Instructions
Step 1
Railway transport.
The fastest and most comfortable way to get to Nizhny Novgorod is by high-speed trains "Lastochka" or "Strizh". Travel time will be 3 hours 35 minutes - 3 hours 47 minutes. Tickets should be purchased in advance; closer to the departure date, tickets will rise in price. The ticket price depends on the number and type of carriage and varies from 588 rubles. up to RUB 4903 (Prices are subject to change depending on the season).
The fare on the "Swallow" train is lower than on the "Strizh" train.
High-speed trains depart from Moscow from the Kursk railway station (Kurskaya metro station, Kurskaya railway station) to Nizhny Novgorod quite often.
You can get there by long-distance train, which departs from St. Petersburg and follows to Nizhny Novgorod or Chelyabinsk. Trains stop at the Moscow Kurskaya station. The only plus is that trains leave Moscow late in the evening and at night, travel time is 5 hours 20 minutes. They arrive in Nizhny Novgorod early in the morning. Ticket prices from 551 rubles. up to 3470 rubles. (Prices are subject to change depending on the season).
It is better to get from the station to the city center by metro. Not far from the train arrival station is the Moskovskaya metro station. The prices for the services of taxi drivers who are on duty at the exit from the station are greatly inflated; it is difficult to find a stop for ground public transport.
Step 2
Bus.
Buses leave from stops at the metro stations "Schelkovskaya", "Domodedovskaya", "Ploschad Ilyicha", and the stop "TK Chocolate" (Reutov, 2nd km. MKAD, 2). Ticket prices from 800 rubles. up to RUB 1,500 They are more expensive than high-speed train tickets. For example, the price of a ticket for the "Swallow" train is 734 rubles. Buses arrive at McDonald's and Shcherbinki bus stations or at Minin and Pozharsky square. Travel time from 6 to 8 hours.
