Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026
Temperature: Approx. -6 C to +1 C for late November in Moscow: daytime highs usually hover a few degrees either side of freezing, with colder nights. Treat as a climatological planning band and check the forecast for the show week before packing.
Seasonality: Late November is the tail of Moscow autumn sliding into winter: long overcast spells, frequent light rain turning to sleet or snow, short daylight hours (roughly 7-8 hours) and a real chance of snow lying on the ground. Pavements around Tishinskaya Ploshchad can be icy, so pack waterproof boots with grip, a warm coat and gloves, and allow extra walking time between hotel and halls.
Packing: Pack for cold late-autumn Moscow weather: insulated coat, layers, gloves, hat and waterproof footwear; carry an indoor layer for heated exhibition halls.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Arsenal. Fall 2026 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-1
Confirm current Russian entry rules for your nationality (visa or e-visa eligibility, passport validity, migration card) and carry printed hotel booking plus the show invitation if the organiser issues one.
T-2
Check whether Arsenal Expo visitor registration is open on the organiser site (arsenalexpo.ru) and save the confirmation to your phone as well as on paper.
T-3
Book a hotel in the Tishinka / Mayakovskaya or Belorusskaya precinct so the fairground on Tishinskaya Ploshchad is reachable on foot or by one short metro hop.
T-4
Map your route from the hotel to Tishinka Trade and Exhibition Complex and note the nearest metro station exits, since entrances around the complex are easy to miss.
T-5
Review the exhibitor list in advance and shortlist knife makers, sharpening equipment suppliers, hunting and outdoor gear brands, and cutlery distributors you want to visit first.
T-6
Check the customs and carry rules that apply to any knives or edged samples you plan to bring in or buy, and keep purchase receipts for the return journey.
T-7
Pack for late November in Moscow: insulated coat, warm boots with grip, gloves and a scarf for the walk between hotel and halls.
T-8
Plan the airport leg in advance: Aeroexpress rail from Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo or Vnukovo into central Moscow, then metro or taxi to the Tishinka district.
T-9
Draw some ruble cash for small purchases and hall catering, and tell your bank you will be using cards in Russia so payments are not blocked.
T-10
Arrange mobile data (roaming plan or local SIM) and install a local maps and ride-hailing app before departure.
T-11
Check the local forecast 3-5 days before travel and add buffer time for icy pavements and slower traffic on weekday mornings.
T-12
Note the show opening hours and quiet periods you want for hands-on product inspection, and leave a slot for comparing blade steels and handle materials across stands.
