Get Around with Ease: Singapore MRT Guide 🚆

In the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore stands as a bustling metropolis known for its stunning architecture, diverse culture, and culinary delights. As you prepare to explore this vibrant city, efficient transportation becomes a crucial factor in making the most of your visit. This comprehensive guide is here to help you unravel the mysteries of Singapore's MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) system, a key pillar of Singapore public transportation network. Join us as we embark on a journey through the intricacies of planning, payment methods, and the essential information of the MRT. With this knowledge, you'll traverse Singapore with confidence and eco-friendliness, unlocking its many treasures along the way.

Efficiency in a Bustling City 🇸🇬

Singapore, often hailed as the "Lion City," is a land of contrasts. From the serene Gardens by the Bay to the bustling Orchard Road, this city-state seamlessly blends nature and modernity. Amidst this amalgamation, efficient transportation emerges as the lifeblood of Singapore's urban landscape. It not only connects neighborhoods but also serves as a microcosm of the city's commitment to progress and sustainability.

The Singapore MRT System 🚆

At the core of Singapore's transportation prowess lies the MRT system, a marvel of urban engineering. This extensive network of underground and elevated rail lines effortlessly connects every corner of the city. With punctuality that borders on the legendary, the MRT system boasts a near-perfect record of reliability. It is a testament to Singapore's dedication to providing world-class public transportation.

MRT Price and Payment Methods

Mrt ticket price 💸.

When navigating the efficient Singaporean MRT system, understanding MRT ticket prices is paramount. The cost of your journey is contingent upon the distance covered, making it a dynamic fare structure. Commencing at 1.50 SGD (US$ 1.10) for shorter trips and extending to 2.50 SGD (US$ 1.80) for longer ones, the pricing accommodates various travel needs.

MRT Payment Methods 💵

Singapore's MRT system employs a contactless payment method known as the "EZ-Link" card. To optimize affordability and convenience, consider the EZ-Link card or the Singapore Tourist Pass. These smart cards not only simplify payment but also offer cost-effective, unlimited travel options for a set duration. Whether you're a local commuter or an eager traveler exploring the Lion City, these cards unlock a seamless MRT experience while ensuring your wallet remains pleasantly unburdened.

1. EZ-Link card 💳

The EZ-Link card, available for purchase at SimplyGo Ticket Offices, Concession Card Replacement Offices, SimplyGo Ticketing Service Centres, Passenger Service Centres, and 7-Eleven, is priced at $10. This card comes pre-loaded with $5 in stored value for immediate use. The remaining $5 covers the card's cost and is non-refundable. You have the flexibility to add value to your EZ-Link cards through the EZ-Link app or at any of the following locations:

General Ticketing Machines (GTM) situated at train stations.

SimplyGo Kiosks located at selected MRT stations, bus interchanges, and Integrated Transport Hubs.

SimplyGo Ticket Offices.

Cheers convenience stores

7-Eleven convenience stores

ATMs from DBS/POSB and OCBC.

AXS Stations

Selected car parks that accept EZ-Link card payments. *Please note that top-ups for SimplyGo EZ-Link cards (Account-based cards) are currently unavailable at convenience stores. For more information about EZ-Link Card, read here .

2. Singapore Tourist Pass 💳

The Singapore Tourist Pass offers the convenience of unlimited bus and MRT transportation, along with potential discounts at selected shops. This pass comes with flexible validity options of one, two, or three days, commencing from the moment of purchase and concluding at 00:30 on the final day. Pricing is as follows: 10 SGD (US$ 7.30) for one day, 16 SGD (US$ 11.70) for two days, and 20 SGD (US$ 14.60) for three days.

Upon obtaining the card, a refundable deposit of 10 SGD (US$ 7.30) is required, which can be reimbursed when you return the card within five days of purchase. If you're arriving in Singapore by air, it's most convenient to acquire the card at the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA) offices located at Changi Airport. Alternatively, you can purchase it at Transit Link offices, MRT stations, and tourist information centers (Singapore Visitors Centre). While online purchase is an option, it tends to be costlier and involves delivery charges. For travelers planning to extensively utilize public transport, this card can prove to be a money-saving asset. For more information about Singapore Tourist Pass, read here .

Riding the MRT 🚆

As you step onto the platform, remember the unspoken etiquette of Singaporean commuters. Stand to the side to allow passengers to disembark, and when boarding, move swiftly to the center of the train car. During peak hours, the MRT can get crowded, but this is where Singapore's efficiency shines. Trains arrive every few minutes, ensuring you won't have to wait long. One surprising aspect of the MRT system in Singapore is the array of restrictions in place. Within the metro, passengers are prohibited from smoking, eating, drinking, carrying flammable substances, and, perhaps most notably, bringing durian fruit on board.

Singapore MRT Operating Hours 🕰️

The MRT operates from 5:30 am until approximately midnight 12:30am on a daily basis, with the potential for extended operating hours during festive seasons. For any adjustments in operating hours, you can conveniently refer to the SMRT and SBS Transit websites or simply download the MyTransport app ( iOS , Android ). During the bustling peak hours of 7 am to 9 am, trains arrive every 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring swift and efficient commutes. In contrast, during off-peak times, you can expect a comfortable wait of about 5 to 7 minutes between train arrivals, allowing for a more leisurely pace of travel.

Exploring MRT Lines 🚇

MRT lines cover a sprawling distance of 200 kilometers. This vast system plays host to an impressive daily ridership exceeding three million passengers, facilitating seamless urban transportation. Additionally, the island boasts more than 40 stations dispersed across two LRT lines, totaling 28 kilometers in length, and accommodating over 200 thousand daily riders.

As part of the continuous expansion efforts, new networks are under development to further enhance rail coverage. To complement the primary rail system, two Light Rapid Transit (LRT) systems operate in Bukit Panjang, as well as Sengkang and Punggol. These LRTs serve as crucial feeder services, bringing commuters closer to their residences and enhancing the overall efficiency of the transit network.

The operation of Singapore's train system is effectively managed by two prominent public transport operators: SMRT Corporation Ltd (SMRT) and SBS Transit (SBST). SMRT oversees the North-South Line, East-West Line, Circle Line, Thomson-East Coast Line, and the Bukit Panjang LRT, while SBS Transit operates the North East Line, Downtown Line, and the Sengkang-Punggol LRT. Together, they form the backbone of Singapore's efficient and comprehensive public transportation network.

Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT) : This LRT system connects residential estates in Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang to the North-South and Downtown Lines, enhancing accessibility to these areas.

Downtown Line (DTL) : Extending into previously unserved residential regions like Bukit Panjang, Bukit Timah, MacPherson, and Bedok Reservoir, the Downtown Line Singapore significantly expands the MRT network's coverage.

Circle Line (CCL) : Serving as a circular rail route, the Circle Line Singapore interlinks the North-South, East-West, and North East Lines with the city center, providing seamless connectivity for commuters.

East-West Line (EWL) : The East-West Line offers diverse travel experiences, from Changi Airport to Pasir Ris' recreational spots and renowned food havens in Geylang and Tiong Bahru. It passes through major city interchanges and educational hubs before reaching Jurong and Tuas industrial areas.

North East Line (NEL) : Designed to serve growing neighborhoods in the north-east, the North East Line connects residential areas to heritage sites and the city fringe.

