How to navigate Moscow to get to the Skoltech dormitories on your first day
How to get to the dorms
Here is the exact address: Moscow, Skolkovo Innovation Center, Kulibina st., 2/2 (in Russian: Москва, Инновационный центр Сколково, улица Кулибина 2/2). Feel free to copy and paste it in your navigation app of choice or click this link.
When you arrive, there won't be a Skoltech representative at the airport or railway station, so these instructions are to be followed on your own. We recommend avoiding unofficial taxi drivers who will be offering you their personal and private services after you pass customs– they are good enough, but most probably don't speak English and/or most likely don't accept cashless payment.

If you don't want to worry about taking public transport on your first day, you can always order a taxi directly from the airport or the railway station directly to the Palisad dormitory. We recommend to order one via Uber App or Yandex Taxi – you'll see the price in advance, would be able to choose the type of the vehicle (considering your bags) and can pay by credit card if you don't have cash on you yet. We recommend to order a taxi above the Comfort class category – because anything lower will most likely not help you with bags or speak English.
The approximate price depends on traffic and travel time. Usually it takes anywhere from1-1.5 hours and costs from 800-1300 RUB.
