between each other. You can use transfer bus, time of trip 15- 20 minutes, cost 80 rubles (2 euro).
The stop near Train Station in Terminal 2. Or you can use a taxi.
You'll need to be a little hurry if you have 2 hours between landing and departure. Sheremetyevo 2 is not the best airport for passport control and customs procedures, sometime it could take an hour to go through.
For the flight to St.Petersbourg you can go without any immigration procedure.
Good luck !
It's a timetable of transfer bus for you:

Also you can use "marshrutka" (it's like a taxi-transfer bus) with numbers 48, 49 and 200M. They can operate often then transfer bus.The stop near arrival terminal Sheremetyevo 2.
Good luck !
Hi!
First: inform steward on your first flight that you have one more Aeroflot flight from Sheremet'evo 1, they advice you how to do transfer quikly.
You have to go through immigration control only one time in terminal 2 after arriving, in terminal 1 you have to go through security control.
Take the Sheremet'evo bus or city bus # 817; see details:

Or taxi ;)
yes, agree above. if you come with Aeroflot, then you may be transferred by Aeroflot bus between terminals (as far as i know). at the same time, 2 hours for foreigner is too short time (to be true) to change SVO2 for SVO1. good luck!
I am also a foreigner, but I have three hours between flights. I am also changin plane in Moscow for st. Peter.
On return, I have 2 hours to change flight, but i won't be needding passport control since im landin from st. peter in moscow, and then i have 2 hours to change terminals and to go to zagreb.
so, 3 hours is enough for foreigners to make passport control and change terminals, and 2 hours for the same procedure but without passport control??
Hi,
3 hours quite enough for the changing terminals without any rush, but you can't feel you absolutly free (keep the time in mind).
About your's flight to Zagreb, don't forget that you need to pass passport control in Sheremetyevo 2 anyway, so having 2 hours between flights you must be very quick.
Good luck !
Meet the real people, the men and women who are doctors or engineers and who have a middle monthly salary of 200 usd and wonder everyday how they can survive... Having been 5 times in Moscow, my best souvenir is to have shared a christmas dinner with a rich family and a new year dinner with a poor family...just wonder when will come up a real middel class in russia.
An interesting street of moscow is Prechistenka Ulitsa from the underground stop Kroportkinskaya as, in this street there are some very nice classic residences.
Here you can also find the Puschkin(civic number 12 ticket 25 rubles) museum dedicated to the life and the poetries of the artist and it’s opened every day but thirsday since 14 to19.
I went to this street actually to visit Tolstoj museum which is at number 11 and, for my luck it was closed as it’s normally closed on monday but also the last friday of the month, thing that lonely planet writer didn’t obviously know.
The Arsenal's building has a long history. The construction began in 1702 on the initiative of Peter I according to the plan of his own.
The Arsenal was to be used not only like an armoury and ammunition storehouse but also like a museum-depository of captures and ancient weapons. The largest Moscow building of Peter the Great's epoch was placed in the northern corner of the Kremlin's territory, between the Troitskaya (Trinity) and Nikolskaya Towers, free after the 1701 fire. In spite of long construction, the original building's composition has survived. The trapeze-shaped low edifice with a sizable inner yard and two arched passageways is made of brick. The architecture of the two-story fasades gives an impression of solid durability.
If you dont speak any Russian like me you will find it very difficult to communicate with people unless you are staying in a hotel that has English speaking people, fortunatly I had my friends who speak Russian but other than that it is very difficult to understand anythign as the language has a completely different alphabet.
I advise that you get hold of a loney planet guide and jot down the phrases that they suggest to you. All I can say is da - yes, necht - no and thank you - spa see ba - thank you !
Just read a FT article on Moscow.
An average Muscovite would feel thoroughly looked down at, like a curious bacterium in the microscope.
For my part, after reading piles of such accounts, I am getting relatively immune. The writer must have been trying to be extremely gracious. What is real and where to look for it - if it's not a Communist meeting, than it's an Orthodox sermon; makes any Muscovite laugh.
Could have been worse, though. Some practical information may come in handy.
