Taking the subway in Moscow is not your usual RATP, Tube or Translink experience. It is a journey back in the past.

The metro stations are true artistic masterpieces: frescoed ceilings, mosaic tiles, stainless steel pillars and crystal chandeliers.

Your fellow passengers will be revolutionary heroes, joyful, productive workers and of course, Peter the Great and Vladimir Ilych Lenin themselves.

Don’t miss the following stations in particular: Mayakovskaya, Poloshchad Revolyustsii, Kievskaya and Belorusskaya.
