Московское метро
О достопримечательности
The Moscow Metro should not be missed. The rush hours are to be avoided unless you have to be somewhere at that time. Actually the rush hour is no different than being in the tubes in NYC, it is crowded and bustling. The color codes of the metro lines and the circle lines make it extremely easy to travel.?
The beauty of the various stations is not to be missed.? A very interesting trip on the metro can be done on the "Koltsevaya" line, the circular one.? ? All of the stations reflect the original decoration and architecture style of the metro, and in about one hour you may visit all of the stations. Particularly beautiful are the "Komsomol'skaya", "Kazan'skaya", "Belorusskaya",? "Novoslobodskaya"? and? "Kiyv'skaya" stations. Outside of the Koltsevaya line, some more stations? worthy of a visit are "Mayakovskaya", "Baumannskaya" and "Ploschad Revolutsij".? ? The beauty of Mayakovskaya is not obvious until you stand on the platform and look straight up, at the ceiling? mozaics overhead.? Each mozaic is unique and depicts a "view" of the sky, as if you were outdoors looking skyward.? Two of the newest stations are Trubnaya and Sretensky Bulvar.? Both are very modern, unique and interesting.?

Outside almost every metro station there are open air shops and markets with a variety of things for sale. With almost no comprehension of the language other than "skolka"...meaning how much...and pol kilo..."half a kilogram"...you'll manage to purchase produce and most anything else you need. Remember that a kilogram is 2.2 pounds.? ? Also, the underground walkways, or "perehods" which take you from the street level to the actual Metro entrance are always full of shops of every kind.? Some of them are so large that they are really underground shopping malls, but don't look? for any high-end goods in these "malls".? It's all pretty much the low end of the cost spectrum.?
Another positive of travelling the metro is that many have a McDonalds located near the station.? You may not need the calorie-laden food but a cup of coffee and a trip to a clean restroom can make? McDonald's golden arches a welcome sight. ?
Metro passes can be purchased so you do not have to pay every time you ride.This can be much easier than stopping every time to buy a pass. Simply enter the Metro station and look for the cashier's booth, marked by the word "KACCA".? If you don't speak Russian, hold up the appropriate number of fingers, representing the number of "rides" you want to take.? At the time of this writing, a 10-trip Metro card? costs 140 rubles - about $6.50.?
If you visit Moscow and? do not use the Metro you have definitely missed some of the beauty of the city.
