When looking at a map of Russia, it can be difficult to "by eye" determine the distance between two points. It seems that the two cities are close, and then you find out that you can get there only on the crossbars or by making a huge detour. And sometimes, on the contrary, the distance seems huge, and as it turns out, high-speed trains have been launched to the desired point for a long time.

In a straight line, the distance Arkhangelsk - Moscow will be 990 km. This is if you mentally draw a straight line between them. But, given the climate and swampy terrain of the Arkhangelsk lands, they did not risk laying the road using the shortest route. As a result, between the cities of Arkhangelsk and Moscow, the distance along the highway will be 1227 km. What mode of transport can be used to overcome this path?

Airplane

Flights are quite frequent. This is the fastest way to get from one city to another. Travel time will be only 1.5 hours. In Arkhangelsk, Talagi Airport is located 11 km from the center. There are no such traffic jams as in Moscow in the capital of Pomorye. So that,after landing, you can be in Arkhangelsk within half an hour.

By train

Also quite a popular option. It attracts with safety, the ability to sleep on the way and the relatively low cost of tickets compared to air travel. The distance between cities will be covered by Russian Railways in about 21-22 hours, depending on the type of train.

Drive

Let's consider in more detail the route Moscow - Arkhangelsk and the distance by car. The journey by car will take approximately 15.5 hours. This estimated time does not include stops for refueling the car or snacks. Many people prefer to travel this way, especially now that the federal highway leading to the North is almost completely repaired.

M8 highway - what you need to know?

The distance between Moscow and Arkhangelsk is quite convenient to overcome by car. Motorists are aware that the M8 highway called Kholmogory leads to the North. What would you like to know about her?

For starters, travelers need to figure out where to stop and eat, and sometimes spend the night. The distance from Arkhangelsk to Moscow is considerable, and if traveling with children, a h alt may be required.

The infrastructure in the form of gas stations, toilets and cafes is well developed here. There are places for a simple snack, and there are places where they offer to spend the night. There are tire shops and car services here. When driving along the highway, you can meet such a number of them:

• on the territory of the Moscow region - 3;
• in Vladimirskaya -3;
• in Yaroslavl - already 17;
• in the Vologda Oblast - 5;
• in the Arkhangelsk region, a traveler will meet at least 4 complexes with car service services.

Please note that not the total number of points existing in the regions is indicated, but those located on the Arkhangelsk-Moscow highway. The distance between cities is large, so this amount of infrastructure is very useful for drivers and passengers.

Of the advantages of the route, many motorists note the quality of the roadway. Indeed, the highway has recently been repaired, and most travelers are satisfied with the coverage. To date, it has been changed almost everywhere, but there are still small sections of road work that can slow down traffic. This needs to be considered.

There are many CCTV cameras on the highway, which motorists should be aware of.
