This is the cleanest Metro I have ever seen in my life (I have visited more than 47 countries around the world).
Punctuality is also another great thing here, I was told that the maximum waiting time is 2 minutes for any metro line, and I can confirm the same as I used more than 8 different lines.
Two thumbs up 👍👍

I visited the subway for the first time since I moved to Moscow. My eyes admired every millimeter. Afterwards I watched a documentary about how the metro was built, I recommend watching it. This is such an unsurpassed scale, it will take your breath away!

Each metro stop is like taking a step into a different museum with the walls and ceilings magnificently designed. There are over 200 stations in Moscow's metro system but only the minority are awe-inspiring. Be prepared to share train carriages with the masses but gratefully the trains are every few minutes.

Architecturally magnificent stations, absolute masterpieces. You go down several escalators for long minutes and find yourself among masterpieces, from the most central to the most peripheral. Neat and clean beyond belief. And all this would be 5 stars.

But I don't forget the swearing to find access when you're out and about, and above all to understand where you are and where you need to go. If you don't understand a word of Russian, nor can you read it, it's impossible for you to understand and memorize the names of places. You cannot find employees, both from the Metro and from Security, who speak English and who can give you even the slightest indication in a language you can remotely understand.

And on a more painful note, without a ticket it is impossible to enter, if we decide to embrace capitalism then let's do it with all our boots, we must foresee that there is the ignorant who decides not to pay so don't give a f**k or and let us climb over.

When planning your metro route, avoid the Green Line. Air conditioners work in 25 degree frost! It's incredibly cold! Moreover, in the summer, one of the most stuffy branches! The trains are old, they rattle so much that you can’t hear anything in your headphones at full volume.

On November days, I took a tour of the BCL of my 🇮🇹Italian friends to show the latest trends in the architectural design of Moscow Metro stations. And while boasting that we've swamped 114 ultra-modern stations in the last 13 years!!!☝️☝️☝️☝️ And what super-duper trains have transported us - clean, light, with monitors, seat charges and wide doorways.

The main problem is pointers. Not only are they mostly only in Russian, but often they are frankly wrong or not enough. Navigating the Moscow metro is quite difficult. There are usually several exits from the stations and it is impossible to understand which one you need to get off to get to the right place on the street. Some of the carriages are very old and do not have the normal incomprehensible schemes of metro lines. There are modern cars, but they often have a radio announcer, luminous scoreboards and maps give different information about what the next station will be)) A lot of money was spent on the lurid decoration of stations, often really expensive. But at the same time, very poor technical equipment compared to high-tech subways in other countries

The metro tour takes you to metro stations which look like palaces. It is built during the peak of communist regime, as palaces for the people. Some of the metro stations are so deep , it serves dual purpose of underground transit and nuclear bomb shelter. They say you can evacuate entire moscow in 15 minutes to these underground stations. Stations have chandeliers, paintings , sculptures, just like a museum. these items are reminiscent of the communist past, with sickle and hammer donning the prominent places. Novoslobodskaya metro station looked like a church from inside, with glass paintings resembling a roman catholic church. but these paintings are of general items and communist symbols. Truly worth a visit. By taking a Troika card, you can visit all these metro stations for just Ruble 38 which is just over half a dollar or may be 40-45 indian rupees. Unlike Delhi or indian metro, In moscow metro, one has to swipe the card only at entry for a standard fare of Ruble 38 and no need to swipe at exit. so you can keep changing stations to stations in the underground without exiting for just 38 rubles. And yes moscow metro trains show maps which has russian and english inscriptions and the announcement is also in russian and english. So no problem at att.

The Moscow Metro, in addition to being remarkably efficient and frequent (departures every 2-3 minutes at most main stations, you just have to be aware of the closing times after midnight) and economical (we purchased troika cards and recharged as necessary) also contains a number of wonderful stations filled with Stalin era art and sculptures and architecture. It is easy to do your own on line research to see which stations you would like to see and then either spend a few hours going from one to the next (in which case it is exceptionally cheap as you are only charged a single fare if you do not exit the system), or just add in detours to the stations during your other travels. Even at relatively busy times we found that if we hung around for a few minutes we could get an opportunity for photos with not many people or you could choose to include the large crowds in the picture. The very long escalators at some stations are also a feature in themselves.

You will be surprised to see some of the Moscow metro stations. More like a museum with amazing architecture. Long impressive escalators, not overcrowded trains (unless middle of rush hour), very well priced with the troyka card.
If you have been in crowded, small, dirty metro of New-York, London, etc... you will be positively surprised in Moscow!
