Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) Information

Where is Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport?  

As the nation's capital city, Moscow is the centre of political and financial Russia. Yet, the once capital of the former Soviet Union boasts many reminders of its Soviet and imperial past. Everywhere you look in Moscow, you can see Soviet-era monoliths and post-Soviet kitsch.

Moscow is an architecture lover's dream, with its onion-shaped domes and famous subway platforms. This sprawling metropolis, set on the Moskva River, which bends its way through the city, Moscow is also home to palaces, cathedrals and numerous museums.
