Kurumoch Airport

    • Kurumoch Airport is the city airport, which has international flights by the way. Flights to Moscow are every two hours. I saw Aeroflot and local company Samara do flights but maybe some other flights exist too (I heard UTair does it as well). I go to Samara by plane, ticket is RUR 570-6500 (EUR 165-190 around) to and back. The airport is in 50 kilometers from the city around and it seems the best way to get it is taxi (RUR 1000, EUR 30). Another option is to get bus to the southern part of the city (RUR 9, EUR 0.25) and then to change the bus that goes to the railway station, the central part of the city

    Samara has very modern railway station. Even Moscow hasn’t such modern buildings as a station. Unfortunately I was near of railway station once, in night when I was back with my friends after beer restaurant and therefore the quality of the photo is not good :-)). Trains to Moscow go in afternoon and in early morning of the next day you arrive to the Russian capital.

    Samara has a great public transport system. There are tram tracks all over the city and suburbs and a good bus system too. These are both, however, very crowded especially on major routes. They cost 3 Roubles to wherever you want to go.

    There aren't many official taxis in Samara so if you want to go anywhere it is very common to hail any car going in the direction you want to go and negotiating a price for your destination. This is quite safe and a trip will cost anything from 10-50 Roubles around Samara.

    I came to Samara by train from Moscow. The train was overnight and left from the KAZAN Station in Moscow. There are several trains a day to and from Moscow and Samara.
    It is also possible to fly into Samara. Lufthansa provided flights between Frankfurt and Samara. Aeroflot has flights daily between Samara and many other Russian cities although Samara Airlines provides the cheapest flights.

    Better look twice who is driving the bus, because it happened several times that our bus driver was drunken (not just decently). There are few signs when you should be alert. If there is a loud music in the bus and when the bus slows down instead of stopping on the bus stops. Or the best would be to let the bus driver to blow the balloon.

    It was the most horrible travelling by train ever from Lepzig (Germany) to Samara. We were using a Russian train where you could not open the windows. Imagine, during those hot summer days the heating was constantly on ! They said it was broken, but I think it is still broken in that train. (I got some experience working with Russian people..) Maybe this train was the reason why we wanted to stay and live in Samara for ever ? :o)
