<p class="blog-para">Before embarking on your Russian exploration, let's get strategic.</p>
<ul>
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Layover Length: </strong>Knowing your layover duration is key. Factor in immigration, customs (particularly for international arrivals), and security checks to calculate your exploration window. Generally, laovers exceeding 6 hours offer comfortable exploration time outside the airport, especially with JODOGO's efficient meet and greet services.</li>
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Visa Considerations: </strong>Depending on your nationality and layover duration, you may be eligible for a visa-free entry or visa on arrival. Check Russia's visa requirements beforehand to ensure a smooth experience. JODOGO can assist you with navigating visa complexities and obtaining any necessary documentation.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Transportation: </strong> Public transportation options connect SVO to central Moscow, but navigating them with limited time can be challenging. Consider pre-booking a JODOGO private transfer with a reliable driver for a stress-free journey into the city and ensure a timely return to the airport. The Aeroexpress train is another option, offering a direct connection to city center in about 30 minutes.</li>
</ul>
