Black Cab Tour Belfast: Everything You Need To Know

By Author Keith O'Hara

Posted on Last updated: December 29, 2023

A Black Cab Tour of Belfast is, in my opinion, the best way of getting an insight into the city’s past.

Now, don’t get me wrong – there’s plenty of things to do in Belfast that immerse you in the city’s history, but none compare to a Black Taxi Tour of Belfast.

These driving excursions take you across the city to the murals and peace wall to uncover the city’s turbulent history.

Below, you’ll find everything from what to expect on a Belfast Taxi Tour along with which ones we’d recommend checking out.

Table of Contents

Some quick need-to-knows before taking a Black Cab Tour of Belfast

Click to enlarge map

Although a Black Taxi Tour of Belfast is fairly straightforward, there are a few need-to-knows that’ll make your visit that bit more enjoyable.

1. What are they

Belfast Black Cab Tours are given by drivers who lived through the many years of unrest in Northern Ireland. The tours offer a unique understanding of the city’s troubled past and offer an insight into how Belfast has changed over the last decades.

2. Where you’ll visit

Although the itineraries of a Black Cab Tour of Belfast will change depending on the driver, you’ll more than likely see The Shankill Road , The Falls Road , the Belfast Peace Wall , the highlights of the city and the better-known Belfast murals .

3. Are they worth doing

A Black Cab Tour of Belfast is a unique way to discover the city’s past through stories told by someone that lived through The Troubles . These tours are widely regarded as one of the best ways to learn about the city’s history.

What to expect from a Belfast Black Taxi Tour

If you’ve never heard of the Black Cab Tours of Belfast, I’ll break down what you can expect from them in the section below.

Again, it’s worth noting that there are several tour providers operating in the city, so what each offers may differ slightly.

1. A unique experience

A Black Taxi Tour is one of the most unique things to do in Northern Ireland . It’ll give you a window into the city’s past that you won’t get from any guidebook.

And it’ll treat you to a style of storytelling that’ll captivate you from beginning to end. You’ll also be taken to what are often regarded as no-go areas of Belfast that you arguably wouldn’t want to be visiting solo.

2. An unbiased insight into the Troubles

The tours provide an unbiased view of The Troubles , offering an insight into the tragedies experienced by both communities in Belfast.

You’ll also hear what it was like to live through The Troubles from a person that experienced the good and bad of the last 40 or so years.

3. A look at Belfast’s Murals

Perhaps the most unlikely attraction to come from the Troubles, was the murals that can now be found dotted around Belfast.

Some of the common themes and depictions include of Bobby Sands, Frederick Douglass, the Red Hand of Ulster and Jackie Coulter, amongst many others.

Stop 1 Shankill Road Murals

Your Belfast Murals Tour begins in the Shankill Road area of Belfast which is (Protestant/British), where your Black Taxi Cab driver will explain a detailed history of the area. We begin in 1690, when William of orange arrived in Ireland to defeat King James the 2nd at the famous Battle Of The Boyne. There will then be an explanation about the recent troubles, which started in 1969 and ended when the peace agreement was signed in 1998. You will go for a short walk around the area, where your black taxi cab driver will explain the loyalist murals Belfast has in the area and what they represent. You will have the opportunity to take your own photographs of the Belfast murals.

Stop 2 Peace Walls

The peace walls were designed to separate the Catholic (Nationalist) and Protestant (Unionist) populations in Belfast. The first ‘peace lines’ were erected, following the outbreak of violence in 1969 in Northern Ireland. They were built as temporary structures, meant to last only six months. Due to their effective nature they were built higher, longer, and made permanent and are still here today. The peace walls are adorned with art and messages of hope from tourists.

Stop 3 Falls Road Murals

You will visit Clonard Martyrs Memorial garden in Bombay Street in the black taxi cab tour. Bombay Street in Belfast is where some say the modern troubles began when Catholics were burnt out of their homes. This is also where the Provisional IRA was formed. Each section of this garden will be explained in detail and the reasons it exists. The next stop on the tour will be Sinn Fein press office, which is the site of one of the most iconic Falls Road murals of the Bobby Sands mural. You will hear about the history of Bobby Sands and the Irish hunger strike in the Maze Prison in 1981.

