You are a skydiver and you decided to go Aerograd DZ in Russia this year. Well, there are two ways to go there.

 

You can take a taxi from airport and pay around 100-120 dollars after hard bargain with a sour-face taxi driver. After "fast and furious" 1 - 1.5 hours riding you can reach the Kolomna. He would know the Kolomna but not be heard of Aerograd. So you would try to tell "skydiver", "parachute" by body language amusing his boring day. He will ask for extra money for this 15 minutes distance, bargain again. If you are a big group who shares taxi or conformist to buy your way by money, taxi is easy option. You don't need this web site.

 

If you are alone, you can choose railway transport to there. This is safe, low budget, guaranty and fun way. You will blend the people, enjoy the culture, listen to the folk singers. And this web site's main purpose is sharing this experience.

 

First of all you need to exchange rubles around 20 dollars for one way. Exchange 50 for round trip. Also in Aerograd DZ and hotel there is no exchange possibility. (You can use your credit card in Aerograd) It is better to have rubles for shopping or some extras. The lowest exchange rates are in airports, banks in Kolomna offers better rates.

 

You need know this, in Russian the train is poezd (поезд) and the train station is vokzal (вокза́л)

 

There are railway connects to the Metro from every airport called Aeroexpress [Aэроэкспресс].

 

1- From airport, you need to take Aeroexpress to the Metro. The price is 500 ruble (around 7.5 - 8 dollars). Takes 30 minutes.

 

2- You need go to Komsomolskaya [Комсомо́льская] metro station for Kolomna trains. There are 3 train stations here. You will need to get in Kazansky Train Station  [Каза́нский вокза́л] for Kolomna [Коломна]. (5 contour Metro ticket is enough, it is around 2 dollars) Takes 10-15 minutes.

 

3- You need to take train from Kazansky Train Station  [Каза́нский вокза́л] to Kolomna [Коломна]. Suburban trains 220 rubles, takes 1 hour 55 minutes. Express trains 300 rubles (around 4.5 dollars) takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. There is timetable schedules in stations or simply buy first train to Kolomna or Golutvin [Голутвин] (Golutvin is second stop after Kolomna and closer to the DZ.

 

4- Take a taxi from Kolomna / Galutvin to the Aerograd. It is 350 rubles (around 5.5 dollars) (Takes 15 minutes)
