Book your bmi flights to Moscow now
Think of Moscow and a vision of snow and furry hats will permeate your thoughts. As one of our most popular destinations, we know that Moscow is so much more than that so let's take a look at what else this fascinating city has to offer.
Moscow is capital city of Russia as well as the architectural, financial, political and scientific hub of this ancient yet modern city and is also home to the largest number of billionaires anywhere in the world.
Domodedovo Airport is easy to access via the reliable Aeroexpress train which takes you straight to Paveletsky Station in the centre of town. For only 250 rubles, you'll be in Moscow in just 50 minutes. Taxis are a more expensive option and cost around 400R (around £40). Buses cost 80 rubles and under 7's are free. Buy your ticket in the passenger terminal before you board.
For business accommodation look no further than the decadent 4* Swissotel Krasnye Holmy, one of the city's tallest buildings. Situated in the old town, and with sizable rooms, it's the perfect base for conducting your affairs. Ever considered Moscow as the perfect setting for a romantic escape? Choose from the heavenly Hotel Baltschug Kempinski (directly opposite the Kremlin) or the sophisticated suites of the Golden Apple Boutique, close to the centre of the bustling Moscow nightlife.
Of course, a visit to the Kremlin and Red Square is a must. Once an execution site, Red Square is a beautiful yet eerie space that's steeped in history. Put aside a full day to take a ride to the Tretyakov Gallery and Sculpture park. This gallery of twentieth century Russian art is mind-blowing; the vast collection containing works by Wassily Kandinsky and Mark Chagall.
You must sample some traditional Russian fare during your stay. Book a table at the famous Cafe Pushkin in for a truly romantic experience. Try the Pojarski (Veal Rissole) followed by the wonderfully presented Kartoshka (chocolate truffle). It's a dining experience you'll never forget.
For a memorable trip to the largest metropolitan area in Europe, and one of the biggest urban areas in the world, fly bmi. If you book for December just remember to pack your thermals.
