METRO

The metro is the easiest and quickest way to get around in big cities in Russia. All metro stations are easily found by the “M” signs. Generally the metro system is very logical and easy to use. There are also information points at most of the stations with intercom connection to the station controller which can be used for assistance (however do not expect everyone to understand English). Please note, most signboards are in Russian, however the maps of the metro system have Latin transcription

Metro stations are normally open for passengers daily from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. Passengers must pay the fare every time they enter the metro. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office at any station entrance and are available for 1 or more rides.

Price

Children under 7 travel free. Once you have validated your travel card at the station entrance, you can use the whole metro system without any restrictions or extra charges for distances or time spent travelling (there are no travel zones).
