The Moscow Metro is a tourist attraction in itself — stations like Komsomolskaya, Mayakovskaya, and Novoslobodskaya are palatial with mosaics, marble, and chandeliers. Buy a Troika card at any station; a single swipe costs far less than tourist day passes. Avoid rush hour (8–9 am, 5:30–7 pm) when carriages are wall-to-wall.
Locals dine late — restaurants fill up after 9pm. Pickpockets are common on Las Ramblas.
🇷🇺 Moscow Fun Fact
Moscow's Metro is the busiest in Europe and among the world's most architecturally spectacular — Stalin ordered each station to be a 'palace for the people.' The deepest station, Park Pobedy, is 84 metres underground, deeper than any London Underground station, and its murals depict Russian military victories from 1812 and 1945.
🇪🇸 Barcelona Fun Fact
Gaudí's Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882 and is still not finished.