Stop 4 The International Wall

A Black Taxi Tour of Belfast

Last Updated on April 4, 2024

Estimated reading time: 18 minutes

Updated for 2023

By Jim Ferri

My Black Taxi tour of Belfast began with one of the most unusual introductions I’d ever had to a European city.

“It’s the most bombed hotel in all of Europe, Jim” my black-taxi driver Ken, told me, pointing to Belfast’s Europa Hotel .

“It was bombed 33 times during ‘the troubles,” he said, using the British euphemism for the civil war that plagued Northern Ireland for so many years.

In fact, more than 3,500 people lost their lives here from the late 1960s until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

Things are calm now in the capital of Northern Ireland, and as I was whisked around Belfast on my Black Taxi tour, Ken continued chitchatting about numerous sights we passed.

As all Black Taxi drivers in Belfast are apt to do, he infused his commentary with heavy doses of local lore, gossip and, humor.

Black Taxi tours show more than “the troubles” and politics, however. They can take you all over the city and even beyond. The standard tour lasts about 90 minutes, and driver-guides will pick you up and drop you off anywhere in the city.

There are also day tours to Giant’s Causeway (one of the seven wonders of the world) and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, both up on the Coast Road , as well to the Bushmills Whiskey Distillery .

Tours will also take you to see the Titanic shipyard and a day-long tour to see the Northern Ireland locations where Game of Thrones was filmed. It’s one of many such tours that have sprung up over the years.

A Fascinating City

With Ken’s help, and later on my own for an additional day, I found Belfast to be an unexpectedly fascinating city. It’s a capital that’s full of charm and beauty, vitality, and spirit. For those who want a taste of it (highly recommended), Belfast is also an easy day trip from Dublin by train .

Before I had hopped into the back of Ken’s Black Taxi, I had wandered about the city a bit on my own. From my hotel I first set off to St. George’s Market , the city’s historic food market where I was disappointed to find it was open only on Saturdays.

I continued walking to Victoria Square , a upscale shopping mall flush with American and European brand names. One can’t help but admire how well all its soaring glass and steel melds so wonderfully with the old neighborhood into which it had been slipped.

After a quick look, I headed off to the much-heralded Titanic Museum , a massive monument of soaring steel and glass that dominates the neighborhood.

Everything about it had a nautical theme, from the quartet of ship bows on the exterior, down to the anchor chains that line the entrance way and guide you into the lobby. Even the ticket windows are large portholes in rough-sawn pier planking.

The museum itself was mesmerizing, unlike any other non-art museum I’d visited. There’s also an introductory section discussing Belfast at the time the ill-fated liner was built, which is a great historic and cultural overview of the city and people.

Rescued By Ken for His Black Taxi Tour of Belfast

It was after I left the Titanic Museum, when I became a bit lost and overwhelmed by the city, that I met Ken.

I had a contact at the Northern Ireland Tourist Board , and she got us together for a Black Taxi tour. Since the tours are internationally famous, I was surprised I hadn’t thought of it myself. It turned out to be the best way not only to become acquainted with the city, but the best thing to do in Belfast.

Ken collected me at my hotel, the somewhat funky Malmaison , and since I enjoy minutia, he quickly caught my attention when he told me that the building was originally a seed warehouse. It dated to 1867, he noted, and the five heads on the facade represented the five continents of the world.

We taxied up Victoria Street past the landmark Albert Memorial Clock (“built in 1869, Jim, in memory of Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband, who died of typhoid fever”). He also shared that it was slowly sinking into the ground since it was built on land reclaimed from the river. “Presently, Jim, it’s off center about four feet (1.25 m).”

Off To the Cathedral and Writer’s Square

We were soon off to Belfast Cathedral , aka St. Anne’s Cathedral, a beautiful church that has a 130-foot stainless steel spire protruding through a glass platform above the altar. Incongruous as it may seem, it’s an amazing sight inside a beautiful church.

