Virtually visit the Moscow Metro

Posted on 3 April 2020

The Moscow Metro is famous for its opulance. Tourists flock to see Metro in all its glory. From the old world Soviet design to hyper-modern architecture, each station is eye-catching and has a unique tale to tell.

Under the lockdown rules in Russia, the best way to explore the Metro is virtually. The Moscow Metro Career Guidance Centre recently announced that five virtual activities would be available per day.

These include guided tours, history discussions, architecture tours, visits to the control room, access to stations that have been closed for years and more. The tours will depart from the Metro’s official Instagram account. If you miss the train, it will remain live on their story for 24 hours.

So far, the tours have been in Russian but the Metro account announced on Thursday 2 April that tours will also be taken in English. The English tours will start with the ‘introduction to Moscow Metro History’ at 4PM (Moscow time/ 3 PM in South Africa) on 8 April.

The Moscow Metro is the sixth busiest rapid transit system in the world. It has been in operation since 1935 and has 236 working stations.

Eng ⬇️…. Долго думал о том, публиковать ли на рабочей странице свое видение окружающего меня мира, в конкретном случае – московское метро. Для многих это средство передвижения, место чтения, сна, а для кого-то, как я, это пространство для вдохновения и творчества. Я метро вижу так! Предлагаю и вам увидеть это моими глазами, немного больше, чем просто метро. Это масштаб, это простые, но где-то гениальные архитектурные решения. Даже в самом обыденном можно увидеть нечто особенное, как это вижу я через объектив своего телефона! ————————————————————————————— Had many thoughts whether to publish or not on the working page my vision of the world surrounding me, as a case – Moscow metro. For many people, it ‘s just a means of transport, a place to read, sleep, and for someone like me, it ‘s a space for inspiration and creativity. I see the subway this way! You can see it with my eyes, a little more than just a subway. It ‘s a volume, there are simple but somewhere brilliant architectural solutions. Even in the most ordinary you can see something special, as I see through the lens of my phone! ⠀ #archjoint #infomoscow24 #architect #москва24
