Moscow has a reputation of being one of the most expensive cities in the world. Accounts of $12 coffees and $1,000 hotel rooms abound. And while such price tags may well be true, especially for the uninitiated tourist, it is possible to visit and not spend a fortune, and believe it or not, it can even be done on $100 a day.
Airport Transfer
Moscow has three international airports – Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo – each located outside the city in a different direction. The one thing they all have in common, though, is the Airport Express rail service. For just 320 rubles (about $9.90) you can cruise non-stop into the very centre of Moscow, arriving at major train stations with excellent onward public transport connections.

= $90.10
Other budget options: Small shuttle buses depart more or less regularly from the airports’ parking areas and usually run to the nearest metro station for a reasonable fare.
