Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME) Information

Where is Moscow Domodedovo Airport?  

Once capital of the former Soviet Union, and today the capital of Russia, Moscow is a sprawling metropolis. Set on the Moskva River, which bends its way through the city, this centre of political and financial Russia boasts many reminders of its imperial and Soviet past.

Everywhere in Moscow, there are Soviet-era monoliths and post-Soviet kitsch, and numerous museums. Moscow is an architecture lover's dream, with its onion-shaped domes, famous subway platforms, old palaces and cathedrals.
