Plan your trip

A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Hampton by Hilton Moscow Strogino
USD 95–122 / night
Breakfast and Wi-Fi included, paid parking, fitness room and bar. A reliable mid-market base for the north-west Moscow commute; book early because the Crocus event calendar tightens availability.
Hotel Aquarium
USD 95–122 / night
Breakfast, Wi-Fi and free parking included, with restaurant and room service. The closest shortlisted property to the venue, which matters when show days run long.
Melton Hotel
USD 95–122 / night
Wi-Fi and laundry available; flagged as a budget option within the three-star tier. Plan a taxi or bus leg rather than walking to the halls.
Soho Beach Hotel
USD 150–190 / night
Paid breakfast, parking, outdoor pool, restaurant and air conditioning. The upper-tier option in this set, useful if you are hosting supplier meetings away from the hall.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Metro
The cheapest reliable way into the venue district. Buy a Troika card at the station for the lowest fare, keep the ticket until exit, and allow 10-15 minutes to walk from the station to the halls. Confirm current fares on the Moscow transport portal.
Bus / tram
Useful for the last leg from metro stations and for hotels in the wider district. Trams are not the main mode on this corridor; buses and electric buses do the local work. Check the route number on the Moscow transport portal for your specific hotel.
Suburban rail (MCD diameter)
Faster than road transport when traffic is heavy, but you still need a bus or taxi for the final connection to the fairground. Validate the ticket at the platform validators and keep it for exit checks.
Taxi (city trip)
App-based ride-hail is normally cheaper than a street-hailed taxi. Allow 40-70 minutes from the city centre on weekday mornings and agree the price or check the app estimate before departure.
Taxi (airport transfer)
Book through an app or a licensed counter inside the terminal rather than accepting an unmarked car at the kerb. Journey time ranges roughly 30-60 minutes depending on traffic; add a buffer in the morning peak.
Ride-hail (app)
Yandex Go and similar apps are the standard local option; the fare is metered by the app and paid by card or cash. Expect longer waits and higher prices at hall closing time, so walk to a designated pickup point rather than hailing near the entrance.
Parking (venue)
Large capacity but the nearest car parks fill early on the opening morning. Confirm the current tariff board at the entry barrier or on the Crocus Expo parking page; payment is normally at the exit machine or by app.
Weather
Late March in Moscow is the end of winter rather than the start of spring. Expect a climatological band of roughly -6 °C at night to +6 °C by day, with daytime values usually hovering around 0 to +5 °C, overcast skies and a mix of wet snow, rain and thaw. Pavements and car parks are often slushy, and the fairground approaches at Krasnogorsk are exposed to wind. Inside the halls it is warm and dry, so the main comfort issue is the temperature swing between the street and the exhibition floor. Treat these as typical seasonal bands, not a forecast, and check a local forecast for the show week before packing.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mobile coverage in Moscow and Krasnogorsk is dense, with 4G widely available and 5G rollout limited, so messaging and email from the halls is generally reliable. Foreign SIM cards work on roaming in Russia but can be expensive and may lose data after a period in-country, so many business visitors buy a local SIM on arrival; registration requirements apply and passports are needed. Public Wi-Fi exists at Crocus Expo and in the adjacent mall, but it is not a substitute for a business connection during stand meetings. Card acceptance for foreign-issued cards is restricted in Russia, so plan payments in cash roubles or through a locally issued card. Download offline maps, a translation app and your badge QR code before entering the halls, where signal can drop in the larger exhibition spaces.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language on the floor
Russian is the working language of most stands and technical documentation. Larger brands and international distributors usually have English-speaking staff, but a translation app or a Russian-speaking colleague makes specification and price discussions much faster.
Payments and cash
Foreign-issued cards are widely declined in Russia. Carry roubles for taxis, cafes and small stands, or arrange payment through your hotel or host company. Larger exhibitors can usually invoice rather than take card payment on the stand.
Business greeting
A handshake at the start and end of a meeting is standard, and exchanging business cards is expected. Include your role and company on the card, and use titles and surnames until your counterpart switches to first names.
