Traveling through vast Russia is very exciting. This article is devoted not only to the Moscow-Murom route, but also to some interesting information. How to get to Murom on your own by car or public transport will be described below. It is recommended to always clarify all questions, nuances, doubts before the trip, as the road will be long.

Ride on the sightseeing bus

Of course, the best option for visiting Murom is an excursion or a pilgrimage trip by bus, where the guide along the way will tell not only the history of the city, but also show interesting places. There will also be two or three rest stops. The Moscow-Murom route is quite long. If you go by sightseeing bus without traffic jams, the trip will take about 6 hours. It is recommended to leave Moscow no later than 7 am in order to arrive in Murom at least by 1 pm.

How will a trip from Moscow to Murom look like? The distance between cities is about 300 km.

Public transport to Murom

In this section, we will determine what types of public transport are on the Moscow-Murom route. There are two most convenient options.

Train. All long distance trains are passing. There is no such route that the city of Murom is the final destination. This point must be taken into account. Travel times are slightly different for all routes. For example, train 142G "Moscow-Cheboksary" reaches Murom in exactly 5 hours. Departure from Moscow at 00.15. Most likely, this is not the most suitable option, on the one hand. Yes, it looks tempting, already at 5 o'clock in the morning we will be in Murom. But, unfortunately, you won't be able to sleep. Go to bed no earlier than 1 am. The conductor will wake you up at 4.30. A maximum of 3.5 hours will be allotted for sleep. But in the ancient and beloved city, you want to stay in a cheerful state. It is better to book a hotel room in advance or arrange accommodation with private traders. The second option is more profitable, since you can arrive almost at any time of the day. At 16.20, train 58G departs from Moscow, arrival in Murom at 20.57. All trains passing through Murom depart only from Kazansky railway station.

Bus. All buses from Moscow go from the Shchelkovsky bus station. There are only 5 flights and all are extremely inconvenient for tourists. An exception is only for those traveling with a booked overnight stay. Another disadvantage of bus travel is the constant traffic jams on the Gorky Highway.

How to get there by car?

And again let's talk about the Moscow-Murom route. How to get toprivate car? You need to leave Moscow along the Highway of Enthusiasts. The easiest way will be for those who live in the center, on Aviamotornaya, in Novogireevo. Residents of the eastern and southeastern districts do not need to go to the Moscow Ring Road. Highway Enthusiasts outside of Moscow imperceptibly passes into Gorkovskoye Highway (highway M7 "Volga"). Until the exit to the city of Vladimir, the road is straight. We pass through Reutov, and Noginsk, and Pokrov. Murom is located in Vladimir Oblast Approaching the regional center and the famous ancient city of Vladimir, you need to prepare for the fact that you need to keep to the right. The M7 highway ends for us at the next interchange in the Baigushi and Vyatkino areas. We go right again. Everywhere there are signs to Murom. You need to follow them. The road is straight to the city.

How to navigate in Murom and what to see?

In order not to get lost in the city, it is better to take a navigator with you. Moorom is large and very difficult for beginners. A regular paper map is also useful for backpackers.

The story tells that Ilya Muromets, possessing extraordinary strength, uprooted centuries-old oaks from the ground. It is in the Murom forests that we will see when driving along the Moscow-Murom route. Guests will be impressed by the face of Ilya Muromets made of stone, next to it is an armored train named after our hero and patron saint of the city.

The main attractions of the city are three monasteries: Holy Trinity (there are the relics of Saints Peter and Fevronia), Annunciation and Spaso-Preobrazhensky. There are other shrines as well. For example, saintJuliania Lazarevskaya also pray for family well-being in the Church of St. Nicholas. They called this church St. Nicholas Wet.

If a tourist is indifferent to Orthodoxy, he will find other interesting places. You can admire the Oka from a high mountain, go to the museum, parks.
