Best time to visit Moscow from India
May through September offers the best weather for Moscow tourism with temperatures of 16C to 26C and long summer days. June and July are warmest and most pleasant. White Nights (late May to mid-June) bring extended daylight. October brings beautiful autumn colours in Moscow parks. November through March is very cold (-10C to 0C) with snow, but Moscow's winter atmosphere and New Year celebrations are spectacular. Indian visitors often visit Moscow in May, June, or September.
Moscow is served by multiple international airports. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international gateway, with 4G coverage throughout the terminal complex. Domodedovo (DME) and Vnukovo (VKO) also have 4G in their terminals.
The Aeroexpress rail from Sheremetyevo to Belorussky station and from Domodedovo to Paveletsky station has 4G along most routes.
The Moscow Metro has broad 4G coverage and is a major urban network covering the full city. The MCC (Moscow Central Circle) and newer MCD (Moscow Central Diameters) commuter rail lines also have strong outdoor coverage.
Indian travellers should activate their eSIM before the flight so navigation and ride-hailing apps work on arrival.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
