  • This is our guide to using the Metro in Moscow as it can be very confusing with the language barrier and their Cyrillic script.
    However it is the cheapest and best way to explore Moscow quickly

    Ah! Living in Moscow for past 4 months. Moscow metro is amazing! But i remember first week! Couldn't understand anything!
    Pro tip- download Yandex Metro and follow the colours of line while travelling in the stations, its easier.
    Thank you for the video :)

      And you can use Yandex Transport application for public transport(Yandex is searcher like Yahoo in Murica). Moscow taxi is one of the cheapest in the world. You can use Uber or Gettaxi or YandexTaxi. And now Moscow Metro have english names of stations. Its will be easier for englishspeaking.

    Funny, people keep saying Moscow's subway is only in Russian, as though it is a problem; while Washington D.C.'s subway is only in English, which is not a problem.

      English is the most global language... I'm not going to bitch about my native language not being available everyfuckingwhere, but English is something that all big places with lots of tourist should have in use.

    The troika/тройка card as mentioned in the previous comment is a card you buy for 50rub and then each trip (on the metro) is only 32 rub. This card can also be used for public transport like the bus the monorail train trams and trolleybuses excluding marshutki(van-like buses)) also there is this deal where 1 bus ride and metro ride together cost 49 Rub if the two are less than 90 min apart. The card at the end of the trip can be returned and you will receive 50 Rub back. Also the map of the Russian metro now has the name of stations written in English letters right underneath the Russian name of the station.

      New (blue) marshutki should accept all standard forms of payments including Troika cards, that's a condition for their operation set by Moscow DoT.

      faridtjabbah gut i am not sure about the unlimited pass, but i usually put money on the card at the cashier register, and use it. its a lot cheaper overtime if you use public transport and the metro a lot. Last time i checked, a ride on the metro was 20₽ cheaper than one ticket, and I have probably saved maybe thousands of rubles or hundreds of dollars with this card. I use public transport all the time there. It is the fastest way to get to the centre and personally a nice place to sleep in; eapecially in the older trains.

    if you use single tickets, do NOT throw them away - you can use them to transfer to local buses/trams before/after your metro ride.

      Why in Russia is the US subculture? What Russia with a centuries-old history should adopt from the "teenager" who in his history has a long existence at the expense of others' ills?
      The US is built on the destruction of the indigenous population of America and the use of slave labor by blacks. Even today, the US continues to plunder poor countries for its prosperity.
      Do you want to teach us this? Do not wait, thank you, we are not animals or jackals.
      This is the US symbol of an eagle, a predatory bird with only its own tree, and we are bears, we are the masters of a huge taiga, we do not need to rob other countries.

      The card is the same for all metro lines, you do not need to pay when switching from one line to another. All the lines are interconnected, you can make as many transfers as you want for 1 passage.The map is the same for all metro lines, you do not need to pay when switching from one line to another.

    I haven't been to Moscow but that what I can see on YT, it's incomparable with the London tube.
    It's an art gallery not a subway station. In NYC is even worse. Afraid to use it even day time not night.
