To get the "Sheremetyevo" airport to downtown Moscow, say to Red Square (where is the Kremlin), whose range is approximately 33 km away, and in the case of staying around the square, as I did in the times I've visited Moscow, you can take the Aeroexpress train, whose access is located on the third floor, terminal E, inside the airport.

This train is available in the 3 international airports in Moscow. Every half hour a train and travel time is approximately 35 minutes, also it has wifi in the same.

The train station connects to the Belorrusskaya (Belorrusky English), where from there you can move to the place you want by subway, or if you prefer to take a taxi and / or Uber to get to the exact location.

The cost of the train is RUB 500, which also has the option to include a leg in the subway (or tram) to travel to their place of accommodation, and which costs RUB 560. Additional if the ticket is bought online, You can get cheaper (aprox RUB 420).

Recommendation for first time, arriving in daytime, take the train and subway; purchase a SIM CARD elsewhere than the airport, as it can go at least twice what's in the center. I bought in the same Red Square at a good price, which may be between RUB 300 Y 400, perfect for 2 O 3 weeks.

Back, you can take the same transport, or to comfort the Uber, or some other option.
