World Cup 2018

The World Cup in Russia is getting closer and we all have hope that our national team will qualify. Many are considering traveling to Russia to support and experience each of our team's matches.

But how much would that cost us? That's why Despegar.com has put together a complete guide on the costs of hotels, flights, etc., so that Mexicans can finance these travel packages in installments in case they are planning to travel to the World Cup:

Current Costs

Flights (departing from Mexico City): Approximately 25 thousand pesos per person, round trip with a layover in London. If you want cheaper options, choose a flight with more than 2 layovers.

Hotels: A 3-star hotel in the center of Moscow has an approximate cost of 370 pesos per night.

Getting around Moscow: The most convenient option is to rent a car to get around the city, which costs approximately 712 pesos per day.

Another more economical alternative is to purchase a tourist card called "PassCity," which has an approximate cost of 1,060 pesos for 3 days. This card includes public transportation, taxis, access to the main museums in Moscow and St. Petersberg, and even free coffee at DoubleB.

Other important aspects to consider when traveling to Russia in June 2018 is the weather. Fortunately, Moscow will be in the summer and it's the best season to tour the city. The weather will be approximately between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius. Since it's summer, the days will be longer: sunrise will be at 5 AM and sunset will be around 10 PM.

Furthermore, it's important to know that Moscow won't be the only host city for this grand event. Other cities such as St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kaliningrad, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Sochi, Volgograd, and Saransk will also be hosting the World Cup 2018.

In addition to the costs of tickets, meals, and other expenses, you should consider these factors when planning your budget for this trip.

Are you up for it if Mexico qualifies?