North-South Line (NSL) : As a central artery, the North-South Line connects to multiple lines such as the East-West Line, Circle Line, Downtown Line, North East Line, and Bukit Panjang LRT, ensuring comprehensive city-wide accessibility.

Sengkang-Punggol LRT (SPLRT) : This LRT network links residents in the area to the town center, Sengkang MRT station on the North East Line, and the Sengkang bus interchange, featuring 14 stations across two loops.

Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) : The TEL (Thomson Line Singapore) promises significant travel time savings of approximately 40%, connecting residents to key destinations like Gardens by the Bay. With 11 stations, including interchange points, it seamlessly integrates with existing MRT lines. TEL's third phase commenced service on November 13, 2022, further enhancing Singapore's public transit network.

Singapore MRT Stations 🚉

Singapore's MRT system, as of 2022, boasts an impressive 231 km of system length that meanders through the city, making it the 19th most extensive in the world. The strategic locations of the stations are meticulously planned within urban planning areas designated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor eager to explore, these MRT stations are your gateway to Singapore's diverse neighborhoods and attractions.

The Green Way to Get Around 🌎

Beyond its convenience, the MRT system aligns seamlessly with Singapore's commitment to sustainability. The eco-friendliness of electric trains, combined with meticulous planning, has resulted in a transportation system that minimizes the city's carbon footprint. Traveling via MRT not only saves you time but also contributes to the preservation of Singapore's lush greenery.

In closing, Singapore's MRT system is not just a means of transportation but a gateway to the Lion City's soul. Its convenience, accessibility, and eco-friendliness make it a symbol of Singapore's commitment to progress and sustainability. Armed with the knowledge shared in this guide, you're ready to explore every facet of this enchanting city with confidence, knowing that each MRT ride is a step closer to discovering Singapore's rich tapestry of experiences.

Finding Ourselves in Every Commute: Insight from Art Outreach’s Art in Transit North East Line Tour

Over a week ago, I had a complete change of pace from my usual brisk walk overtaking fellow commuters and running through the doors of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) trains, when I joined a tour by Art Outreach Singapore (AO) to four MRT stations on the North East Line to take a closer look at the art in the stations.

Only ever glancing around me while waiting on the station platform or when I’m not rushing from one place to another (which rarely happens!), the short tour was a little adventure to learn about how our artists reflect on and interpret Singapore’s culture. This included insight into the overlooked aspects of balancing art-making with the practical purposes of MRT stations, and the artistic processes and collaborations behind the construction of the stations and artworks.

What’s in a tour?

In 2004, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) donated maquettes and models of the artworks commissioned under its Art In Transit (AIT) Programme to AO for the non-profit organisation’s annual auction. The buyers of these prototypes started requesting to see the actual full-scale works in real life, which led AO to conduct informal tours to visit the artworks in MRT stations.

In testament to its popularity, these evolved into formal public tours visiting various MRT stations in 2008. They took place rather frequently before COVID-19 struck in 2019 but were mostly conducted on a commissioned basis or upon request. The edition I attended featured the Dhoby Ghaut, Clarke Quay, Chinatown, and Outram Park stations. The tour was aptly held in conjunction with this year’s Singapore HeritageFest, which explores Singapore’s sporting and transport culture and history. 

Congregating in the relatively empty foyer outside Plaza Singapura at 9:50 am (rather early for a 20-something-year-old on a Saturday morning), I was greeted by Mae Anderson, the Chairman of AO; Eve Hoon, Director of Programmes and Partnerships; and General Manager and Chief Creative Colin Wan. Anderson, who’s been personally giving the tours since the programme started, co-led the tour with Hoon that day. The duo tag-teamed from station to station; while Wan did what he does best—taking pictures and videos to support the team. 

Sharing the load with Hoon, Dina Nerina, AO’s Community Programmes Manager, co-leads the tours with Anderson during other sessions. The tours are a team effort by the organisation’s lean team. 

Immediately engaging with participants as we waited to start the programme at 10 am, Anderson took note of the people in the group, especially the children, knowing that she had to engage them with extra enthusiasm and energy. The charisma and confidence she exuded conveyed her experience with and passion for the works. She shared anecdotes and insight on the art; and more intriguingly, snippets of the process of conceiving and planning the works. 

Hoon graced the tour with a quieter presence but with similar poise. Her eyes shone warmly as she spoke about the works with vigour, captivating participants by directing them to specific elements and sharing more about her personal interactions with the artists.

Experiencing the works in full-force

The values of connecting and storytelling tied the tour’s works together. These works embodied the history and culture of the MRT stations and of the people that previously occupied and continue to occupy these locations. 

Initially, I wondered if these tours should be conducted during off-peak travel hours when there are fewer people milling about. But as the tour progressed, I realised the value of experiencing the works amongst the tides of people in the stations. Encountering the works as they were meant to be—in the stations surrounded by people—was meaningful, as MRT stations are literal places of exchange where commuters converge from different destinations and diverge to others. 

In a way, our MRT stations mimic Singapore’s history as a trading port where people from different countries and cultures stop over for business before departing for other destinations. It also echoes Singapore’s status as a renowned global hub.

To me, the way Singapore has become so interconnected with its complex, intertwining MRT networks reflects the way in which different communities live and operate alongside each other.

Thinking about l anguage and connection at Dhoby Ghaut

Interchange (2002) by Milenko and Delia Prvacki, a husband and wife duo—the perfect example of union and collaboration—captures this weaving of cultures by combining the artists’ personal practices and respective knowledge of mosaics and ceramics. Offering a visual contrast, Delia’s ceramic panels overlap and collide with Milenko’s mosaic tiles as the work curves over a wall.

The concept of cultural exchange also ties in with ideas of communication and language, as in Sun Yu-Li’s Universal Language (2003). Here, Sun draws from primitive art and incorporates drawings to overcome language barriers.

Spanning glass tiles, etchings and mosaic works featuring drawings of hunters, animals and dancers, Sun’s work adorns the columns, walls, and floors of Dhoby Ghaut station. These compositions help commuters navigate the complex and rather confusing MRT station, which has numerous exits. This exemplifies the practical function that these AIT works often serve: wayfinding, with forms and figures subtly directing commuters to where they need to go.

Storytelling at Clarke Quay and Chinatown

Other works saw artists use the MRT stations as canvases to reflect on Singapore’s past growth and future. Tan Swie Hian and Chua Ek Kay both cleverly use the power of visual storytelling to depict how Singapore has evolved over time.

Particularly interesting is the relationship between Chua’s works and Tan’s The Phoenix-Eye’s Domain (2003). The works were featured back-to-back in the tour, with the traditional Chinese painting style of Chua’s mural at Clarke Quay station juxtaposing with Tan’s illustrative mural at Chinatown station. Both works told stories of Singapore’s progress and the artists’ wishes for Singapore’s future, but through very different visual interpretations.

Both stations also feature unique compositions across the platform’s floors. To complement the main mural, Tan wrote a set of Chinese calligraphy couplets, which can be found on the ground. By intentionally placing words on the ground, he questions the way people treat knowledge and literacy by observing the way they move over or around the words.

