|  | Chandeliers, sculptures and mosaics make the Moscow metro an extraordinary prelude to the city's other beauties.
In the heart of Moscow
The Kremlin, Red Square and Lenin's Tomb: monumental sites deserve exceptional stations. Like a patriotic song, the bronze statues at Ploshchad Revolutsii station and the paintings in Teatralnaya glorify the history of the Russian people.
Cultural itinerary
Two stations identify with Russian culture. The 1930's style Kropotkinskaya leads to the beautiful Pushkin museum. At the entrance to the Sportivnaya station, you'll find the Museum on the History of the Metro. |

At Park Kultury, marble walls and medallions celebrate leisure activities such as can be enjoyed in the superb Gorky Park above, laid out along the banks of the Moskva.
Moscow loop
On the circular line, pay special attention to the stops at the two railway stations: Kievskaya, which has magnificent mosaics, and Belorusskaya, inspired by Belorus traditions.
Visit a neighborhood
Why get out at Mayakovskaya? For its Art Deco vaulted ceilings and because it's the stop for the Tverskaya neighborhood. Just outside are the prestigious Bolshoi Theatre and Chekhov's house. |
