The Moscow Metro is perhaps the most beautiful subway system in the world. When we visited Russia several years ago, we spent a bit of time in the Metro, visiting the stations that were most famous for their unique designs. It was quite enjoyable. The escalators are so long, so steep and so fast that they should be classified as amusement rides!
Today I had my first experience on the Tokyo subways. They are efficient, but lack the charm of the Moscow Metro. I have traveled the suways of New York, DC, Paris, London Rome, and several other cities, but none come close to the Moscow Metro.
