How to get to the city
By plane. The fastest and most convenient way to get to Sochi is by plane. The airport is named after the resort, but is located in Adler – 30 km from the center of Sochi. The flight from Moscow will take 2-3 hours, from St. Petersburg – 3.5 hours.
From the airport to the city center you can get by bus or train from Adler station.
By train. It takes quite a long time to travel by train from Moscow – more than a day, from St. Petersburg – 2 times longer, therefore, this type of transport is suitable for residents of closer regions.