Over at Clarke Quay, the platform features a work specially created by the station’s architects. Inspired by how Chua interpreted the Singapore River in the form of a brass-based work outside the station’s gantries, the station’s architects decided to include an etching of a scaled map of the Singapore River, highlighting the meandering roads and the bridges built over it. 

Another special characteristic of Clarke Quay MRT is the station’s grey tones. Chua’s works and practice compelled the architects of Clarke Quay MRT to stray from the usual brown colour scheme used in MRT stations to complement Chua’s use of Chinese ink in his mural.

Work for the people at Outram Park

Lastly, at Outram Park MRT, the artworks celebrate the people that pass by and use the station, as well as those who used to inhabit the neighbourhood. Wang Lu Sheng’s Memories (2003) borrows from the props of Chinese opera, which was the main form of entertainment for the Chinese migrants that resided in Outram before its urban redevelopment in 1966, and transforms them into modern visual representations of the experiences and sights of the past. 

Wang reimagined the robes worn by leading figures in Chinese operas into a large sculpture in the mezzanine on the way out of the station. Breathing a “modern aesthetic” into the traditional motifs, Wang’s aim was to add to Singapore’s visual vocabulary and echo its unique blend of cultures.

In another part of the station, Teo Eng Seng depicts the people who use the MRT station in Commuters (2003) by covering the station walls with 69 concrete impressions of people that seem to be moving in and out of the surface, presenting the station as a liminal space that people pass through on their journeys.

The bigger picture

The artworks in MRT stations offer commuters ways to consider our places in life, prompting us to think about those who came before us, the ground that we walk on and the stories that we are a part of. The tour of the four MRT stations by AO ignited a curiosity in me to be more present and mindful of my surroundings as I embark on my daily commutes. The AIT programme not only enlivens the physical spaces of the MRT stations but also creates an important point of contemplation amidst our daily hustle and bustle.

Taiwanese Secrets Travel Guide

Taipei MRT Guide & Map

Table of Contents

Travel around Taipei by subway (metro)!

The Taipei MRT is the most convenient way to get around Taiwan’s capital city. The Taipei metro is both cheap and easy to use.

The Taipei MRT system has been one of the distinctive characteristics of Taipei’s development. Be sure to pick up an MRT and tourist map as soon as you can.

Taipei MRT Map

Taipei’s subway system has alleviated traffic jams and made navigating the city much easier for non-Chinese speaking foreigners. You can get a free map of Taipei’s MRT at both airports in Taipei (Taoyuan International Airport and Songshan).

Taipei Metro – English please!

Taipei MRT stations are clearly labeled in English, and will take you to the majority of the important tourist stops. All the exits at MRT stations have big English maps on their walls where you can see Taipei attractions such as museums, temples, and parks.

Taipei MRT Tickets Price

Rides on the metro system are not free, but they’re cheap. If you plan on doing a lot of traveling on the Taipei MRT, you’ll want to get an EasyCard. The card is the size of a credit card and will cost NT$500 to set up -$100 for a deposit and the other $400 that you will be able to use to travel. You can use the card to get a 20% discount on rides in the Taipei MRT.

The MRT’s fares are distance-based, so the further you travel, the more you pay. A fare for a single-trip in Taipei’s subway will be between $15 and $65, but we doubt you’ll be spanning the full distance of the MRT.

Taipei Main Station

Taipei Main Station in the old town center is the most important MRT station of the entire system. Some of the best attractions in Taipei are scattered around Taipei MRT Main Station.

Another reason why it’s the most important MRT station is because it’s also where you’ll find the Taipei Train Station, Taipei HSR Station, and Taipei Bus Station.

See how to travel from Taipei Main Station to Taoyuan Airport by MRT.

Taipei Metro Hours and Schedules

Most subway lines in Taipei operate between 6:00am and midnight.

My notion here is to visit as many points of interest in Kuala Lumpur as possible around an MRT station to save travelling time. If you are taking a flight to Kuala Lumpur, you may also like to check out how to get to Kuala Lumpur city centre from KL Airport.

My Belgian friend who works in Singapore and I went on a weekend trip from Singapore to KL by bus recently. We could have taken a 1-hour cheap flight to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore , but she chose to be more adventurous. That is following most Singaporeans and Malaysians traditional method of travelling. Especially with someone like me who has been to Kuala Lumpur and other parts of Malaysia umpteen times with nasty travel bus stories to share , it sounded less foreign to her.

We stayed in Hotel Impiana at KLCC which was 15 minutes walk away from the famous Petronas Twin Tower and Suria KLCC Shopping Mall. Hence, the two tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur would be the first two things to do in Kuala Lumpur. If you are not staying around KLCC, take a train and alight at KLCC MRT Station.

KLCC MRT Station

The KLCC MRT station was busier than others due to the influx of visitors to the Petronas Twin Towers and Suria KLCC shopping mall. Some ticket machines accepted RM5 or RM10 dollar notes and some only allowed RM 5. We found it annoying that 3 ticket machines continually rejected our new Malaysia Ringgits (RM) dollar notes. The 4th one accepted it finally. You will get a token instead of a paper ticket. If you have only big-dollar notes, you can change it at the customer service counter for smaller ones. One cannot buy the token from there.

1. Tour in Petronas Twin Towers

Petronas Twin Towers designed by Argentine architect César Pelli are the most majestic symbolic skyscrapers standing in awe of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). It has a sublime sight, especially in the evening. One could fall in love with it when the dark night falls. The Malaysians said that if you do not visit the Petronas Twin Towers, you have never been to Kuala Lumpur before.

Non-Malaysian tourists can buy tickets at RM80 | €16.60 for a semi-guided 1-hour tour from the Concourse basement level to the 42nd storey skybridge and 86th-floor observatory tour for a panoramic view of the stunning city. The entry up to the Petronas Towers is every 30 minutes. Do note that there is usually a waiting time for the Petronas Twin Towers tour due to the limited visit capacity and the overwhelming response from visitors over the weekend.

In the meanwhile, you can go shopping in Suria KLCC if you get a later schedule. The ticket counter is at the Concourse which is at the basement level. Upon entering Suria KLCC Shopping Mall main entrance, the escalator to go down to the ticketing counter is on the left side. There is also a signboard.

2. Luxury Shopping in Suria KLCC

Suria KLCC is the leading shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur comprising of 6 floors with 4 wings of shopping outlets. It specialises in congregating branded boutiques under one roof. A perfect shopping trip for people who love splurging on branded goods and the best thing to do in Kuala Lumpur.

If one is not going for the dazzling brands in Suria KLCC , there are also megastores like Isetan and Parkson for the budget-conscious shoppers. Isetan is a Japanese owned company, and Parkson is a Malaysian establishment. These departmental stores have good quality products with mid-range prices among the high-end products in Suria KLCC that would not burn a hole in the pocket.

You can also find branded cosmetic stores in Parkson and Isetan similar to the ones at the boutiques in a consolidated area. Thus, it will be easier to compare prices or decide which brand to purchase by simply hopping around the megastores in a smaller sphere. The shopping experience here is a twist from the high-end atmosphere.

There is also a big Isetan Foodmarket at the basement level of Suria KLCC with a great selection of sushi and other mouth-watering food at a reasonable price. The price of the products may not be the cheapest, but the choice of food is extensive. I had to try some of it to ease my greedy mouth because I could not resist what I saw.

