The trains themselves are OK, and come frequently. It is very important to have a guide, unless you read Cyrillic. Really enjoyable Soviet-era experience.

One side — dirty, crowdy, full of beggars, depressing, poor navigation. The other side — some stations are masterpieces of Soviet-era architecture. — officially, you can shoot in the metro with any equipment, but only if you are not using tripod for your camera and not interfering with passengers — which is quite impossible. So — no tripods; — night... More

Our tour guide arranged a good schedule for us - getting on at one station - off at the next. One would think they were in a museum to see the different stations, beautiful art and statues, and chandeliers. We ended up at Arabat Street for lunch. So glad we saw this.

Moscow metro is intricately decorated. All stations are not the same. It is heavily guarded by police but beware of large crowd traveling through.

You have to use the Moscow Metro. In my opinion it is a museum in itself. Try to avoid rush hour as there are so many people and you won`t have time to admire the beauty. One of the Metro`s have brass statues...don`t forget to rub the nose of the dogs...it is good luck. In some places the info is... More

The Moscow metro may seem intimidating at first, but it is extremely easy to use with frequent trains and clean stations. It is best to go prepared with a map and know how the station's name as it appears in Russian or count the number of stops. Ticket offices are at most stops, but the automatic ticket machines are also... More
