Getting around Arkhangelsk
Finding your way around Arkhangelsk is simple, but some options bring compromises that travellers often regret.
Public Transport in Arkhangelsk
Trams, buses and marshrutkas cover many neighborhoods and a single ticket typically costs the equivalent of a couple of dollars. They are cheap and frequent, but routes can be indirect and schedules change on holidays. Luggage space and English signage are limited, and waiting with bags at cold stops is not fun compared with having a driver meet you directly.
Car Rentals in Arkhangelsk
Renting a car gives full control and rates vary by class; expect daily prices from modest hatchbacks to SUVs with higher insurance costs. Rentals work well for flexible day trips, yet additional fuel costs, parking hassles and unfamiliar roads add stress. For one-way trips, drop-off fees can make the exact price unexpectedly high compared to a booked transfer.
Taxi in Arkhangelsk
Traditional street cabs and app-based local taxis are readily available and fares can be low for short rides, but surge pricing, unclear licensing and language barriers sometimes spoil the experience. GetTransfer essentially provides taxi services in Arkhangelsk but elevated: you book in advance, choose the vehicle type—be it a cheap cab, private sedan, seater van or a limousine—and pick a driver whose profile and license are visible. The platform prevents surprise price hikes by showing exact fares and allows you to get a car suited to your group size and luggage needs. Drivers aim to arrive on time at agreed locations such as the airport or cruise terminal, and the service adds extras like child seats on request.

Scenic Views Along Routes
Many routes leaving Arkhangelsk reward passengers with a changing landscape: the White Sea coastline appears on some drives, while forested expanses and small wooden villages offer a glimpse of northern Russia.