Ken then walked me across the street to Writer’s Square. There, inscribed in stone at various points, are quotations from 27 deceased Northern Ireland authors. It’s a poignant and perfect way to pay tribute to the city’s literary past. Being a writer myself, my Black Taxi tour was getting increasingly more fascinating.

After Ken had found a place to park his Black Taxi, we continued on foot back across to Talbot Street, where Ken had two special places to show me.

On the way, just a minute or so up the street adjacent to the Cathedral, we passed the Northern Ireland War Memorial . It’s actually a little privately funded storefront museum, dedicated to the home front during World War II.

Although It was rather basic and very small, it was still interesting, with most of it dedicated to Americans who served in Belfast during the war.

The Dark Horse and Duke of York

We continued and turned onto Hill Street where Ken took me into the Dark Horse . It is a sandwich and coffee house that appears unassuming from the outside, but inside it is like no other.

Just about everything in it was an antique…the tables, the decorations, the bar, even the loo, although the plumbing was modern. It was a living antique shop, a great place for a sandwich and coffee.

Once outside again, he brought me into the alleyway next door that had murals on the walls depicting day life in the city. As we traveled about Belfast on my Black Taxi Tour, we saw many such murals.

But what Ken wanted to show me, was the Duke of York Tavern around the corner.

The Duke of York is the sister establishment of the Dark Horse. It was destroyed in the early 1970s when the IRA planted a car bomb outside it.

It was rebuilt (a marvelous job) and today it’s once again a popular and comfortable pub. Behind the bar are over 100 varieties of different whiskeys, as well as plenty of wine and beer.

Ken took me to the Duke of York since I had told him I was interested in seeing and learning more about “the troubles” in Northern Ireland. He continued my education as we drove west toward the famous neighborhoods.

“From 1969 to 1994, about 15,500 bombs were set off by the IRA in Northern Ireland,” he told me. “And as the capital, Belfast got its fair share. It was the luck of the draw who lived and who died since bombs were placed indiscriminately.”

The Most Popular Stop on the Black Taxi Tours

After a short ride we arrived in the old Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods where political murals still cover many walls.

We stopped along the wall that was built by British soldiers to separate the Irish and the British factions. Union Jacks and Irish flags were still flying at opposite ends of the street.

You don’t find murals only in the Catholic and Protestant Neighborhoods, however. You come across them in different areas all over the city.

I realized I wouldn’t have seen any of them, as well as the Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods, if I hadn’t taken a Black Taxi tour of Belfast.

Ken then headed off to Queen’s Quarter to show me stately Queen’s University , the Botanical Gardens and the Ulster Museum.

They’re all located right next to one another on University and Stranmills Roads. All along the way were plenty of little restaurants and coffeehouses.

In the midst of it all, was Friars Bush Graveyard , a burial ground possibly dating back to pre-Christian times. It appeared to be a beautiful place to take a walk. Unfortunately, it’s only open by appointment and for scheduled tours.

The Crown Liquor Saloon

Heading back down to Great Victoria Street, we pulled over at the corner of Amelia Street.

I had asked Ken to stop since I wanted to see the renowned Crown Liquor Saloon , built in 1840. It also had a good afternoon crowd and inside I found one of the more ornate pubs in Belfast.

All about was Italian tile, fine glass engraving, opulent marble, and an embossed ceiling. Cozy booths are snuggled up along the side. I later learned the panels in its restaurant were originally designed for the Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic.

I was soon receiving more Black-Taxi insider info from Ken. It was the wife of the owner, not her husband, Ken told me, who chose the name “Crown.” But her husband, not enthralled with British royalty, had a crown embedded in the tile at the doorway. His reason was that he wanted people to scuff their feet on it when they entered.

The area of Belfast about the Saloon is quite alive and filled with both Belfastians as well as tourists. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and live Irish music at some of the pubs in the evenings. Robinson’s Bar, right next to the Crown Liquor Saloon, offers live music every night of the week.

Another Stop on Our Taxi Tour: The Great Room Restaurant

Five minutes later we stopped at the Merchant Hotel since Ken wanted to show me the hotel’s Great Room Restaurant . The hotel was the former headquarters of Ulster Bank, and the restaurant is in the main banking hall of the building. The room, a blend of Victorian and Art Deco, is spectacular.

