Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Aeroexpress train (SVO to Belorussky Rail Terminal)
Fastest rail option from SVO and largely immune to road traffic; buy at the station or online and keep the ticket for the metro connection.
Aeroexpress train (DME to Paveletsky Rail Terminal)
Useful alternative when SVO routings are scarce; the rail leg runs on a fixed schedule, so check the last departure against your arrival time.
Moscow Metro
The metro is the reliable option on show mornings when roads are congested or snowy. Route planners on transport.mos.ru give live station pairs and travel times.
City bus or trolleybus
Useful for the final short leg where the metro station is not close to the venue; validate on boarding.
Taxi or ride-hail (SVO to central Moscow)
Fixed airport taxi ranks and app-based services both operate; the 40-70 minute road trip can stretch in peak hours, so allow buffer before a first meeting.
Ride-hail within the city centre
Mapped car trips from central hotels to the venue were about 15-36 minutes; surge pricing is common at opening and closing times.
Car parking near the venue
Loft Hall is in the central city where paid street and garage parking is the norm rather than large free fairground lots; check whether the venue reserves spaces for exhibitors.

Weather
Mid-February is deep winter in Moscow. Typical show-window conditions are daytime highs around -9 to -4 C and overnight lows near -12 to -7 C, with snow cover, compacted ice on pavements and a wind-chill effect on exposed streets. Snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles can slow road traffic, so allow extra time for airport transfers on 16-17 February 2027. Open-Meteo air-quality data for the city showed US AQI around 122 and PM2.5 about 46.6 micrograms per cubic metre (moderate) on the reference date, so sensitive travellers should check local advisories before departure. Confirm the actual forecast in the final week.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Moscow has wide LTE coverage from MTS, MegaFon, Beeline and T2, and 5G deployment remains limited, so plan for LTE speeds rather than 5G. Foreign visitors generally need to buy a local SIM with a passport, and registration requirements for foreign SIMs have changed repeatedly, so confirm the current rules with the operator or your hotel. International roaming and travel eSIMs work but can be expensive; venue Wi-Fi is normally available for email and messaging, with wired or dedicated connectivity usually ordered in advance for exhibitor stands. Business travellers should carry an alternative messaging channel and offline copies of key contacts.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Arrival timing
Arrive a day before the 16 February 2027 opening so winter delays and airport transfers do not affect your first meeting slot, and keep a printed copy of the hotel booking for check-in.
Cash and cards
The currency is the Russian rouble (RUB). Foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard cards are generally not accepted in Russia, so plan cash withdrawals or an accepted alternative before departure and confirm the position with your bank.
Language on site
Russian is the working language of the show floor and the programme. Bring Russian-language product summaries where possible and check in advance whether the specific session or stand you are visiting has English-speaking staff.
Metro and payment
Moscow Metro accepts Troika cards and contactless bank cards at the gates for around RUB 60-75 per journey; keep a working card ready rather than buying paper tickets for each ride.
Winter venue access
Loft Hall #2, 3 sits in the central city; allow extra time for traffic and wear footwear suited to snow and ice on the walk from transport stops, then change into lighter indoor layers at the venue.
Business etiquette
Handshakes, business cards and punctuality are the norm in Russian broadcast and telecom procurement meetings. Titles and company names are taken seriously, so bring material that matches the entity you are meeting.
Tipping
Restaurant bills commonly round up by around 10 percent; tipping is not obligatory but is appreciated. Keep small rouble notes for cloakrooms and porters.
Documents on the street
Carry your passport, visa and migration card with you; document checks can happen and originals are expected rather than photocopies. Store scans separately in case of loss.
Registration
Confirm registration and venue access with the organiser at en.cstb.ru before travelling to Moscow, and check whether your badge is collected on site or issued in advance.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: SVO
Route choice into Moscow is narrow from many markets: direct flights from the EU, UK and US are limited, so most itineraries connect via Istanbul, Dubai, Doha, Belgrade or Yerevan and run 15-25 hours door to door. Sample February 2027 round-trip fares captured for JFK to SVO started at RUB 116,959 with Qatar Airways and JetBlue via Doha, and RUB 126,128 with Royal Air Maroc via Casablanca for one adult, so recheck closer to the show. Build in at least three hours for self-transfer connections, confirm baggage allowances across carriers, and align the ticket with your visa issue date before paying.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO): Approx. 40-70 minutes by road to central Moscow depending on traffic; Domodedovo International Airport (DME): Approx. 50-80 minutes by road to central Moscow depending on traffic; Vnukovo International Airport (VKO): Approx. 40-70 minutes by road to central Moscow depending on traffic. Allow road or rail time to Loft Hall #2, 3; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Loft Hall #2, 3: Moscow: City Comfort Hotel; Moscow: Gesten Hotel; Moscow: Buddotel' Moscow.
Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing is the dominant way to book taxis in Moscow and is normally cheaper and more traceable than hailing on the street; Yandex Go is the widest-coverage service, with local alternatives available. Foreign-issued bank cards often fail to link, so set up a payment method before you travel or carry cash, and confirm the car and plate in the app before getting in. From SVO to central Moscow expect roughly RUB 1,800-3,500 depending on traffic and vehicle class, and allow 40-70 minutes.
Public transit: The Moscow Metro is the practical way to reach the Loft Hall #2, 3 venue district: it is fast, cheap and unaffected by winter road congestion. Fares are roughly RUB 60-75 per single journey when paid with a Troika card or contactless bank card, and the network runs from early morning until around 1 am, with night bus coverage after that. Route planners on transport.mos.ru give live station pairs and travel times; allow an extra 20-30 minutes on the opening morning of 16 February 2027 and keep a printed station name in Russian to show staff.
Parking: Loft Hall is in the central city, where paid street zones and commercial garages are the norm rather than large free exhibition lots. Expect roughly RUB 200-500 per hour in central paid zones, with daily caps varying by garage, and confirm with the organiser whether Loft Hall reserves parking for exhibitors and how build-up vehicles access the loading area. If you drive, allow extra time for snow clearance and traffic, and keep the parking ticket with your vehicle documents.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027
Temperature: Expect deep-winter conditions on 16-17 February 2027: daytime highs typically around -9 to -4 C and overnight lows near -12 to -7 C, with wind chill making it feel colder on exposed streets. Check a forecast in the final week for the exact highs and lows during your stay.
Seasonality: February is a cold, comparatively dry month in Moscow where precipitation usually falls as snow, and a persistent snow cover with compacted ice on pavements is normal. Heavy snowfall episodes can disrupt road traffic and airport transfers, so build slack into arrival day. Air quality on the reference forecast date was moderate (US AQI around 122, PM2.5 about 46.6 micrograms per cubic metre), so sensitive travellers should review local advisories.
Packing: Pack insulated layers, a windproof winter coat, gloves, hat, scarf and waterproof boots with grip for snow and ice, plus lighter layers for heated venues and hotels. Bring lip balm and moisturiser for dry cold air, a power bank for long transfer days, and printed copies of key documents in case your phone battery drops in the cold. Recheck the forecast and any air-quality advisory in the week before departure.
