Arkhangelsk - where is it? Not all residents of Russia will be able to correctly indicate the place on the map where this city is located, but at the same time everyone saw it - it is he who is depicted on a banknote of 500 rubles. In order to understand how far it is located from the center, whether there is a time difference between Moscow and Arkhangelsk, and whether the polar night arrives there, we turn to the map.
Arkhangelsk is a city in the European part of Russia, located at the mouth of the Northern Dvina River, the administrative center of the Arkhangelsk region. This is the homeland of Admiral Kuznetsov and Mikhail Lomonosov, Stepan Pisakhov and Nikolai Rubtsov. Information for visuals - St. Petersburg north of our capital is exactly the same as Arkhangelsk north of St. Petersburg.
Moscow-Arkhangelsk: time difference
Arkhangelsk is often confused with Astrakhan - the sound of the names of these two cities is somewhat similar. But if Astrakhan is really separated by one time zone from the capital, then there is no time difference between the cities of Moscow and Arkhangelsk. If in Moscow at 15:00, then in Arkhangelsk the clock will show exactly the same time.
Distance - is the capital of Pomerania far from the capital of Russia?
The distance from Moscow to Arkhangelsk in km is 1223, if you move along the highway. In a straight line closer is 990 km. But given that most of the Arkhangelsk region is occupied by forests and swamps, getting to the capital of Pomerania "directly" seems unrealistic. By the way, Mikhail Lomonosov from the village of Kholmogory, Arkhangelsk Region, overcame this path in three weeks, following on foot with a fish train.
What to get to
Three types of transport are most popular - airplanes, trains, cars.
Air traffic in the city is represented by two airports - Talagi international airport 11 km from the city and a small airport in the village of Vaskovo 13 km from the center, which serves local transportation within the region. From other regions and countries, aircraft land exclusively at Talagi airport. Time in the air, if you fly from Moscow, is about an hour and a half.
The railway connection will allow you to get from Moscow to Arkhangelsk in 20-22 hours.
If you choose a trip along the M8 highway by car, then the whole trip will take 15.5 hours, and this is not counting snacking stops.
And yes, there is no time difference between Moscow and Arkhangelsk, but this is only if we talk about time zones. If you look at the time figuratively, you will notice that it flows differently in Arkhangelsk - the city as a whole is in no hurry, there is less fuss and rush.