When we returned to the Malmaison at the end of our Black Taxi tour of Belfast, Ken had me look down Victoria Street towards the mountains in the distance.

I didn’t see it right away, but not until he mentioned Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels . Then I immediately saw the silhouette of the sleeping Gulliver lying down with his face looking up towards the sky.

Although Swift was a Dubliner, Ken told me, he was a Church of Ireland minister, and his church was on the other side of that mountain. According to local legend, Swift had been visiting in Belfast when he looked up at the rock formation. The formation is called Napoleon’s nose locally, since it looks like a silhouette of the French emperor. And looking at Napoleon’s nose is where Swift got the inspiration for his novel.

When I returned home, I researched the legend and found the place in Belfast where Swift is said to have been standing at the time of his inspiration. It was, quite appropriately, on Lilliput Street.

Choosing a Black Taxi Tour of Belfast

Belfast’s Black Taxi tours are one of the best things to do in Belfast and are exceptionally popular with visitors. Interestingly, when we all began traveling again after the pandemic, it was Belfastians who began taking Black Taxi Tours. Now thousands of international travelers are joining them. They come by car, plane, train, and cruise ships.

There are just a few companies offering Black Taxi tours. While they may visit most of the same places, you need to read the fine print on each of their sites. For example, some will provide a free pick-up throughout the central part of the city. Others require you to come to a pickup point or there will be an extra charge. There are differences in pricing, as well.

The following are the best-known companies, listed in random order. Note that all prices are in British pounds since Northern Ireland is part of the British Empire, and not part of Ireland, which uses the Euro. Also note that many of the company names and web addresses are very similar, so be cautious when reviewing them.

Belfast Black Cab Tour

A Belfast Black Cab Tour is not just a means of transportation; it’s an opportunity to delve into the fascinating history and culture of this vibrant city. As you embark on this unique tour, you’ll find yourself transported back in time, exploring the origins of Belfast’s political murals.

These murals offer poignant reminders of Belfast’s troubled past and the conflicts that once divided communities. Created during the height of the Troubles, they serve as visual representations of political and cultural identities, reflecting the hopes, fears, and aspirations of the people.

A Journey Through Belfast’s Streets

Our Belfast Black Cab Tour begins by winding through the narrow streets of Belfast, with each turn unveiling a new mural that tells a different story. The famous Falls Road and Shankill Road are two of the areas where murals are most concentrated, and your knowledgeable guide will provide insight into the significance of each piece of art.

As we pass by the murals, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the vibrant colors, intricate details, and powerful messages they convey. From murals depicting historical events to those commemorating individuals who lost their lives in the conflict, each artwork has its own tale to tell.

The Impact of Political Murals Today

While Belfast’s political murals serve as a reminder of the city’s troubled past, they also play a vital role in promoting understanding, dialogue, and reconciliation. Today, these once-divisive artworks have become symbols of unity and hope.

As you take in the murals, you’ll witness first hand how they have evolved over time. Many artists have moved away from depicting violent scenes and have chosen to focus on themes of peace, community, and cultural diversity. These modern murals not only inspire conversation but also contribute to the vibrant transformation of Belfast as a city. So Join us on a Belfast Black Cab Tour

The 5 best sightseeing tours of buckingham palace.

See one of Britain's top attractions on a walking, biking, bus or private taxi tour.

The Best Tours of Buckingham Palace

Getty Images

On a visit to London , some of the top attractions are linked to the royal family. But nothing is quite as iconic as a visit to the one of the three official residences of the monarchy – Buckingham Palace . While it's only open to the public on select dates, you can relish in its beauty from the regal gates, snap a selfie and catch a Changing the Guard ceremony.

How to Tour Buckingham Palace

For about 10 weeks every summer (select dates from July 11 to Sept. 29, 2024), Buckingham Palace opens its elaborate gates, welcoming visitors to explore its lavish State Rooms, grounds and Royal Collection artworks. The Royal Mews is also open to visitors from March to October, showcasing the Royal Family's real working stables and ornate, historic carriages – including the Gold State Coach used for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Coronation in 2022.

If you aren't here at the right time, fear not; this extravagant, 18th-century royal residence is just as impressive from the outside, making it worth a visit any time of year. Check online for a current schedule of the Changing the Guard ceremony – when the red-and-black-clad Royal Guard marches toward the palace, accompanied by striking military music – and see a tradition that's been running for more than 300 years. Combine it with explorations in the surrounding area of Westminster to see London at its most quintessential.

You can explore all of this independently, of course – but if you're looking to dig a little deeper, hear about the king's coronation and uncover local secrets, consider a guided London tour . Insider experts can point out the best photo spots, take you to the must-see sights and show you the ins and outs of the area, while sharing knowledge of the country's royal history along the way.

There are tons of options out there, so where do you start? Based on local knowledge and traveler review sites, here are some of the most highly rated tours.

Changing of the Guard Walking Tour

Price: From $13 Duration: 2 to 3 hours Standout perk: Witness the pomp of the iconic Changing the Guard ceremony.

Watch the Royal Guard march toward Buckingham Palace as you witness this historic, quintessentially British spectacle on a tour of Westminster's highlights. Accompanied by a military band, you'll see the Old Guard (soldiers on duty) switch to the New Guard as they arrive at the palace from Wellington Barracks. Your guide will explain which regiment is which, before taking you on a guided walking tour past other world-famous, attractions, including Big Ben, Clarence House, the Houses of Parliament , St James's Palace and Westminster Abbey .

Recent travelers gave high ratings to the tour, saying guides were able to take them to the best photo spots for the ceremony while offering a wealth of historical and entertaining insight.

Tours leave at 10 a.m. and depart from the Victoria Palace Theatre. The outings end at Parliament Square.

Local tip: Look at the Horse Guards Clock on the Horse Guards Parade – the official entrance to Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace – to see a dark stain above the 2 (II, in Roman numerals). It marks the time King Charles I was executed outside the Palace of Whitehall in 1649, after being charged with treason.

Check prices & availability on:

Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle Tour

Price: From $161 Duration: 8.5 hours Standout perk: Get a rare chance to explore the State Rooms with Buckingham Palace tickets, and tick off two of the United Kingdom's grandest royal residences in one day.

This twin-castle tour offers the opportunity to enter Buckingham Palace and see its State Rooms, Royal Collection artwork and other treasures, with commentary from an audio guide. After you've toured the palace, you'll travel by coach about 25 miles west of London to Windsor Castle – the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, and the family home of the monarchy for more than 900 years. Explore the castle's lavish State Apartments and grounds, and visit St George's Chapel – the burial place of Queen Elizabeth II alongside many other monarchs, and the spot where Prince Harry married Meghan Markle.

Recent travelers said the tour was a great opportunity to see inside both palaces. Several commented on the extensive art collection at Buckingham Palace, and many enjoyed hearing insights from the guides, although some complained about long lines.

The tour takes place from July through September on select Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and leaves from Victoria Coach Station at 7:45 a.m.

Local tip: Windsor Castle has its own Changing the Guard ceremony, as well as its own extensive art collection. The ceremony takes place at 11 a.m. on select days of the week.

Best of London Tour Including Tower of London and Changing of the Guard

Price: From $144; with optional London Eye or Harrods cream tea for an additional fee Duration: 9 hours Standout perk: You'll see many of London's key attractions in one day, and enjoy a river cruise thrown in for good measure.

If you want to combine a visit to see Buckingham Palace's Changing the Guard ceremony with stops at several other London spots, this is a great choice. The full-day trip begins at the UNESCO listed Tower of London where you'll have the chance to see the crown jewels.

From here, you'll visit Buckingham Palace to witness the famous pomp and pageantry of the ceremony and get the chance to admire the palace's impressive architecture from the outside. The day includes a tour of the elaborate St. Paul's Cathedral (not available on Sundays), before embarking on a boat tour of the Thames, passing key attractions including Tower Bridge and Shakespeare's Globe. The day also includes a photo stop at Westminster Abbey, where Prince William and Kate Middleton married in 2011, and a brief walking tour of Parliament Square. Travelers can choose to add a ride on the famous London Eye observation wheel (or opt for a quintessentially British cream tea at Harrods instead).

Recent travelers loved the tour and praised the guides as highly knowledgeable and entertaining. Many were impressed with how much they saw in a day and said it gave them a great introduction to London (although it's worth noting a few felt there was quite a bit of walking involved).

Tours leave from Victoria Coach Station at 7:45 a.m. and finish at the London Eye.

Local tip: If you fancy delving deeper into the Tower of London in your own time, book a ticket to see the Ceremony of the Keys. Dating back seven centuries, this nightly ceremony is when the castle gets locked up for the night, with a special exchange between the sentry and Yeoman Warder taking place at 9:30 p.m. between the atmospheric battlements – both eerie and magical.

London: Explore the Parks and Palaces on a Morning Bike Tour

Price: From $37 Duration: 3.5 hours Standout perk: Get active on two wheels, and combine a Buckingham Palace stop with a visit to Kensington Palace and other royal sights.

This half-day guided cycling tour is a great option to get active on your London trip. You'll start at Kensington Gardens – the home of Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived with the now King Charles, and Queen Victoria's birthplace. From here, pedal to the Royal Albert Hall to check out this elaborate concert hall, opened by Queen Victoria in 1871. Afterward, cycle through Hyde Park and on to Green Park to reach Buckingham Palace, where your guide will regale you with little-known stories about the palace. Continue on to Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben as you take in some of the capital's key highlights, before returning to the Royal Parks.

Recent travelers raved about the tour and were impressed by the guides' knowledge. Many enjoyed the small group size and said the cycling was a good, leisurely pace, with plenty to see along the way, and iced tea and snacks included as a bonus.

The tour leaves from outside the main entrance at Hilton London Hyde Park. The recommended minimum age is 9 – you can pre-book junior bikes and child seats. While the bicycle and helmet for use during the tour are included, attraction entry fees are additional.

Local tip: If you've got time after the tour, it's well worth exploring Kensington Palace a bit more. Admire the elaborate, Georgian-era King's Staircase and the King's State Gallery with its fine art collection, see the Queen's State Apartments where Mary II would come to relax or welcome guests, and visit the Sunken Garden, once a favorite spot of Princess Diana's. After, enjoy afternoon tea or lunch at the Kensington Palace Pavilion amid the gardens.

The Premier Classic London: Private 4-Hour Tour in a Black Cab

Price: From $482 Duration: 4 hours Standout perk: You'll see many of London's must-see attractions, and as it's a private tour, you can tailor the trip to your liking.

If you're after a private tour, this half-day trip in a classic London black cab is just the ticket.

You can choose to align your visit to Buckingham Palace with a Changing the Guard ceremony, and you'll get expert commentary from your personal taxi driver, who's also a registered tour guide. Alongside the palace, you'll pass must-see points including the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St James's Palace, the Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus, Shakespeare's Globe, Borough Market and Covent Garden , with options to stop along the way.

Recent travelers loved the tour and said guides were able to tailor the trip, stopping at spots both on and off the tourist trail and offering plenty of historical insight.

Your driver-guide can pick you up and drop you off at your hotel; or a central London location.

Local tip: Make a stop at Borough Market to try some of the best food in the city, with more than 100 stalls offering everything from Persian to Italian, alongside plenty of fresh produce.

How best to drive a taxi in Moscow

Moscow is a huge metropolis – the capital of the Russian Federation is three times as large and has three times as many inhabitants as Berlin, for example. Of course, getting from A to B is an important topic for visitors and locals alike. The metro is certainly the number one form of transportation in the Russian mega city. But as practical as the subway may be: in the rush hour it can get damn stuffy on the trains – especially in the city center and on the ring line the trains burst at the seams in the morning and in the evening and sometimes you have wait to be able to get in at all. In addition, you cannot get to the airport by metro. The most obvious solution is certainly the taxi. As a foreigner, you have to know a lot about Moscow and taxis. In Soviet times, taxis were affordable, but not competitive in comparison to heavily subsidized public transport. In addition, taxi drivers had a bad reputation and often questionable work ethic. Hardly everyone drove a taxi in Moscow and there were accordingly few. The development in the wild nineties, which were economically difficult for Russia, in which even many doctors, engineers and scientists had to earn something as taxi drivers, was quite different. The so-called “bombily” (from the Russian word bombit’, to earn something extra) came into service. It became common practice that as a pedestrian on the side of the road you only had to keep your hand out and stop a (usually unmarked) taxi or a bombila in a matter of minutes. A short negotiation about the price and you’re on your way. In 2011, the Moscow city administration estimated that in addition to the 5,000 licensed taxis, at least ten times as many black taxis were on the move.

«Black» taxis – not advisable for tourists

For tourists, especially inexperienced Russia, these taxis are anything but advisable. At first you will have communication problems even with kindly Bombila-drivers without knowledge of Russian. Even with proper school Russian, as a tourist you lack the local knowledge and an idea of ​​the usual prices – which is why you are almost at the mercy of the many black sheep among the «black» taxi drivers.

However, if you have sufficient knowledge of Russian, are clear about the exact route beforehand and can still negotiate well, it may be worth trying the «black» taxis. Because of the increasingly popular taxi apps, the «black» taxis are a slowly but surely dying phenomenon. As a rule of thumb, you shouldn’t pay more than 500 rubles for a trip within Moscow and if the driver demands too much, just keep going.

Taxi apps: Gett, Yandex, or Uber?

Equipped with a SIM card and mobile internet, it is certainly the best option as a tourist to get around using the taxi app. The world’s leading provider Uber only plays a subordinate role in Russia. Although the app also exists in Russia, Uber works here in cooperation with the local top dog Yandex Taxi. Yandex is often referred to as the Russian Google and is also very popular as a taxi service. The Yandex app works similarly to that of Uber. You can see in advance the fare to be paid later, the license plate as well as the vehicle type and the driver’s previous ratings. However, at Yandex you can pay not only with a credit card, but also in cash with the driver. The prices that Yandex calls in Moscow for the so-called Eco tariff are very moderate. The basic fare, which includes a five-minute journey and three kilometers, is 129 rubles, or about $ 1.81. Each additional kilometer then costs 10 rubles, i.e. $ 0.14. Trips to Moscow airports are billed at the normal tariff. However, a pick-up fee of 449 rubles, i.e. $ 6.32, has to be paid from the major international airports Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo to the city. The standard fare will be 8 rubles per 1 km and 8 rubles per 1 minute. Of course, Yandex also offers high-quality transport, analogous to Uber’s offer. From the business tariff, in which you are chauffeured in a limousine from 349 rubles ($ 4.91), to the so-called ultimate tariff, in which you drive through in a Mercedes S-Class from 1899 rubles ($ 26.75) Moscow is driven, the Yandex offer knows no limits. Even vehicles specially equipped for transport for children, with special paint can be ordered via the app. Gett’s competition offers a similar range of products at generally lower prices. The cheapest service in vehicles of the VW Polo class currently starts at 99 rubles ($ 1.39). Trips to Moscow airports cost almost a quarter less than Yandex at 350 rubles ($ 4.93). The VIP service with vehicles that include the BMW 7 Series, the S-Class or the Audi A8 is also significantly more affordable at 700 rubles ($ 9.86) – even if fewer inclusive kilometers are included in the price.

Classic taxi services: Rare and usually only on order

Taxis in the western sense are rarely seen in Moscow. Just wave a taxi up from the street like in Berlin, London or New York? This is rather unlikely because there are simply too few taxis. You have to order a classic taxi in Moscow beforehand. Despite the competition from «black» taxis and the increasingly popular apps, there are still numerous companies that offer this. However, it is usually impossible to order one of these taxis without knowledge of Russian. Services that are specially designed for tourists and foreign business travelers can usually be paid for dearly. Therefore, as a tourist, unless you prefer a taxi app from the start, you leave the order to the hotel or local friends.
