Often called "The People's Palaces," the Moscow Metro is one of the most efficient and extensive metro systems in the world, but its real draw for tourists is the extravagant decoration of its soviet-era stations, each one of them a work of art in itself.

The metro currently comprises 172 stations, and the system carries well over seven million passengers a day on average, more than the Paris and New York systems combined.
