Before you go
Connectivity
Mobile phone coverage and internet are available through Russian providers. Check with your carrier for roaming arrangements in Russia.
Culture
Local Sharia law prohibits public alcohol consumption. Beer can only be sold legally between 08:00-10:00. Dress modestly when visiting mosques and religious sites.
Money
Prices are generally cheap due to the regional war's economic impact. Russian rubles (RUB) are used. Credit cards may have limited acceptance outside major hotels.
Safety
Grozny is no longer a warzone and is considered as safe as other parts of Russia, but beware of unexploded ordnance in some areas.
Transport
Car travel is most practical as public transport remains limited. The Islam taxi company operates green-painted cars. Trolley buses have restarted but coverage is incomplete.