3. Watch Musical Fountain in KLCC Park

Exiting the back entrance of Suria KLCC is the KLCC Park which has an enormous 50-acre garden. It doubles up like a wonderland for children to play with water in the 10,000 sqm Lake Symphony. The water fountain shoots water to a height of 42 metres during the day and night. The spectacular musical fountain emits beautiful light patterns with the music. It gives the environment a magical touch at 8 pm, 9 pm, and 10 pm nightly.

One word of caution is to avoid strolling in the afternoon. The heat intensity in KL is a strong deterrence to walk further into the KLCC Park. We did not see many people wandering far due to the hot weather. Apply enough sunblock for protection if you are keen to explore a distance away.

4. Drink Belgian Beer at Delirium Café

My Belgian travel partner was unquestionably delighted to discover Delirium Café  as it originated from Belgium. Over here, one can indulge in Belgian food specialities and an assortment of Belgian beers! You can find the restaurant at the far end corner at Suria KLCC back entrance. You’ll get a scenic view facing the KLCC Park and the newly opened Police Station not far from it.

Delirium Cafe, established in Brussels, was a Guinness World Record holder in 2004. It holds a smashing beer stock of 2004 brands! Now the enormous beer collection has grown to 2,500 offering Belgian beers as well as other international brands. Over at the Delirium Cafe @ KLCC , you can still relish a wide selection of Belgian beers with high alcohol percentages to go with your favourite mussels. For beer lovers, give it a go in Kuala Lumpur!

5. Greet Marine Animals at Aquaria KLCC

The mysterious blue water Aquaria KLCC is an oceanarium less than a 5-minute walk along the perimeter of KLCC Park. The world-class aquarium has two levels which are homes to 5,000 aquatic animals from Malaysia and all over the world. Watch 250 species of marine animals swimming around you in a 90-metre water glass tunnel and catch their feeding time in the underwater world. Picture taking is allowed but no flash. The entrance fee is RM64 | €13.30 for adults, children from 3 to 12 years old are RM56 | €11.60 , and senior citizen is RM46 | €9.60 .

Paser Seni MRT Station

In Suria KLCC, we got to know 2 new Malaysian friends who advised us to go to Central Market first, followed by Petaling Street in Chinatown. That was our planned itinerary for the night. The Central Market would close earlier than the night markets in Petaling Street. We stopped at Pasar Seni MRT Station and crossed the road to go to Central Market first.

6. Buy Local-Made Souvenirs at Central Market

Central Market is just opposite Pasar Seni MRT Station. People come here for Malaysia local-made souvenirs, art and crafts. We reached there around 8 pm on a Saturday night. There was almost no customer at that time. It enabled us to look around freely at the beautiful items. We felt comfortable that the sellers were not pushy there. But, it also meant that they were not aggressive to push their sales. Maybe it was about time for them to close shop. Hence, they were tired. It was lovely looking at pretty things, but I did not any of these souvenirs back. The environment was cosy lit with warm lights.

7. Bargain at Petaling Street Market

After Central Market, we walked over to Petaling Street Market in Chinatown which was just under 5 minutes. It is a top place of interest in Kuala Lumpur if you want to feel integrated with the locals. Petaling Street KL is a tourist spot infamous for selling counterfeit products like clothes, bags, perfumes etc.

I have been there several times over the last two decades as a tourist. Many stalls sell identical things. So, it can be quite boring to complete the full shopping activity of looking at similar fake items. They might even be run by syndicates who take the goods from the same source. I like to shop for sunglasses whenever I am here.

» Losing Vibrancy Over the Years

Chinatown KL has also lost most of its appeal and liveliness over the years with fewer customers, even on a Saturday night! Walking amidst the stalls now is more leisure than in the past. Back then, it was difficult to look at something for long without being jostled or blocked.

I noticed that foreigners were the ones who managed most of the stalls there as they certainly did not look like Malaysians. They were pushy and over-enthusiastic to sell you something to the point of being irritating. Part of the charm was diluted. In the past, the Malaysian Chinese would be the ones tending the stalls. So in my eyes, I had lost the familiarity of the original touch of Chinatown which was supposed to be run by a Chinese community.

Haggling is a powerful tool here where you can get 50% off the quoted amount. When the sellers offer you a high price, just walk away. The value will be slashed down immediately. Sellers here are desperate to sell, and it can get overwhelming at times. Nevertheless, it is still a great place to negotiate some cheap bargains. Chinatown is a top attraction in Kuala Lumpur, especially for first-timers. The area has an entirely different facet from the glamorous KLCC which carries authentic brands.

8. Have Dinner in Chinatown

When you go to Chinatown Kuala Lumpur, how can one not try some Chinese food there? We reserved the space of our stomach searching for a comfortable food corner to dine in Chinatown . We were drawn to a Chinese restaurant, Kim Lian Kee 金莲记 at one of the busy streets. I reckoned having dinner sitting by the road was one memorable experience for my friend. She could indulge in the lively ambience of Kuala Lumpur Chinatown and watch the surrounding activities.

We strongly recommend the Stir-Fried Beef with Spring Onion. The meat we tried was so tender and delicious! My friend could not help but praise the dish vehemently. The Salted Egg Prawns were another excellent choice too. The other two dishes were bland and less tasty. The waitress came over and talked to us when there were not many customers. She was rather spot-on when analysing the type of tourists from different countries. I tipped her at the end of the day for her excellent service.

Bukit Bintang MRT Station (SBK)

Our last destination for the day is the Bukit Bintang night entertainment area. There were 2 Bukit Bintang MRT stations on the signboard. Choose the name marked with SBK ( Sungei Buloh-Kajang ). We had a pleasant surprise when we exited from Bukit Bintang MRT station Pintu C (Exit C) on a Saturday night. There was a live band performance by Sentuhan Band with an excellent acoustic sound system. We stayed there for a while. Later, I realised such band performances were everywhere on the street.

9. Indulge in Bukit Bintang Nightlife

Bukit Bintang is a top-rated tourist attraction for things to do in Kuala Lumpur at night for partygoers and night owls. The street was bustling with people on late weekend nights. You get to listen to free music from the various groups of live bands. Bukit Bintang nightlife generates a strong presence of energetic vibes with a lot of entertainment as there are so many things to see in Kuala Lumpur.

I loved the alluring stretch of Middle Eastern restaurants at BB Park. The screaming LED lights was the reason why l crossed the road to demystify it. The loud colours were like magnets, beckoning me to unravel and stay. Good marketing strategy. We had some drinks in one bar while other customers were smoking shisha. Many shops and restaurants opened till late at night. During the day, people can come here for shopping in the departmental stores. From day to night, there’s always something to do in Bukit Bintang Walk.

Imbi Monorail or Hang Tuah MRT Station

If you want to try the monorail in Kuala Lumpur, you can alight at Imbi Monorail Station . There are only 11 monorail stations in KL which operates mainly in the vital commercial and touristic areas. The monorail system is supplementary to the MRT lines for better transportation accessibility in some places. At some stations, both the MRT and the monorail trains inter-connect to each other. Since the monorail run overhead, it allows tourists to have sightseeing of KL city. One tip is to take a monorail from one end to the other end. Refer to the KL Monorail Map .

