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.
