Travel:

Plane

Sochi International Airport is the closest airport to the circuit, located just 10km away. There are no direct flights from the UK to Sochi, so you will need to stop over in Moscow to reach Sochi by plane. From here, you can take a taxi directly to the circuit.

Car

Parking is restricted at the circuit, so using the good public transport links is recommended when travelling to the circuit. However, if you still wish to take your own vehicle to the race, you will need to acquire a parking permit in order to park at the track.

Train

There is an Aeroexpress train running from Sochi International Airport to Sochi city centre frequently, taking approximately 45 minutes. From Sochi, ticket holders can use the frequent trains to the Olympic Park Station, which is conveniently located close to the gate.

Bus

There are also many buses that travel to the Olympic Park Station, and this is often a more convenient method of travel from your accommodation to the circuit and back than taking private transportation. Speak with your hotel for details of the nearest bus stop to you.
