Russia is a huge country in which thousands of people move from city to city every day. On planes, cars, trains or buses, many travel for work, to visit relatives and friends. Today we will talk about all the nuances of moving from Samara to Nizhny Novgorod and back, which will certainly be useful for residents not only of these cities, but of the whole of Russia.

Bus

This is one of the easiest ways to overcome the route "Samara - Nizhny Novgorod". Fortunately for the inhabitants of cities, there are even two of them. The first one leaves at 19:00 from the Central Bus Station of Samara and arrives in Nizhny Novgorod at 8:20 in the morning. Thus, he spends 14 hours and 20 minutes on the road.

The second bus "Samara - Nizhny Novgorod" travels only 11 hours. It leaves Samara from the square near the railway station at 21:00 and arrives at 7:00 at the Moscow railway station.

In the opposite direction, along the route "Nizhny Novgorod - Samara", there are also 2 buses. One leaves the city at 2:40 pm from the bus station and arrives at its destination at 9 am. In total, the bus spends 14hours 20 minutes.

The second bus leaves Nizhny Novgorod at 21:00 from the Moscow railway station and arrives at its destination at 8:00. Thus, the travel time is 11 hours.

Note that, according to carrier companies, all buses of the route "Samara - Nizhny Novgorod" are tourist buses, so they are more convenient than usual.

Train

As statistics show, one of the most popular railway routes is "Nizhny Novgorod - Samara". The distance by train between these cities is only 794 km. Settlements are connected by flight No. 337Ж. He travels not only through these cities, the train path begins in St. Petersburg. Directly in Nizhny Novgorod, landing takes place at 16.45, and the train reaches Samara at 8.39. In total, the journey takes 15 hours and 54 minutes.

In the direction "Samara - Nizhny Novgorod" train number 337Y goes. He leaves Samara at 20:25 and arrives at his destination at 13:02. Thus, it turns out that the return journey takes 16 hours 37 minutes, i.e. more than in the direction "Nizhny Novgorod-Samara".

The train covers the distance with stops, the largest of which are Syzran and Arzamas. There are 18 stops on the way between cities.

Note that the train has not only reserved seats and compartments, but also seated ones.

Traveling by private vehicle

A car ride is stillone option for traveling along the route "Nizhny Novgorod - Samara". The distance by car on the road is about 720 km, which is not so much. In time it will take about 12 hours. It is quite possible to do such a route in one day.

On the way, the biggest cities will be Dimitrovgrad, Ulyanovsk and Cheboksary (the last settlement can be bypassed). There are many cafes and hotels along the way, so don't worry about it.

Airplane

Despite the fact that the distance along the route "Samara - Nizhny Novgorod" is relatively small, there will certainly be those who want to go to another city by air, fortunately, there are almost direct flights. Samara airport ("Kurumoch") is located 42 km from the city itself, and Nizhny Novgorod airport ("Strigino") - 16 km.

The well-known company "UTair" is engaged in transportation of passengers. Airplanes from city to city fly daily at the same time, which allows us to talk about the total cost of all tickets.

Departure from Samara takes place at 15:55, and an hour and a half later - at 16:25 - passengers land in Nizhny Novgorod. In the opposite direction, departure is carried out at 12:25, and landing - at 15:02. Thus, it turns out that the flight from Nizhny Novgorod takes 10 minutes more.

When calculating your time and costs, keep in mind that after landing at the airport, you will still need to get to the city itself. Fortunately, this is not difficult to do: regular buses run constantly andminibuses, and finding a taxi will not be difficult.

Fare prices

The cheapest transport option is the bus. The ticket will cost about 1000 rubles, which is quite cheap. Just keep in mind that all the hardships of moving in a sitting position at night will not go anywhere even in the most comfortable bus.

If we talk about the train, the ticket price depends on the type of seat. So, a seated one can be bought for about 1000 rubles, a reserved seat - for 1600, a coupe - for 2549, and a suite - for 5400.

The cost of a trip by car varies within 1740 rubles, so if there are more than two people in the car, this option can already compete with the bus in terms of economy.

Due to the fact that only one company operates flights between cities, we can name the exact cost of a ticket. Prices start from 5215 rubles. Only in June and August they rise - in these months the cost is from 5715 rubles. But do not forget about the cost of the trip from the airport to the city

Traveller opinions

According to the residents of both cities, the best option is to travel by train. But it’s better not to take the bus, since this type of transport is often chosen by not very adequate people. Sitting on the train, very few people dare to travel either. But in a compartment and a second-class carriage, people usually travel with pleasure.

Air travel is quite in demand, but due to the cost, few people choose them. But traveling by car is a frequent option, but noteveryone has that opportunity.

City residents also note that there is another way to make the way "Nizhny Novgorod - Samara". The distance can be covered by the river. Unfortunately, today all the ships that run between these cities are tourist ships, there are no more regular ones. Most likely, this is due to the fact that few people used sea transport.
