Description:

Go underground on this guided tour to explore Moscow's opulent metro system. Built with marble and granite and decorated with stained-glass windows, mural paintings, mosaics, and even sculptures, Moscow's metro stations are dramatic settings for everyday life in the Russian capital.

On this 3-hour tour you take in some of Moscow's most important and highly decorated stations. Carrying up to 7 million passengers a day and covering almost the entire city, the Moscow Metro is one of the most extensive mass transit systems in the world. It's famous for the fine examples of social-realism which decorate many of its stations.

Visit some of the most important stations and get the chance to admire spectacular baroque-style ceilings, marble statues, busts of Communist heroes, stained glass windows, and ceiling mosaics depicting the bright Soviet future.
