DIRECTIONS TO HOTEL

Directions to the Lesnaya Hotel
We do not recommend taking a taxi from the airport. (A) They are extremely expensive. A taxi can run USD $100 or more to get to the hotel. (B) You need to be vary wary with taxi drivers in Russia.

As an alternative, the AeroExpress takes you within walking distance of the hotel. Their Metro system is as efficient as New York or the London Tube. (Station Names are written in English as well as Cyrillic Characters). Below are directions from Sheremetevo Airport to the AeroExpress train and then the hotel. It is a much less expensive travel option:
