Moscow is a safe city with a developed infrastructure and an efficient public transport system.
However, in Moscow, as in any big city, some caution is required, especially during public events (eg football matches, nightly concerts, etc.). Pickpocketing still exists, especially in public transport, nightclubs and music concerts. The risks in Moscow are no higher than the risks in a big city in the US, Canada or Europe. If you are careful and vigilant, you will not have problems.
We recommend to follow the rules:
The emergency number for mobile phones is "112".
A call from a mobile phone is free of change and possible even if the number is blocked lack of money and no SIM card is inserted into the phone.
When you call, stay calm. After connection, the voice answering machine will work. The text of the message is reproduced in Russian and English.
The text of the message in English: “To connect with the fire and rescue service, press key 1; with the police - press the key 2; with an ambulance - press the key 3; with gas service - press key 4".
If you listen to the answering machine message twice and do not press any key, the call will be directed to the 112 multichannel number.
The operator will then ask you to answer some questions. Answer clearly. Do not hang up when the operator says: "Wait, hold on the line."
In a life-threatening situation, the operator will continue to ask questions while rescuers go to the you.
