Moscow is the capital city of Russia. It is one of the largest cities in Europe. Around twelve
million people live there. Many tourists visit
Moscow every year to see its famous sights and
fantastic architecture.
The most popular means of transport for locals
and visitors is the metro. The Moscow metro is
very fast. It has more than 225 stations around
the city and it is always very busy. About ten
million passengers use it every day from 6am to
1am. Passengers can tell where a train goes from
the voice of the announcers. All trains that
go to
the centre have a male voice and trains that go
away from the centre have a female voice.
The metro goes to all major sights. The
Station Ploshchad Revolutsii takes you to the
Kremlin and Red Square. The metro station
Teatralnaya is near the Bolshoi and Maly
Theatres. But the metro is also an attraction in
itself. People call it "Underground Palace”,
because many stations are really beautiful with
mosaic ceilings, wonderful chandeliers?,
beautiful sculptures and brilliant paintings.
For a real life adventure, every visitor to this
beautiful city should take a ride on the
underground metro. It is one of Moscow's major
