It's morning, when the great needle of the clock of the Kremlin aims toward north and that small toward south and a new day begin in Moscow that in the same moment they open the hundred doors of this magnificent city that it is the subway of Moscow. .

If you still have some doubts that Moscow is then the most stately city to the world trails to visit his magnificent subway, which is considered, not without reason, one of the most beautiful of the world. Its stations resemble to the insides of marvelous buildings, the complex system of underground communications is the result of the union of a perfect technology with a refined art. Every day, going down in the subsoil of the city, the moscovities and the tourists of the Russian capital can admire unbelievable colors, great salt with glass door realized with the technique of the mosaic, bestowed corridors magnificently illuminated, inside dressed again of marble and decorated granites with bronzes and paintings, tall ceilings, columns grey and rose, splendid monuments of architecture, paintings and sculptures, and to discover that Moscow metro is not only a system of communication, but to all the effects a real and original underground museum unique in the world. the architectural whole do the beauty of this subway. The projects of the meter have been realized by the Soviet architects Cussev, Guelfreikh, Fomine and others. Among the painters and more sculptors known that have participated in the decoration of the stations there are Danko, Deineka, Korine, Manizer and Tomsky. The subway in Moscow is constantly widened and it touches by now all the zones of the great metropolis: it allows of it therefore a rapid and functional visit; the most splendid angles in Moscow are easily in such way accessible; the great green spaces that surround the city easily become attainable. Thanks to this immense and splendid underground net, also the most demanding tourists can visit more quickly the Russian capital. But the same stations of the subway deserve, also for the hasty tourist, at least a half day of visit. The decision to build the subway in Moscow was adopted by the complete session of the central Committee of the communist Party in June 1931. Only thirty years before, in 1902, the Duma of the city of the Tzar had rejected the proposal, served as the American bank Werner, to build in Moscow "a strong road under the road level." The first construction of the subway nevertheless it was effected in 1913, but the first world war and the 1917 following revolution totally stopped the jobs of it. For the construction of the metro in Moscow a committee and a special great firm it was founded, that prepared of very advanced techniques: it is in such way that in 1932 it began the construction of the first line of the metro. To the beginning of 1935, "Pravda" it announced that the moscovities would have been able I lend to use the metro. May 15 th 1935 was inaugurated that first line. The jobs of constant amplification and extension of the lines also continued during the second world war. Currently the subway is the mean of transport more used in Moscow; it has more than 300 km of run, 150 stations and more than 8 million passengers daily and it is in continuous phase of expansion. Metro is also a place of reception, there are people that appointment is given to the stations and they speaks and they comfortably discusses sessions on the benches of marble. Stations give it is also possible to reach important commercial centers without climbing in surface and winter it represents a great convenience in how much in the undergrounds they are found you kiosks, cafe, small restaurants and truths shops to allow a completely underground self-sufficient life. This ago of the meter in Moscow still more a real tourist attraction as in any other part of the world, so much that the firms on the visit tickets rather than to point out their address, points out the nearest stop of the metro to them and the real estate agencies they consider the stops a fundamental parameter for the quotation of the price of a house. And' one of the more realizations' important of the Communist Regime, it was initiated in the 1931. During the Great War metro was also used as repair for the population. The Russians on the subway are polite and disciplined, to the oldies it is suffered surrendered the place. The bother, unfortunately, as always in Russia, I am you intoxicate him, not and' that there is to fear too much their nuisances, but to have not (or on) beside them is not much pleasant. For the tourist they are available maps (also from internet) written with western characters where every station is countersigned by a number and a color, apparently simple to consult, it is not so then unfortunately in the reality in how much the poster that point out the stations and their destinations are completely and entirely writings in Cyrillic and if it is not with some person of the place or a good knowledge of the Russian language is not had it is practically impossible to move in the gigantic  and crowded moscovite underground world. The wealth of the materials used for the realization, as granulated, porfid, radonit etc from the Urals, from central Asia, from the Caucas, from the Altaj and from Ukraina, they make of every metro stop a real art work, where any traveller will remain surprised, and will have the feeling to be in a Royal room. Main ann wonderful stations are: Arbatskaja, Bielorusskaja, Cechovskaja, Chistye Prudy, Kievskaja, Komsomolskaja, Kropotkinskaja, Majakovskaja, Novokuznetskaja, Park Kultury, Ploshid Revoljiutsii, Teatralnaja, which is declared patrimony of the State. The subway begins its run to the 5 and 30 of the morning and finishes at night at 2 o'clock.

