I stayed in Moscow for 5 weeks and at first was a bit daunted by the dark underground train system which I used almost every day. However once I realised that everyone is very well behaved and minding their own business, and that the train is not going to crash (even though it seems to go very fast) then I... more

Yes, the metro mustn't be missed. The most beautiful stations are around the loop, so just take a ride around and hop off at an interesting station if you are pressed for time. Anyway, cars come every 45 seconds, so you can hop back on if you don't like the station. Also the major stations ( the 2 large inter-changing... more

I used metro in Moscow and St. Petersburg. They were not so difficult as expected. My tips how to use moscow metro. 1. Print station and line no. in Russian. Ignore English. 2. In Moscow. We can buy each ride 22 Rub at KACCA (booth). Or we can buy more rides for cheaper. I bought 2 rides (44 Rub) to... more

We found Moscow very beatiful.The efficiency with the way trains all run on time is excellent.Lucky I could read russian as getting around a Metro is like a maze for a person that has no knowledge of the language and if you ask directions people are not very willing to help.I found people mostly sad and in their own world.It... more

We did a self-guided tour of the Moscow Metro stations and it was well worth the time and effort. People were so helpful when we had trouble getting to the correct level to find the correct subway line. It was indeed as interesting and beautiful as the descriptions we had read. I thought the lines were very efficient and if... more

The preceding four reviewers all focused on the Moscow Metro's station art as the key drawcard. It is undeniably important, even if only as a record of a now in theory departed but possibly still partially present totalitarian state. However I went for a different reason: to observe the busiest urban rail system in the world, with about nine million... more

Perhaps some of the metro stations are worth a closer look, but if you are like me you would rather have a metro system that is efficient, easy to use, clean and gets you from A to B as cheaply and fast as possible. At least I am not really interested in spending too much time examining aging metro stations... more

If you go to Moscow be sure to take the Metro. Is easy to use, cheaper then a cab, and has many beautiful stations at the stops within the brown ring (constisting of marble, artwork, bronze statues...thanks to stalin) The cost is 19R one way. Buy a scan card at the booth and ask for a Metro map. To get... more

The Moscow Metro has been undergoing a lengthy facelift on some of its Stations. Some of the Stations have been closed down for serious renovation, and hopefully for the better. The Moscow Metro is a worthwhile experience to look at each Station for its style and decoration. Some are still in the old school Communist decor, while others are more... more
