Transport infrastructure of Nizhny Novgorod

Such a large city as Nizhny Novgorod is a major transport hub, combining a variety of stations (both railway and river), ports, berths, sunkens, etc. Such saturation with transport is due not only to the large population of the city (more than a million people), but also to its proximity to Moscow, the largest populated and transport center of the Russian Federation. This affected the railway network in the form of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod high-speed traffic opened in 2010.

River and air transport

River transport in Nizhny Novgorod plays the role of intracity, helping to get to various areas faster. But the most active waters of the Oka and Volga rivers are used for cargo transportation, the volume of which is growing every year. All river routes are included in the Volga-Baltic waterway, which is one of the largest in Russia.

In Nizhny Novgorod there is an international airport Strigino, designed for residents of this region. The schedule is made so that everyone can quickly get to Yekaterinburg, Moscow, Syktyvkar and other cities, including foreign ones.

Road transport

Given that the first car appeared on the territory of the city in the XIX century, it is not surprising that motor vehicles are a priority way to move inside the region. Therefore, the concentration of cars on the roads is very high, and it is very difficult to get to the right place in the “peak hour”.

Rail transport

The train schedule in Nizhny Novgorod includes 113 long-distance trains. In the morning, you will be able to leave without undue expectation to such settlements as Moscow, Ufa, Kazan, Penza, Perm, Kirov and St. Petersburg. The train station is busiest in the morning. Schedule details - here.

The train schedule is also convenient. You can get to the station you are interested in both early morning and late evening. The most popular destinations can be called Syzran, Izhevsk, Dzerzhinsk, Kotelnich, Zavolzhye and others. The first flight departs at 5.00, and the last - around 23.00. Given the “density” of the schedule and the number of trains, the logical step is always to clarify the information, because it can change. The easiest way to do this is through the Internet or on arrival at the station. Today, the first option is increasingly chosen, especially if you want to get information about a particular destination, flight or itinerary.
