Tyumen is a very space-efficient city with good logistics, in part because of Trans-Siberian Railway that runs directly through it. The city airport offers dozens of flights a day to Moscow, St. Petersburg and other destinations; a flight to Moscow only takes 2h20m, and the airport is a mere 10 minute taxi ride from the city center.
