Moscow Metro, Central Russia, Russia
4.5 (17.1k reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Moscow Architectural Buildings • Public Transportation Systems
Highly efficient Underground art galleries from Stalin era
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!