10. Frenzy Shopping in Berjaya Times Square

Berjaya Times Square is a classy shopping mall with a pretty remarkable interior structural design. That goes without saying when the top of the shopping centre is the Berjaya Times Square Hotel which has a 5-star rating. Shopping here was more affordable than Suria KLCC. You can shop till you drop dead in this 10-storey shopping mall . Yes, 10 floors high!!

Eateries are mostly on the third level. On the 5th and 7th floor is the Berjaya Amusement Park which is the largest Indoor Theme Park in Malaysia. The whole place is a twin complex which comprises of corporate buildings too. Imbi Monorail Station is right in front of Berjaya Times Square. If you want to go by MRT, stop at Hang Tuah MRT Station. Walk 10 minutes for 800 metres.

The second day was almost up. We had to take a bus back to Singapore. There are dreaded facts that could happen when you use a travel coach from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore or vice versa. The pickup point was outside Berjaya Times Square which gave us a good reason to hang around here and to have a quick lunch.

Moscow Metro: The Complete Guide

The Moscow Metro is busy, but easy to use

Robert Schrader

With nearly 7 million riders per day on its 16 lines, the Moscow Metro is the sixth-busiest metro system in the world as of March 2019. Riding the Moscow Metro, however, does not need to be a stressful experience. In fact, it's by far the easiest and most enjoyable way to get around Moscow, especially since many Moscow Metro stations are veritable works of art. Our guide to the public transportation will teach you how to ride the Metro and more.

How to Ride the Moscow Metro

Here is some essential practical information you need to know to easily and seamlessly ride the Moscow Metro.

• Fares: Moscow Metro fares start at 55 rubles for a one-way ticket, which is good for five days after purchase. You'll pay more if your journey takes you outside of the central Moscow zones of A and B, though this is not the case for most tourists.
• How to Pay: Cash is the only way to buy a one-way ticket. However, if you have Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, you can tap your phone directly at the ticket gate and enter using NFC technology. You can also use both mobile payments and credit cards to top-up your reloadable Troika card.
• Routes and Hours: The Moscow Metro has 13 lines that snake and criss-cross the city, plus outer and inner loop lines that string them together, as well as a monorail. The Moscow Metro is open from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., and trains run with a frequency that can range between 1 and 7 minutes.
• Service Alerts: Download the official MosMetro app on the AppStore or Google Play .
• Transfers: Regardless of how you pay to enter the Moscow Metro, you can transfer to any of the core lines plus the Moscow Monorail without passing through an additional ticket gate. If you wish to transfer to bus lines, airport trains or other rail services, paying with Troika or your mobile device might be more convenient.
• Accessibility: Although Moscow Metro is impressive and modern in many ways, it is not very accessible . Visitors who use wheelchairs should try to avoid the subway and take aboveground transportation instead.

Beautiful Moscow Metro Stations

The Moscow Metro has achieved internet notoriety — and not just because of how busy it is. Several Moscow Metro stations are distractingly beautiful, including:

• Aviamotornaya: Brilliant gold themed to the flight of Icarus.
• Komsomolskaya: Bright yellow ceilings and murals chronicling Russia's journey to independence.
• Mayakovskaya: Art Deco, featuring mosaic ceilings and pink marble floor
• Park Pobedy: Modern station (built in 2003) with colorful murals; one of the deepest metro stations in the world (276 feet below ground!).
• Ploschad Revolutsii: Constructed in 1938 at the height of Soviet pride, this station is home to bronze statues that locals still rub for good luck.

Although it's technically legal to take pictures within the Moscow Metro, guards might approach you if you spend too long photographing a particular station, or use professional equipment like a tripod. Be as discreet as possible to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation!

Other Moscow Public Transit

In addition to the (mostly) subterranean transport offered by the Moscow Metro, Russia's capital is home to a number of aboveground transport options. This includes a large network of buses, as well as trams and "trolley buses." While these are all cheaper than the Moscow Metro, they also require some command of Russian to use; the ordinary buses are also subject to sitting in Moscow's terrible traffic.

In terms of payment, your Moscow Metro ticket isn't valid for transit to any other form of transit, though a Troika card will allow you to do so seamlessly. Likewise, while the various Aeroexpress trains (between Sheremetyevo Airport and Belorussky Station, Domodedovo Airport and Paveletsky Station and between Vnukovo Airport and Kievsky Station) feature modern vehicles and offer fast, reliable connections to Moscow's major airports, these lines are not considered to be part of the Moscow Metro system.

As noted earlier, the Moscow Metro is technically organized by "Zone," with the center of Moscow being occupied by the "A" and "B" zone. Again, you shouldn't worry too much about this. If you're hanging out in the parts of the city, you probably speak enough Russian to be able to ask a local for advice!

Taxis and Ride Sharing Apps

The bad news? It is exceedingly unlikely that a taxi drive in Moscow will speak English. The good news? Uber works in Moscow as of March 2019, which means that if you have the app installed on your smartphone (and a Russian SIM card, which you can pick up at Moscow Airport), your next Moscow ride is basically a matter of plug-and-play.

Russia also has a number of homegrown ride sharing apps, though these aren't as ubiquitous as Uber — they also don't have good English-language interfaces. If you're interested in learning more about them, in any case, be sure to visit the websites of InDriver or Taxi Maxim . Keep in mind that many of these applications require Russian credit cards, or a Russian bank account to pay for rides.

Security-wise, the technological aspect of using ride sharing apps in Russia makes them relatively safe. On the other hand, taxis have a dodgy reputation at best. If you do end up needing to take a taxi in Moscow, make sure to use a registered car. The ones waiting at the airport stands are generally legitimate; within the city limits, try and have your hotel call a taxi to be safe.

Renting a Car in Moscow

Traffic in Moscow is reliably awful, to say nothing of how difficult navigating the city's serpentine network of ring roads and one-way streets can be. However, if you do want to rent a car in Moscow (or in Russia, more generally) there are some facts you should keep in mind.

Documentation wise, it's not officially necessary to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) — your US driver's license will work, at least if you plan to drive in Russia for less than six months. However, it might serve you well to get an IDP (you can apply at your local AAA office) for peace of mind. In Russia as in the US, you drive on the right side of the road; gas costs about 40 rubles per liter, or about $2.40 per gallon.

Another potential downfall of renting a car of Russia is the threat of interactions with Russian traffic police. While this doesn't put you in any mortal danger, there is a chance you'll have to bribe your way out of any confrontation, which outside the center of Moscow or other Russian cities will almost certainly necessitate some Russian language or body language skills.

Tips for Getting Around Moscow

Regardless of whether you take the Moscow Metro or any of the other transportation options listed here, these general tips for getting around Moscow will serve you well:

• Moscow's city center is very walkable. Unless you're visiting on a bitterly cold day during the middle of winter, many of Moscow's attractions are close enough together that you could walk. For example, you can easily walk from Red Square to Gorky Park, Bolshoy Theatre , Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts , the Kremlin or simply along the Moskva River.
• All roads lead to Red Square. Although Moscow is not a grid-pattern city, it is relatively organized. The majority of major roads start and end at Red Square; the rest are circular ones that connect the "spokes" from Red Square. With this basic idea in mind, it's pretty difficult to get lost in Moscow!
• Moscow's awful traffic means that rail is usually the quickest option. Even if the physical distance between two places is shorter by car, traveling via the Moscow Metro is probably going to be quicker.
• English signage in Moscow has greatly improved over the years. On the other hand, familiarizing yourself with the Cyrillic alphabet before your trip to Russia probably wouldn't be a bad idea. If you need to push someone out of the way (spoiler alert: you probably will!), say izvineetye (sorry) to excuse yourself.
• Petty theft is common, especially during rush hour. Wear your backpack in front of your body, and don't keep large amounts of cash (or your smartphone!) in your back pocket. Hide any conspicuous signs of wealth to avoid being a target!

