The MGU guest hostel is located in the main building (zone E, 6/7th floor). There is a entrance right from ‘uliza Lebedeva’. Buses stop in front the main entrance, however.

Not far from MGU (3 bus stops, on Lomonossovski prospekt) is the Hotel Universitetskaya, that offers accommodation in comfort and simple rooms at attractive prices.

Directions to reach Lomonosov University (by car or by bus)

From the airport: take a taxi outside the airport (only with official signs) and indicate that you would like to go to ‘Moscow State University, MGU’. Prices for a single ride from the airport is anywhere between 50 and 80 USD depending on the day of the week and the type of car (Sundays and late hours are more expensive). The ride should last about 40 min, however, during rush hour, it could take you as much as 2 hours to get to the university. There are also the buses connecting airports to the metro (if you travel from Sheremetievo airport, the station is Retshnoi Vokzal if you leave from airport Domodedovo you will arrive to the station Domodedovskaya). From there you can take the metro (red line) to the station ‘Universitet’. Across the street called ‘Lomonosovsky Prospekt’ is a bus stop, and buses Nr 1, 113 (3 stops) and Nr. 119 and 661 (2 stops) will take you directly to the entrance of the main building. Traveling from Sheremetevo airport to the MGU with public transportation will take you about 1.5 hours and is quite inconvenient, especially if you have lots of luggage. From the newer Domodedovo Airport, the transfer is longer (2.5 hours) and is not more convenient by public transportation either.

We recommend you to book a transfer from the airport to MGU when you arrive. Our representative and driver will await you at the airport right after you passed the customs and drive you to the unversity or your host family. Especially if you arrive late or on Sundays, you will have difficulties to get into the MGU campus alone.
