✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO) opened in 1959 and is located about 30 km northwest of central Moscow, near Khimki. It is Russia's busiest airport and the main hub for Aeroflot, with terminals B, C, D, E, and F serving domestic and international traffic. Its Aeroexpress rail link and interterminal train make it a key gateway to Moscow.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know that Terminal B/C and D/E/F are separate clusters: if you have a connection between them, follow the 'Transfer' signs and use the airside interterminal train instead of exiting to the landside shuttle, which saves a security re-check.
🚖 Getting There
The fastest reliable option is Aeroexpress from Belorussky Station; trains depart every 30 minutes and take 35–50 minutes. Bus 851/949 is cheaper but slower and can be crowded with luggage. Taxis should be booked via app or an official desk to avoid overcharging.
