The Moscow Metro isn't just transportation—it's an underground museum. Stations from the 1930s-50s are decorated with marble, mosaics, sculptures, and chandeliers—these are "palaces for the people," designed as symbols of Soviet grandeur.

The most beautiful stations: Mayakovskaya with its sky mosaics, Komsomolskaya with baroque ceilings, Novoslobodskaya with stained glass, and Ploshchad Revolyutsii with sculptures. Each station is a unique work of art.

The metro operates from 5:30 AM to 1:00 AM. Tours of historic stations are available for tourists. Moscow Metro is one of the world's busiest, carrying about 9 million passengers daily.