The Moscow Metro is easy to use—once you get the hang of it. After all, more than two billion trips take place across its rails every year. If it were difficult, this simply wouldn't be possible!

Home >> Destinations >> How to Use the Moscow Metro and Which Stations to Visit.

Your first encounter with the beautiful Moscow Metro stations will surprise you. Never has a rail system been more appealing and just a little intriguing. 

Once described as a ” Subterranean paradise for the people”, the Moscow Metro is one of the most extraordinary subway systems in the world

Table of Contents

Most Beautiful Metro Stations in the World

We have travelled on a lot of public train systems all over the world. We have marvelled at the modern efficiency of some rail systems, especially in Asia.

We have baulked at the cost of others such as the Tube in the UK and in New York, we pondered which is uptown and which is downtown in relation to where we need to be.

We have also enjoyed a polite attitude to public transport and ease of navigation, in places like Athens.

We have discovered first class can be anything but classy and navigated our way through some of the dirtiest and some of the cleanest train systems the world has to offer. However, we have never come across anything as impressive as the Moscow Metro stations.

How Many Metro Stations are in Moscow?

The first Moscow Metro system opened in 1935 with 13 stations along a single 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) line.

As of 2021, the Moscow Metro has grown to include 241 stations (276 including the Moscow Central Circle Line ) The entire Moscow Metro length is 412.1 km (256.1 mi), making it the fifth-longest metro system in the world. China has the four longest.

Nearly 10 million people commute on the Moscow Metro each day making it one of the most heavily used systems in the world and the busiest metro system in Europe. It is no wonder it is considered a tourist attraction in itself and one of the best things to do in Moscow .

How Deep is the Moscow Subway?

The majority of the Moscow Metro system is underground with 70 deep-level stations, nearly 90 shallow stations and the remainders either on the surface or at elevation.

The deepest station is Park Pobedy Station which is 84 meters, (275 ft). At roughly the same height as a 28 storey building, it is one of the deepest metro stations in the world, behind St Petersburg’s Admiralteyskaya Station which is located 86 meters (282 ft) below ground.

Get a Moscow Metro Map

There are several multicoloured maps of the metro system in each car and there will be an announcement each time you arrive at a station. These announcements should be in Russian and English but may not always be easy to understand, so it will be handy to have a map, or app in English to help you navigate your way.

Moscow Metro Map:

You can download a map of the Moscow Metro in English here . However, using a Moscow Metro App might be more informative.

Why Are the Moscow Metro Stations So Beautiful?

Stalin’s vision for the moscow metro.

Stalin had the vision to create a magnificent Metro system that would resemble “People’s Palaces”. His vision was realised in 1935 when the Metro was opened with just 13 stations.

Moscow Metro Art and Design

Every station has a unique design indicative of the era and political leader of the time. Stories of Russia’s history that make you want to keep exploring these “ subterranean palaces “.

Lined with marble and decorated with chandeliers, intricate mosaic artworks, heroic statues and gilded trimmings, the Moscow Metro stations are not merely decorated; they are works of art.

An entire day can be spent station hopping, admiring beauty and opulence that would have received a nod of approval from the Romanov’s themselves. We share a small sample of the best Moscow Metro stations and what you will expect to find in this underground art gallery.

Moscow Metro History

The first underground system in the Soviet Union, the initial metro stations were built by forced soviet labour.  Much of the design and artworks within the stations depict the Soviet Union’s greatest achievements and historical milestones as well as paying homage to Russia’s diverse artistic, literary and architectural legacy.

British engineers were commissioned for the initial project because of their experience with the London underground system. Interestingly, they were later arrested on suspicion of espionage. It was believed they knew too much about the Russian underground system.

How to Use the Moscow Metro System

Not only is the Moscow Metro beautiful, extremely clean and very safe, it is also a cheap way to get around Moscow. Although, travelling on the Moscow Metro can be a little daunting.

It is the second busiest rail system in the world so it can get very crowded. Here are some tips to help you navigate the Moscow Metro.

Navigating the Moscow Metro. Travelling from Station to Station

Travelling between stations on the Moscow Metro can be challenging, especially when it is busy. In addition to using a Moscow Metro app or map, these tips for using the metro will help if you are unsure about stations or lines.

Listen to the Voice on the Annnouncement

• Usually, the announcement of the next station will be by a man’s voice on the trains travelling to the city centre.
• On services travelling away from the city centre, announcements will be a woman’s voice.
• On the circular line – the maroon coloured line, a man’s voice announces the stops if it is travelling in a clockwise direction and a woman’s voice if it’s travelling counterclockwise.

Signage in the Metro

There is a comprehensive signage system throughout the metro system showing the various lines, colour coordinated to correspond with each line.

• You will see overhead signs showing which way to go to access each line.
• Detailed maps on the platforms show the direction of the train, which stations it will stop at and the station you are currently at.
• Large colour coded stickers on the floors show where you need to change lines.

All signs are written in Russian Cyrillic and English. If you get overwhelmed, look for the colour line on your map and the final station on that line and follow the signs.

Exiting the Metro

Most of the metro stations will have several exits. Busy stations in the city centre, such as Kitai Gorod can have as many as 15 exits. For visitors to Moscow, this can be quite daunting.

Exits are all numbered. Look for maps at the exits or signs in lobby areas showing the surrounding area and major sights which can help guide you to the right exit number.

You will also see overhead signs at exits listing the nearby sights, streets, shopping malls, and other reference points to help you navigate.

Around the station walls, you will also see signs guiding you to public transport stops with bus, tram and trolleybus numbers.

With some of the deepest stations in the world, you can expect some very long and steep escalators. The longest escalator in the Moscow Metro is 413 ft (126 metres). Climbing such a long-distance means the escalators also move faster than many people are used to.

Along with the steep angle of the ascent and descent, boarding the fast-moving escalators can be a bit nerve-racking at first. Approach with confidence and don’t hesitate when boarding. Remember to stand on the right of the escalator to allow people to pass.

Avoid Rush Hour

As mentioned, the Metro moves more than nine million people each day around Moscow. If you are planning to spend some time exploring the Metro system, it would be wise to avoid rush hours.

Rush hours on the Moscow Metro are between 8.00 AM and 10.00 AM and again between 5.00 PM and 7.00 PM

During rush hour, the train cars get very crowded and you will have to move fast to get on and off the trains as well as trying to avoid being pushed around too much. It will also be more difficult to read the station names from inside the train cars. This will make trying to navigate the system more difficult and will not be as pleasant an experience.

Safety on the Moscow Metro Watch Your Belongings

The Moscow Metro is well monitored with security staff and cameras so is overall very safe. However, like any busy city, the Moscow Metro attracts large numbers of people including pickpockets. Be extra careful at the most visited tourist stations, especially, on the Circle Line in the city centre.

