When you arrive: how to get from Moscow airports to the hotel at Moscow State University

1. When you arrive at Domodedovo Airport (DME) or Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO): Do not count on a taxi (there is still no official taxi, and you are strongly advised against private cars). The best is to go to town by AEROXPRESS TRAIN, which is much faster, cheaper, and safer. Keep in mind that the roads are often jammed. The train goes every half an hour. Instead of buying a "standard" one-way ticket (320 RUB), get "Plus Metro": one-way Aeroexpress ticket + 1 subway trip (350 RUB). At the AEROEXPRESS ticket booth, you can pay for this ticket with cash or a credit card.
2. The non-stop trip takes about 45 minutes. Along the way, remove the baggage ID cards from your lagguage; now you look like a common person.
3. Once in Moscow, follow the signs to a metro station ("Paveletskaya" on the green line if arriving from Domodedovo, "Beloruskaya" on the green line if arriving from Sheremetyevo). Each of these stations is at the intersection of the green line and brown (loop) line.
4. If you have not bought "Plus Metro" card, you can buy a subway fare at the ticket booth. A card for 10 rides costs 265RUB (7EURO). You can get roubles from a cash machine near the ticket booth at nearly every metro station.

5. Once on the green line, take a train to "Teatralnaya" station, which is in the center of the city.
6. On "Teatralnaya" station, take a transfer to the red line ("Okhotny Ryad" station). The stairs are located in the middle of the platform and then there is a long walk to "Okhotny Ryad". If you have much lagguage, it is more convenient to take the exit escalator at the northern end of the platform (direction BOLSHOY THEATER), there is a much shorter walk, and then -- on your left -- a downwards escalator to "Okhotny Ryad" (the red line).
7. Once on the red line ("Okhotny Ryad"), go to "Universitet" station (south-west from the center). The trip is about 18 minutes.
8. When you arrive at the "Universitet" metro station, take the exit escalator at the end of the platform which is at the rear of your train; it will be to your left when you exit the train. (Avoid the exit in the middle of the platform.)
9. Now you can walk from the metro station "Universitet" to Moscow State University, which will be seen in the northern direction.

10. When you reach the university (in 15-20 minutes), go to "ZONE B" checkpoint at the south-eastern side of the university. There, present your passport and say that you are on the list of conference participants. (There may be our representative on duty who would help you.) Enter the building, and go to the office of hostels. Before 8AM, go to Room 1; after 8AM, go to Room 5. Here is a map of Zone B.
11. Alternatively, you can go one stop by a bus or trolley. The driver will sell you a ticket for some 25-30 roubles. Here are the maps where you take the bus and where you exit the bus. Frequent visitors to the university know better and walk.
