Stop At: Moscow Metro, Moscow Russia
You will be met at your centrally located hotel by one of our knowledgeable guides, who will first take you on a short metro tour right to Tretyakov Gallery.
Moscow’s Metro stations together amount to the most beautiful public transport facility in the world. Visitors to Moscow should not miss taking a ride on this glorious underground rail system, and exploring the stations. Each one has its own distinct aesthetic identity, variously adorned with Realist artworks, chandeliers, ornate pillars and marble floors. By the number of passengers transported per day, which is about 7 million people per day, the Moscow metro surpasses all the subways of the world. Despite this, the stations are more akin to palaces or 5-star hotel lobbies rather than functional spaces. The depth of the elevators is also astounding.
