Kursk Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Kursk is well connected by bus and rail, and there are flights to/from Moscow and St Petersburg.

Like Oryol, Kursk is on the Moscow- Kharkiv railway with trains to Moscow (R420, eight hours) every half-hour, sometimes more. There are also trains to Kharkiv (R225, three hours) and to/from the Caucasus and Crimea daily. To Oryol you can go by train (R170, two hours) or elektrichka (R94, three hours). The station (ul Internatsionalnaya) is about 3km northeast of Krasnaya pl.

Kursk is also accessible by frequent bus services from Oryol, Belgorod, Moscow and Kharkiv. If you're arriving in Kursk by bus from the south, have the driver let you off at the Motel Solovinaya Roshcha, from where you can get a tram or trolleybus to the centre, saving an hour of doub- ling back.