Original and amazing, the system of the subway in Moscow, as motto is not only a simple mean of communication besides very efficient and used by the moscovities, that colleague almost to the perfection all the neuralgic zones of the metropolis so much that the meter in Moscow results more among the you traffic some world, you are enough to think that the metropolitan net transports around 8 million passengers a day the double one of those of New York and London put together, the net introduces 12 lines put in communication among them from a thirteenth circular line, each of them countersigned by a color name and number for a total of around 500 km of platforms and almost 200 stations each of them obviously countersigned by a name some of which you devote to the great Russian poets what Mayakovsky and Puskyn among everybody. As it regards the costs, the meter results to be the most economic and convenient mean, the tickets can be purchased in the present box-offices under the stations beginning from the single run up to the monthly subscriptions, very used from the students or from the businessmen that exactly they make great use of the meter. For a week of vacation it is advisable to purchase the ticket that includes 20 runs and eventually to take another of it from 10 if necessary. To move in the meter in Moscow means to share the same service with thousand of people in whatever station feels you, an authentic river of people that moves him on and down among the great mobile staircases that also conduct up to over 200 meters deep, between the long underground corridors and the ample rooms of attended where the trains punctually pass every minute and thirty seconds making to also result the metro a precise transport system, in fact if you will lose the wagon, not desperate because one minute and thirty seconds of clock and from there another will arrive, contrarily to the buses and taxi that are forced to brake their runs in the terrible city traffic especially in the hours of point. To move and to orient in the gigantic Muscovite underground world, to understand what train to take for reaching the station toward which you are direct or to succeed in the arduous enterprise to change line using the circular line and then to direct I pour you that to which you are direct, it needs to purchase thing a map in miniature before, available to little rubles in every point sale what  paper shop, but also under the numerous stands that you will find under the stations themselves, or to unload her from internet. Until we have told only  numbers and curiosity for the tourist intent to visit Moscow, but as said above the subway in Moscow, doesn't only represent only a transport system but absolutely it’s a surprising museum underground unique in the world  that surprises in every angle of its, corridor or room of the confused tourist that tries to understand in attended what part to go but also the person of the place that wedges it among the crowd not to delay his/her run fierce to show  metro to the foreigner with hurry and fury that the State has declared artistic patrimony of the nation. In fact the construction of the meter ordinate to the beginnings of the years '30 from Stalin, in name of Vladimir Ulianov "LENIN", it was subsequently approved by the central Committee of the communist Party and it was definite that the whole Soviet union would have built  Moscow metro so much that  were brought by all soviet regions the materials necessary to realize the grandiose project among which the granites coming from the caucas or marbles from Ukraine, where numerous teams of workers they were also employed coming from the whole union to which the thick contribution of the young boys of the communist Party (in Russian KOMSOMOL), was placed side by side, that an enormous contribution represented for the realization of the ambitious project to which the fabulous station has been devoted metro KOMSOMOLSKAYA that represents in its absolute shine a work of art of indisputable beauty among the stupendous elaborate finishing touch of the ceilings, to the sumptuous chandeliers that fall from the roofs and still marbles, bronzes, paintings everything furnished and assembled in unique way so much to let the tourist to doubt to be under a station of the metro, but on the contrary in a sumptuous Kingdom room, to the discovery then in its long corridors you can arrive in other rooms incredibly you also furnish in perfect art balconies with handrails in thick wood, bridges and stairways from which it is possible possession a view of the underlying corridor to a little upsetting dir. But it obviously is not the only station museum this, in fact the meter was used in the years of the second world war from the German missiles and a lot of stations they are now devoted to the thick country that the Soviet union conducted against the Nazis, where paintings marvelous frescos are found on the walls of soldiers that fight to the front or of the dictator that talks to the nation the everything always edged by fabulous plasters or floors to mosaic or still pillars in bronze and the inevitable present Soviet banner in all the stations realized in cement or in bronze and still the wordings it engraved in the walls of the date of May 9, 1945 (victory on the Nazis). Other stations are devoted to the father of the Soviet union instead as well as undisputed leader of the Bolshevik party Lenin and to its very famous revolution that the dynasty upset Romanov, busts in bronze of the leader or representations of the same in held by fighter and other statues of country communes that have contributed to the birth of the Soviet union they are like master in these stations with the inevitable effect from real room and the picturesque illuminations of the rooms of attended they make the subway in Moscow a place to visit not less than the Kremlin and Red square.
