Novosibirsk is a large Russian city, the capital of the Siberian Federal District. However, it is several thousand kilometers away from the real capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow.
The total length of the distance between Novosibirsk and the capital of the Russian Federation - Moscow is about 3 thousand kilometers.
Distance in a straight line
The direct distance between Novosibirsk and Moscow, measured as the shortest route from one point to another, is 2,810 kilometers. However, it must be taken into account that such a path of movement between the cities under consideration is impossible when traveling by land, since the features of the relief, the laying of the roadway and other factors necessitate a more complex trajectory.
However, when moving by air, these factors lose their influence. For example, aircraft flying from Novosibirsk to Moscow and back will follow approximately the same trajectory. At the same time, depending on weather conditions, the type of aircraft and other circumstances, the travel time for air travel can be approximately 4 to 5 hours.
Ground distance
When traveling on the ground, the distance you have to travel will be noticeably longer. At the same time, it, in turn, will depend on the chosen road, since there are several options for such a trip.
So, the most convenient road, assuming the shortest distance between cities in Russia, is a trip along the M51 highway in the direction of Omsk. Then, already in the region of the Kurgan region, you should turn onto the P402 highway, and then again go to the M51 highway. After that, you will need to drive along the M5 highway and the Volga highway - the M7 highway. The total length of this route will be 3414 kilometers.
It is possible to reduce the length of such a path by more than 150 kilometers, but it should be borne in mind that it is fraught with additional difficulties. We are talking about driving a part of the road through the territory of Kazakhstan in the Petropavlovsk region. Making such a decision, you need to understand that in this case you will have to cross the border twice - entering and leaving Kazakhstan, therefore, you will hardly be able to save time on such a route. In addition, in such a situation, you will have to incur additional costs, for example, related to insurance of a vehicle for the period of movement through the territory of Kazakhstan.
However, in fairness, it should be admitted that in this case the length of the path between the cities will be 3254 kilometers. This way, by the way, is the railway transport from Novosibirsk to Moscow.
