A street inside Kolomna Kremlin

Trains depart from Kazansky station in Moscow approximately every hour and cost RUB198. There are two types of train: most are local trains which head to Golutvin (Голутвин) and take 2 hours and 20 minutes. Kolomna is the station before Golutvin. There are also express trains to Ryazan which stop only in Golutvin, they take a little less than two hours.

Golutvin is not located in central Kolumna, it is about 3-4 km away. Therefore the slow trains to Kolumna, rather than the fast trains to Golutvin, will get you to Kolumna sooner.

Buses (number 460, Moscow-Golutvin) from Moscow cost around RUB230. They depart more often than the train but are at the mercy of traffic. The bus station in Kolomna is near the Golutvin train station.

Get around

There are buses and trams in Kolomna. Most of them are quite new and contain electronic displays with the names of the stations. The city is relatively small so the route map found on the wall of bus stops is comprehendable.

The single ride fare is RUB23.

gollark: I'd say it obviously depends on the picture. I mean, a blank white page is not very meaningful, but you can probably fit a few hundred words of *text* into an image, or describe a lot about a landscape or something.
gollark: The saying about pictures containing a thousand words is inaccurate.The average picture contains a large amount of information by many metrics, but a much *smaller* amount of it is actually meaningful and relevant to whatever you're doing with the picture.
gollark: Hmm. Well.
