Perm is located east of Moscow, in the foothills of the Urals, just at that point on the map where a new day begins for the European continent. For this reason, it is often called the "gate of Europe" or the "city of the rising sun." The time difference between Perm and Moscow is two hours, it is with such a delay that dawn sets in for the capital. It should be noted that many other sonorous nicknames were invented for the described city in the Urals . One of them, for example, is the "backbone of the Russian land." And so they say about the city is not by chance. This is the heart of the Perm Territory, a transport hub, a center of science and culture, famous for a large number of unique monuments.
Motor ship cruises
The city was founded in 1723, and the Kama River, connected by a single system with the waters of European countries, flows through its territory. The two ports available in Perm give an excellent opportunity to transport passengers and cargo across many seas. Among them are the Caspian, Azov, Black and Baltic. Thus, it turns out that from this city you can get by river transport not only to the capital, but also to Astrakhan, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg and a huge number of other points, and come back in the same way.
Extremely popular are cruises on the ship on the specified network of routes. Given the small time difference between Moscow and the cities of Russia along which such expeditions take place, such a trip does not create unnecessary inconvenience for tourists with getting used to time zones. And you can see enough interesting things, because visiting simple Russian cities, taking into account their rich history, can be much more interesting than any foreign trips. Such a cruise usually lasts about 15 days and leaves a lot of impressions.
Railway junction
Interestingly, the first railway line in the Urals was built in Perm. Now this city is a large hub that performs this kind of movement. The railway passing through this point connects the capital not only with the cities of the Urals and Siberia, but with other countries, for example, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China.
A branded fast train Kama runs daily between Perm and Moscow, which is perhaps the most convenient form of transport of this kind. From the capital, he leaves at 16.50 from the station "Moscow. Yaroslavskaya". On the way, the train travels 1397 km and makes 7 stops, the most significant of which are in Vladimir and Yaroslavl. The train arrives at Perm-2 station 20 hours 38 minutes after leaving the destination, that is, at 13.28 or local time at 15.28, taking into account the time difference between Moscow and Perm.
Air Transport
The local Savino airport boasts international status. He carries out communication with many cities of the country and neighboring countries. Interestingly, the flight from Sheremetyevo Airport to this city in the foothills of the Urals by Aeroflot flights is approximately 120 minutes. This coincides with the time difference between Moscow and Perm. The distance that must be overcome in order to reach the destination with this mode of transport is 1154 km. A trip costs the passenger about 3120 rubles. A little longer is a trip from Domodedovo, where the flight lasts up to four hours. It's a shame that in this case, the time difference Perm-Moscow is not so much symbolic. After all, one could leave a famous point and fly to the capital formally at the same time.
sights
Perm - in fact, is the capital of the Urals. This is a city that has existed on the world map for three hundred years now. So there are a lot of interesting things. And given the small time difference between Moscow and Perm, guests from the capital will not have to yawn from a habit of exploring local architectural sights and monuments.
