Weather
Moscow in late March and early April is early spring. The weather provider returned no forecast data for this run, so treat the following as a climatological band rather than a forecast: daytime temperatures commonly range from about -4 C to +6 C, with night frosts still likely, snowmelt and slush on pavements, and a mix of rain and wet snow. Pack an insulated waterproof coat, warm layers and shoes with grip, and check a live forecast in the week before departure.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mobile coverage in Moscow is broad, including around Crocus Expo IEC and the metro network. Buying a local prepaid SIM requires passport registration at the operator shop, so allow time on arrival day or arrange roaming with your home operator before travel. Venue and hotel Wi-Fi is common but can be congested during show hours; download hall plans, badges and catalogues for offline use, and keep a power bank for long days in the pavilions.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Badge and security flow
Crocus Expo IEC uses badge checks and bag screening at pavilion entrances. Bring photo ID matching your registration, arrive 20-30 minutes before your first meeting, and expect longer queues on the opening morning.
Getting around
The metro is the fastest way to reach the venue: Line 3 to Myakinino. Moscow's Troika card covers metro, bus and tram rides, and route planners such as Moovit help with connections. Keep a small amount of rouble cash for taxis and top-ups.
Language and meetings
Russian is the working language on most stands. Russian-language catalogues and price lists get faster answers, and a local interpreter is worth booking for negotiation-heavy days.
Business dress and punctuality
Business dress is expected at the fair, and handshakes plus a formal greeting are standard when meeting a new supplier. Arrive on time for scheduled stand appointments, since buyers typically plan several meetings per hour.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: SVO
Book against Sheremetyevo (SVO) or Vnukovo (VNO), the two airports most convenient for Crocus Expo IEC; Sheremetyevo usually gives the shorter transfer. Flight comparison captures for this run returned unrelated domestic itineraries, so no origin-band fares are published here - request live quotes from airlines or an agent. Check the timetable on svo.aero before booking ground transport, allow a buffer for immigration queues, and confirm baggage allowances if you are carrying sample materials for supplier meetings.
Transport
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 Crocus Expo IEC depending on traffic; Vnukovo International Airport (VNO): Approx. 45-80 minutes by road to Crocus Expo IEC depending on traffic; Domodedovo International Airport (DME): Approx. 60-100 minutes by road to Crocus Expo IEC depending on traffic.

Ride-hail: Ride-hailing is widely used in Moscow and is the easiest way to get a fixed fare to Crocus Expo IEC or the airports. Order through an app such as Yandex Go rather than hailing on the street, check the plate and driver name before getting in, and confirm card or cash payment in the app - foreign-issued cards may not work, so keep rouble cash as a fallback.
Public transit: Moscow's metro is the backbone of travel to MosBuild: take Line 3 (Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya) to Myakinino, the station serving Crocus Expo IEC, then follow signage to the pavilion named on your badge. Buy a Troika stored-value card at a metro ticket office or vending machine; it covers metro, bus, tram and suburban rail and removes the need for single tickets. Journey planning and service status are published on transport.mos.ru, with Moovit and russianmetro.ru useful for hotel-to-venue routes. Exact fares and journey times were not visible in the captures for this run, so confirm live fares before travel and allow extra time during peak hours.
Parking: Crocus Expo IEC has extensive on-site surface parking next to its pavilions, with vehicle access from the MKAD and the Krasnogorsk approach roads. Rates and gate rules are set by the venue and were not published in the captures, so confirm them on the Crocus Expo or MosBuild site before driving. On the opening morning, arrive at least 45 minutes early to clear vehicle queues and walk to your first hall.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: Late March 2027 (spring edition window; confirm exact dates on mosbuildexpo.com)
Temperature: Approx. -4 C to +6 C daytime, colder at night with frost still likely (climatological band, not a forecast)
Seasonality: Early spring in Moscow brings snowmelt, slush and a mix of rain and wet snow, with roughly 10-12 wet days a month typical for the season. Pavements around the venue can be icy in the morning.
Packing: Pack an insulated waterproof coat that covers the knee, warm layers and a scarf, gloves and a hat for early mornings, comfortable waterproof shoes with grip for slushy pavements, and a small umbrella. Bring a power bank and a refillable water bottle for long days across the Crocus Expo pavilions, plus a light indoor layer because halls are heated.

Day 7
Reserve a hotel near a metro station on Line 3 or a central rail terminal; compare budget options such as Sokol-Hotel and Winterfell on Baumanskaya against mid-range City Comfort Hotel or Hotel Ladomir. — Ask for a late check-in if your flight lands after 21:00.
Day 8
Book flights into Sheremetyevo (SVO) or Vnukovo (VNO) and confirm arrival times against the svo.aero timetable. — Evening arrivals reduce transfer options; check the last metro and rail times.
Day 9
Check visa status and passport validity for Russia; if an e-visa is required, apply or confirm the approval printout. — Processing time varies by nationality; do not leave this to the last week.
Day 10
Register for MosBuild through mosbuildexpo.com and save the confirmation email and badge QR code.; Recheck the live weather forecast and the organiser opening hours, then leave early on show days to clear badge and security checks at Crocus Expo IEC. — Security screening is standard; allow 20-30 minutes at peak arrival.

Which airport should I fly into for MosBuild?
Sheremetyevo (SVO) and Vnukovo (VNO) are the two Moscow airports most convenient for Crocus Expo IEC, both on the north-west side of the city. Domodedovo (DME) is further south and usually a longer transfer. Check live timetables on svo.aero before booking onward transport.
How do I get from the airport to Crocus Expo IEC?
Take an airport taxi or pre-booked transfer for the 30-60 minute ride depending on airport and traffic, or use the airport rail link into central Moscow and continue by metro to Myakinino station, which serves the exhibition centre. Allow extra time in peak hours.
How do I get to the venue by metro?
Take Line 3 (Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya) to Myakinino station, which opens directly onto the Crocus Expo grounds. From most central Moscow hotels the journey takes roughly 40-60 minutes including a change in the centre.
How do I pay for public transport in Moscow?
Buy a Troika stored-value card at a metro ticket office or vending machine and top it up as needed; it covers metro, bus and tram rides and avoids queueing for single tickets. Troika and fare rules are explained on transport.mos.ru.

Which product sectors are covered at MosBuild?
The show covers building materials, dry mixes and chemicals, ceramic tiles and sanitaryware, doors, windows and profile systems, flooring and wall finishes, tools and hardware, and interior and decor ranges. Use the hall plan on the organiser site to plan a route by sector.
What currency is used in Moscow and can I pay by card?
The local currency is the Russian rouble (RUB). International cards issued outside Russia may not work in shops and terminals, so carry enough cash for taxis, metro top-ups and small purchases and confirm card acceptance with your bank before travel.

Where should I stay for MosBuild?
Hotels in central Moscow along metro Line 3 or near Belorussky and Kievsky rail terminals make the trip to Myakinino straightforward; budget and mid-range options in the city centre are listed in the hotel section of this page. Book early because trade fair weeks tighten availability.
Is parking available at Crocus Expo IEC?