The fascinating ballroom-like stations on the Circle Line not only attract tourists but is also connected to the 7 out of 9 Moscow railway stations so it always feels busy there. Make sure your bags are secure and zipped up at all times and valuables are secure in inside pockets. We highly recommend a good anti-theft backpack or anti-theft handbag for travelling in cities like Moscow.

Moscow Metro Tickets

Ticket cost.

• A one way ticket or one trip ticket on the metro is ₽55.00 (less than USD $1) regardless of the length of the trip. Two trips ₽110.00.
• There are no zones so it doesn’t matter how far you travel or how long your trip is. You’ll need a ticket only once at the entrance to the metro. You may change lines as many times within the system on the one fare.
• A day or multiple day passes are also available. You can visit the Moscow Metro website here for full schedule of fares and payment options.

Purchasing Tickets

You can purchase metro tickets in two basic ways:

• Automatic machines –  They are in both Russian and English so are relatively easy to use.
• Ticket booth – If you are not comfortable using the machines look for the ticket booths marked “KACCA”. There are both Russian and English speaking booths – look for ticket booths with a “we speak English” sign. However, if you can’t find an English speaking booth, you don’t need to speak Russian. Just hold up the number of fingers of tickets you need. Once you pay, you will receive a card that will serve as your ticket.
• Card payments are commonplace with contactless payment also possible. However, it is still wise to have cash with you in small denominations to purchase tickets incase cards are not be accepted or you need to use a mchine.

Guided Metro Tours in the Moscow Metro

If navigating the Moscow Metro on your own sounds too daunting, get yourself a Moscow Metro guide who will guide you through the metro system. They will take you to the most beautiful stations while revealing the history and stories that make this one of the most unique underground rail systems in the world.

Guided Metro tours are available for as little as USD $20.00 pp. A guided tour is also a great way to learn how to navigate the metro system so you feel comfortable exploring further on your own.

15 of the Best Moscow Metro Stations to visit.

A metro station for all tastes.

If it is the baroque opulence of the Stalin years that tickles your fancy or the beautiful sleek designs of modern stations you seek. The Moscow Metro stations have an array of designs that will take you on a journey through Russia’s history and quite simply impress you. These are some of the best stations to visit on the Moscow Metro.

Mayakovskaya Station Line 2 Green

Mayakovskaya Station is on the Zamoskvoretskaya line – Line 2. Used as a bomb shelter during the war, a hospital and even a supreme command headquarters. In 1941, Stalin celebrated the anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution at Mayakovskaya Station, complete with elegant catering for all the attending dignitaries while the Nazis bombed the city above.

The scene was later depicted in the mosaics in the centre of each dome. Historic moments like this captured in various stations shows how fascinating the Moscow Metro is.

Teatralnaya Station Line 2 Green

Teatralnaya Station is on the Zamoskvoretskaya line – Line 2. Named for the nearby Theatre Square, Teatralnaya Station opened in 1938 as part of the second stage of the Moscow Metro construction.

Designed as a tribute to the arts, this pretty station is lined with fluted pylons and white marble salvaged from the demolished Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.

Novokuznetskaya Station Line 2 Green

Novokuznetskaya Station is on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line – Line 2. In honour of Soviet fighting men, seven octagonal ceiling mosaics, bas-reliefs and cast bronze portraits depict soldiers of the Red Army and Russian war heroes.

The large, ornate marble benches that line the platform marble walls were taken from the cathedral of Christ the Saviour and original floor lamps give Novokuznetskaya Station a special ambience.

The central hall is decorated with crystal lamps and bas-reliefs depicting the theatre arts of the USSR made by the Leningrad Porcelain Factory.

Ploshchad Revolyutsii Station (Revolution Square) Line 3 Blue

Ploshchad Revolyutsii Station is on the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line – Line 3. Revolution Square is one of the most famous stations and one of the closest stations to Red Square.

Easily one of the most impressive, it is lined with life-size bronze sculptures depicting the people of the Soviet Union; workers, peasants, soldiers, artists and children – 72 in total.

Tradition states it is good luck to rub the nose of the dog depicted in one sculpture and as if by reflex, we barely noticed anyone who failed to do so as they passed.

Elektrozavodskaya Metro Station Line 3 Blue

Elektrozavodskaya Metro Station is on the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line – Line 3. A favourite, this station was named after the nearby electric light bulb factory. The concept was to make a ceiling covered with six rows of circular incandescent lamps- 318 in total. Built during the third stage of the Metro construction, Elektrozavodskaya Metro Station opened during WW II in 1944.

The station’s initial architect died during construction and the outbreak of the war halted works until 1943.  Another architect finished the works incorporating an additional theme, bas-reliefs installed on the walls to document the struggle of the war.

Arbatskaya Station Line 3 Blue

Arbatskaya Station is on the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line – Line 3. Completed in 1953, the year of Stalin’s death, Arbatskaya Station was intended as a bomb shelter. At 41 metres below ground, this station represents Stalin’s love of baroque. Arched ceilings decorated with ceramic bouquets, ornate bronze chandeliers, and glazed tiles.

Hardly the standard decor of a bomb shelter.  This station was built not long before criticism of luxury Soviet architecture resulted in austerity and functionality began to prevail.

Park Pobedy Line 3 Blue

Park Pobedy Station is on two lines: the Arbatsko–Pokrovskaya line and the Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya line. 

Park Pobedy (Victory Park) features a modern design in hues of red marble with mosaics depicting great Russian victories including the 1812 French Invasion on the inbound platform and World War II on the outbound platform. However, beyond interior design, there are a number of interesting facts and features of Park Pobedy station.

At 84 metres (276 ft), Park Pobedy is the deepest station in Moscow and the fourth-deepest in the world by mean depth, and the deepest station by maximum depth, 97 metres (318 ft).

Park Pobedy has the longest escalators in Europe. At 126 metres (413 ft) long and with 740 steps each it takes approximately three minutes to reach the surface.

It is the only Moscow metro station where passengers board and alight trains in different locations. 

The two platforms are identical in design but with opposite colour schemes. The outbound platform has pylons faced with red marble on the transverse faces and pale grey marble on the longitudinal faces. The inbound platform is the exact reverse. 

The unique structural design. The Park Pobedy tunnel lining included steel blocks filled with concrete instead of traditional cast-iron tunnel lining. Reducing the amount of structural metal consequentially reduced the overall cost of construction.

Slavyansky Bulvar Station   Line 3 Blue

Slavyansky Bulvar station is on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line, between Kuntsevskaya and Park Pobedy stations – Line 3. Opened in 2008, Slavyansky Bulvar is one of the more modern metro stations.

The shallow underground station hall sits at around 10 meters, lined with sleek finishes of green Cuban marble “Verde Guatemala”, granite, aluminium and beech.

However, the green Art Nouveau flourishes chosen by Architect S.Volovich, similar to those that adorn the entrances to the Paris Metro system, give Slavyansky Bulvar station an almost whimsical beauty. 

Taganskaya Station Line 5 Brown (Circle Line)

Taganskaya Station is on the Koltsevaya line – Line 5 Circle Line. Opened in 1950 Taganskaya Station is named after the Taganka Square, a major junction of the Sadovoye Koltso ring road.

