Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Truly something to experience
Dec 2019
I live in NYC, and take the metro every day. I've taken the metro in many countries that have been nice, ie: London, Thailand...Nothing like Moscow.

One ride costs 35 rubles; less than a dime to ride!
You can purchase a Troika card at stations when you arrive

Moscow has the most beautiful Metros, hands down. They look like palaces, complete with chandeliers. You can take a tour of the Metros, which we didn't have time for, but we were happy to ride the Metro every day while visiting.

First let me say, the metro stations are CLEAN! They are well lit, and safe. Do not be afraid to ride the metros in Moscow. They are extremely efficient, and you will not wait more than 2 min for a train.

The metros themselves are clean, air conditioned, and they have WIFI.

An easy way to get around, in a city with a TON of traffic. And I say this as someone who lives in NYC. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the US Ambassador's house; this 2.5 mile journey took almost 2 hours driving. Take the metro.

Challenging but worthwhile
Jan 2020
Try to buy a ticket at the machine or desk. no Egnlish but you will manage. Try to buy a carge card for RBL 60 and add ike 10 check-ins to it. cost you like RBL 500 in total and you can share with more people the 10 rides.

there is some English on the signs. maybe download the Yendex.Metro app and it will become a little bit more easy to travel around the stations. After 2 rides it becomes more clear what the logic is in this system.

Never hurry, every 2 minutes a new metro train. Some stations are very nice indeed!

Amazed!! Must try
Dec 2019 • Business
I come from a small city called Dubai where the metro is pretty simple and people generally chose to ride a cab or their own car. For someone from Dubai, Moscow Metro was like a Pandora box. Very efficient and convenient to travel and reach any part of Moscow without getting stuck in the famous Moscow traffic :) If nothing else then just be amazed by the extremely long escalators taking you down and up from the trains. Don’t be surprised if you don’t see the end of the escalator while boarding one. And, the architecture is not to miss. Forget the museums, Moscow Metro stations are an art in themselves. I wonder how people don’t stop by and just be amazed by the art that some of the metro stations showcase. I wish I had the time to do a city tour of just the metro stations all across Moscow and look at the beautiful artwork done.

convenient and astounding
Feb 2020
Moscow metro has the most beautiful station. Metro in not only convenient and cultural it is clean and simple. Stations build during the soviet era circa 40-50s are pieces of art with monuments, sculptures and mosaics. Definitely worth visiting certain stations.

An Art Fiesta..Underground!
Feb 2019
Few would expect a Metro station underground to be such a visual treat ..but the Moscow Metro is exactly that! I believe that it is one of the most beautiful Metros' in the world and one should take their time to explore the whole place leisurely..slowly..its worth it.

Strong, Robust and Beautiful
Aug 2019
Moscow is a city with rivers everywhere. So the metro is placed below the river depth. So when you take the escalator down to the metro, you realize how deep it is. The metro is one of the oldest in metro and robust and strong. It looks sturdy. The corridors and stations are decorated beautifully. Metro network is laid in different lines and they connect you to each part of the city.

Definitely place to go and see. Hard to imagine any country where metro stations are built in way its in Moscow. Some artwork from Soviet Union and some mosaic art here end there. You might get a chance to travel with new metros but same time place will take you back in time...and if you get old school metro, experience will blow you away!

Beautiful and convenient
Feb 2020 • Couples
Stations are all different in design and all beautiful (and we didn’t even get to see the most famous ones). The metro is easy to use. We were given a refillable card- you just put money on it and scan it every time you enter the station. It tells you what balance you have left on it. Very convenient. My husband was responsible for maps and routes and he found it very easy. Stations are clean and all of them have escalators. The cars are clean too and most are very modern. Some of them have screens with news and informations. Very cool. There are security men at the entrance of every station.

state of art
Aug 2021
You will be surprised to see some of the Moscow metro stations. More like a museum with amazing architecture. Long impressive escalators, not overcrowded trains (unless middle of rush hour), very well priced with the troyka card.
If you have been in crowded, small, dirty metro of New-York, London, etc... you will be positively surprised in Moscow!
