Depending on how you reach Moscow, you will need a different approach to getting through the city. There are five major rings of development counting from the center that includes most of the sights and going to the peripheral areas where you are most likely to land if you arrive at Moscow by plane; all the five airports of the city are located at a considerable distance from the center – somewhere around 20 miles. You've got two choices here: you can either turn to one of the “airport-city transfer” companies that will wait for you at the terminal and drive you to the hotel; or you can take things on your own and use public transportation or cab services. The former variant requires pre-booking of the service and it is considerably more expensive, whereas the other is less costly but more challenging.

Tverskaya Avenue is the main street of Moscow, it has the Kremlin at one of its ends, whereas the other continues in the Leningradskoy Shosse as part of the most direct route to St. Petersburg. The rings that we have already mentioned are characteristic for the radial structure of the city, but there is one more thing you should know when you are trying to find a certain building on a street: house numbering starts from the center with the odd numbers on the left side of the street and the even numbers on the right. Thus, Tverskaya 1 is none other than the Kremlin building located at the very heart of the Russian capital.