Despite the fairly practical naming inspiration, the pylon station is anything but boring. 

Post-war flamboyance is at the forefront of the design based on traditional Russian motives. 

The central feature of the station – 48  maiolica  panels on each face each pylon with floral elements and bas-reliefs of various World War II Red Army and Navy servicemen. 

The colour of the panels are balanced in such a way, those facing the central hall are on a soft blue background, while platform panels are monochromatic. Lit by 12 gilded chandeliers, Taganskaya is a very elegant station.

Between 1950 until 1958 it was the deepest station in the Moscow Metro. 

Komsomolskaya Station Line 5 Brown (Circle Line)

Komsomolskaya Station is on the Koltsevaya line – Line 5 . By far the fanciest of all the stations, Komsomolskaya is more like a grand ballroom than a train station.  Opened in 1952 as part of the second stage Metro expansion, this baroque masterpiece honours the memory of Nevsky, Donskoy and other great military leaders in the ornately gilded mosaics on the ceilings and walls.

Prospect Mira Line 5 Brown (Circle Line)

Prospekt Mira station is on the Koltsevaya line – Line 5. Located on the central Circle Line, it’s easy to see why the incredibly ornate station is a favourite with visitors to Moscow.

Designed by architects Vladimir Gelfreykh and Mikhail Minkus, the station was initially named  Botanichesky Sad  after the Botanical Garden of Moscow and State University located nearby.

Opened in 1952, the station underwent significant modifications in 1958, removing a wall at the end of the station to make way for a transfer station on the Rizhskaya line. In 1966, both stations were renamed Prospekt Mira to avoid confusion. 

The station’s design reflects the botanical influence of the original name in the intricate floral ceramic bas-reliefs trimmed in gold above flared marble arches. In the centre, medallion bas-reliefs depict aspects of agriculture in the Soviet Union. But the cylindrical crystal chandeliers add the finishing touch to the station’s grandeur, creating a magnificent ballroom atmosphere. The station was closed between 2015 and 2016 for complete restoration and remodelling works. 

Novoslobodskaya Station Line 5 Brown (Circle Line)

Novoslobodskaya Station is on the Koltsevaya line – Line 5. Stain glass panels form the central theme for this station opened in 1952. Architect Alexey Dushkin had long wanted to utilise stain glass as the central feature of a metro station.

Dushkin persuaded a renowned artist, Pavel Korin to compose the artworks for the panels and the rest of the station was designed around the 32 stained glass panels, each surrounded by elaborate brass borders. The concept was to create the impression of an underground crypt.

Kievskaya Station Line 5 Brown (Circle Line)

Kievskaya Station is on the Koltsevaya Line, Line 5 Circle line. An open competition held in Ukraine for the design of Kievskaya Station attracted 73 entries.

The winning team of E. I. Katonin, V. K. Skugarev, and G. E. Golubev focused the station’s theme on the Russo-Ukrainian unity from the time of Pereyaslav Rada in 1654 to the October Revolution in 1917, evident in the large, bright mosaics throughout the station and the portrait of Lenin in the main hall. The station is a true monument to the Soviet era and Soviet Russia. 

Stark white granite and marble arches accented with gold flourishes lit by central chandeliers against the bold mosaics is almost overwhelmingly elaborate. 

One of the station’s entrances features a reproduction classic Art Nouveau Paris Metro entrance by  Hector Guimard . The entrance was given to the Moscow Metro by the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens in exchange for a piece by Russian artist Ivan Lubennikov installed at Madeleine station in Paris.

Aviamotornaya Station Line 8 Yellow

Aviamotornaya Station is on the Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya line – Line 8. A tribute to Russian aviation, Aviamotornaya Station’s design is entirely in the spirit of flying. 

The most striking feature of the station is the ceiling in the central hall covered with four-sided anodised gold pyramids depicting the universe. At the end of the impressive foyer, an imposing metal sculpture depicting the flight of Icarus. An ode to the lives of aviators and inventors lost in the pursuit of flight. 

The lighting on the platforms gives commuters the sense of movement and flying with the impression of an aeroplane jet streams and triangular lighting to represent an aeroplane tail wing. 

Located 53 metres (173 feet) underground, the beautiful station was the location of a terrible escalator accident in 1982, causing the death of 8 people and injuring 30.  You can read more about the incident here .

Dostoyevskaya Station (Dostoevsky) Line 10 Light Green

Dostoyevskaya Station is on the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line – Line 10. A Moscow Metro station for die-hard literary fans.

A bid to honour one of Russia’s most celebrated writers and greatest thinks has been shrouded in controversy from the get-go. Opened in 2010, named after the famous author Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the station is beautifully stark with bare grey walls except for colourless murals depicting scenes from Dostoevsky’s most famous novels, including  Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot,  and,  Crime and Punishment. 

The controversy started when elements of the station’s design were published online. Two scenes of violence, including scenes of homicide and suicide depicted on the station walls, sparked debates within the internet community. Psychologists expressed concern about the dark murals saying the violent scenes from Dostoevsky’s books could put commuters in equally dark moods or even provoke suicidal impulses.

The beautifully stark station caused controversy on its opening in 2010 after people objected to a mural depicting a murder scene, to which the artist responsible replied: 

Ivan Nikolayev, 69, the artist commissioned to create the murals, spent 20 years rereading Dostoevsky’s books and making sketches for the project. In response to the controversial reactions to the station’s works, the artist replied: “I was tasked to draw the meaning, creativity and entire life of Dostoevsky. “What did you want? Scenes of dancing? Dostoyevsky does not have them.”

The Future of the Moscow Metro

So while Stalin’s initial vision of “People’s Palaces” may have waned somewhat during the peak Soviet Russia years where function was favoured over form, the concept of original and unique Metro stations never faded.

As Russia continues to expand its Metro system to become the third-largest in the world, the desire to create unique and beautiful spaces continues.

Metro system in MOSCOW – Basic information

The Moscow metro system is one of the busiest and most magnificent in the world. It is estimated that over 8 million people use the metro on a daily basis, and it is comprised of more than 200 stations spread across 12 separate lines . The first station opened in 1935 , and ever since then, the network has been expanding. Each stop has its own distinct personality and is exquisitely designed, with many showcasing art and sculptures. The metro is an excellent and time-saving method of transportation for getting through Moscow and the surrounding areas.

The lines of the Moscow subway system

The Metropolitan Subway, more commonly referred to simply as the Metro, is the primary mode of public transportation in the Russian capital of Moscow. It is one of the busiest and most efficient metro systems in the world, with over 7 million people utilizing it on a daily basis, making it one of the busiest metro systems in the world. It is comprised of 12 lines, each of which has its own distinctive route, and it provides service to the entirety of Moscow as well as the suburbs that surround it.

The Koltsevaya Line and the Radial Line are the two primary lines that make up the Metro. The Koltsevaya Line is a circular line, and the Radial Line extends from the center of Moscow to the outskirts of the city. Because it links all of the major stations in the city, the Koltsevaya Line is by far the most traveled line in the city. It provides service to a total of 15 stations, several of which are among the most well-known in the city. These stations include Komsomolskaya and Belorusskaya.

The Radial Line is the Metro’s longest line , clocking in at more than 30 kilometers in total distance.
