Vnukovo International airport (IATA code VKO) is the oldest one in Moscow. It is situated 28 km westwards from the centre of Moscow, so it is the nearest one to the city, moreover, it it very easy to get. Three highways, Aeroexpress high-speed train, buses and shuttles are at your service. Vnukovo is ACI (Airports council international) Europe member and it is inclined to become a leading Moscow's hub and transit centre between Europe and Asia.

Transfer

You can book a transfer from Vnukovo airport in advance, the driver will meet you and take you to your destination, with no troubles. 

If you get to the airport by car by yourself, you can take Kievskoye, Borovskoye or Minskoye highway. I would recommend Kiewskoye, it has been recently reconstructed and has very high traffic capacity. The airport is situated in 11 km from Moscow Ring Road.

Aeroexpress high-speed train is a good choice if you set off from the city centre. You go to the Kievsky Railway Terminal (any metro station called Kievskaya) and buy a ticket.