Punctuality and meeting rhythm
Appointments are usually kept on time, but stand conversations can run long when a technical discussion starts. Book fixed slots with priority exhibitors and leave buffer time between halls rather than stacking meetings back to back.
Dress and venue climate
Business casual is normal on the exhibition floor. Halls are heated and street temperatures in late March are still near freezing, so layering is more practical than a heavy suit alone, and waterproof footwear matters on the slushy approaches.
Getting around and safety
The metro is safe, frequent and signed in Cyrillic with some Latin transliteration. Keep your passport and migration documents with you, avoid unlicensed taxis at the airport kerb, and use app-based rides or official taxi counters instead.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Direct flight options between Moscow and many European cities have been limited in recent years, so most international visitors connect through hubs such as Istanbul, Dubai, Doha or Belgrade. Build the itinerary around Sheremetyevo (SVO) if you can, because it is the closest airport to the Krasnogorsk venue. Book on the carrier or a reputable OTA, confirm the baggage allowance and the terminal, and check current entry, transit and visa rules for every country on your routing before purchase. No fare is quoted here because ticket prices move daily; compare a refundable and a fixed-date fare and keep at least a half-day buffer before your first meeting.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Moscow; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Crocus Expo: Strogino / near Crocus City Mall (approx. 2 km): Hampton by Hilton Moscow Strogino; Approx. 850 m from Crocus City Mall: Hotel Aquarium; Approx. 4.6 km from Crocus City Mall: Melton Hotel.
Ride-hail: Yandex Go is the dominant ride-hail app in Moscow and Krasnogorsk, with card and cash payment options inside the app; other aggregators also operate. Fares are quoted before booking and vary with demand, so a short inner-city hop typically costs less than a cross-city trip, and airport transfers are the most expensive routine journey. Match the car plate and driver name before getting in, and use the designated pickup zones at Crocus Expo rather than hailing at the main entrance, where stopping is restricted and queues build at closing time. If your phone does not have a working data connection or a payment method accepted locally, ask the hotel to book a licensed taxi instead.
Public transit: The Moscow metro is the backbone of the trip. Myakinino station on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line (line 3, dark blue) is the usual station for Crocus Expo, with a walk to the halls; Strogino on line 7 serves the wider district but leaves a longer walk or a bus leg. Buy a Troika card at any station ticket office for the lowest per-ride fare and top it up as needed; single-ride tickets and contactless bank cards are also accepted at the turnstiles, subject to the current payment rules. For the last leg to the fairground, city buses run from the surrounding districts, and the MCD-2 suburban rail diameter serves the north-west corridor toward Krasnogorsk, though neither drops you at the hall door. Allow 60-75 minutes from central Moscow hotel to badge pickup, and more during the morning peak.
Parking: Crocus Expo has extensive on-site surface and multi-level parking serving the exhibition halls and the neighbouring Crocus City Mall, which is the practical choice if you drive to the fair. Parking is normally paid, with hourly and daily tariffs that rise on major event days, and payment is handled at the exit barrier or through the venue app. The car parks closest to the main hall entrances fill first on the opening morning, so arrive at least 45-60 minutes before your first appointment. Confirm the current tariff and the designated exhibitor versus visitor zones on the Crocus Expo or organiser visitor page before travelling.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027 (late-March show window, still end of the Moscow winter)
Temperature: Approx. -6 °C at night to +6 °C by day; daytime usually around 0 to +5 °C. Seasonal band only, confirm the forecast for the show week.
Seasonality: Snowmelt season. Expect overcast skies, wet snow or rain showers, slush on pavements and car parks, and occasional strong wind on the open approaches to the Krasnogorsk fairground. Snow cover can still be present early in the week and is usually gone by the end of the show window. Indoor halls are heated, so the practical issue is the repeated transition between street cold and hall warmth.
Packing: Pack for wet cold rather than deep frost: a warm waterproof coat, a hat and gloves, and boots with grip for slushy pavements and car parks. Bring layers you can remove inside the heated halls, plus comfortable shoes for long days on concrete floors. Add a compact umbrella, a spare pair of socks, and a bag that keeps sample boards and catalogues dry on the walk back to the hotel.
