Moscow Metro – Part 2

Have you been to Moscow? In all seriousness, they have the prettiest metro stations I have ever seen and I still can’t believe how immaculate and lovely every station was. There are several different stations pictured below and this is the second of several posts where I will show you the beauty of the Moscow Metro. Did you see part 1? There really isn’t much to say because I think the pictures speak for themselves. I have so many more pictures to share with you!

Have you ever been to Moscow? Is it someplace you have thought about visiting?

A Bit Of Paris In Moscow

When I was in Moscow last summer with Carly we were walking by this metro stop when she said, “Hey! Look at the metro!” And it took me a minute to figure out why she was having me look at the metro stop. I mean, it’s like every other metro stop we see in Paris. Oh, what’s that you say? We’re in Moscow? Oh yeah! Why is there a Parisian metro in Moscow?

I wanted to show you a picture of a metro in Paris with this type of railing but of course I can’t find one on my computer which is infuriating because I know I have taken several (maybe it’s time to properly organize my pictures). But trust me, this railing and signage is similar to what you see when you are walking along the streets of Paris. I still have no idea why this metro stop looks like it was plucked directly from Paris but I thought it was pretty cool to see something so familiar in a place so foreign to me.

Inside The Moscow Metro

Have you ever seen a metro with walls this yellow and bright?

I snapped these pictures because I was struck by how there was no trash anywhere, no graffiti, there was no loud music, and no one was talking. I have been in metros all over the world and the metro in Russia is by far the cleanest and most beautiful I have ever seen. I still have so many more pictures to share with you of the metro in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but for now I thought you would find these two pics interesting.

Another thing I noticed, there wasn’t one light that wasn’t working in any metro or any station. Everything seemed to be in perfect working order. Have you been in a metro this nice?
