The decor on the Metro is spectacular and well worth exploring. We had travelled on it before our group organised visit which took in the stations with the most impressive decor.

I've heard about the Moscow metro stations my whole life and they did not disappoint. In some stations, there are mosaics on the ceiling all in the correct perspective. There are plane flying over your head, apple trees with ladders to climb to pick the apples, parachutists falling through the air looking like they might land on you. The one,... More

Most metro stations in Central Moscow are museums by themselves. There are brilliant sculptures and many more pieces of art effects. It is must visit. Spend at least half day if not more to visit these stations

Moscow metro is the most artistic metro in the world! Where else you'll find stations decorated with paintings, mosaics or sculptures? What to speak about special trains which make you to feel yourself as in Tretyakov Gallery!

Most of the metro stations have been well designed and are mini works of urban art. Revolutionary Square was my favourite you've just got to rub those brass statues. Travel around and find your own favourite. There are trips when you can pay to be taken around but why would you want to do that. For 28 roubles you buy... More

It's the only option to travel fast around Moscow at any hour when metro is operating. Of course it is not as comfortable as taxi or personal car - there is no conditioning in most of trains, it smells in some trains, there are tons of people in peak-hours (and if you do not know your way you'll be carried...

The pros of taking the Metro are tremendous to get around Moscow. You do need a good map to get around. The cons are the names of the stations are in Cyrillic. I counted the number of stops I had go before I got off. They have an electrical board over the doorway which tells you where you are at.... More

Being a Londoner I am we'll versed with the tube. But the Moscow Metro is a different experience. The architecture is awesome and well worth a day looking round all the different stations (as we did on a rainy day) It's cheap- buy a book of 10 journeys for around £2.50 from the ticket machine, and really easy to navigate....

Each station we stop had different kind of art: sculpture, paints, mosaic! Everything is soooo nice! Also the lamps. And the Metro itself, it 2 minutes one train!!!

Absolutely reliable and efficient. It gets packed during the peak hours but you will get a train every 40-50 seconds. It is by far the best subway system I have been so far but the noise in the train may be overwhelming. And it has an easy-to-understand map
