Moscow metro map - interactive diagram with time calculation
The Moscow Metro is historically the first and largest metro in Russia. This metro system is the fifth most heavily used metro system in the world. The first line opened in 1935 and bore the name of Kaganovich, and from 1955 it began to bear the name of Lenin.
Moscow metro stations have a rich history, and the stations of the Stalin period have rich decoration. Many of them are recognized as cultural heritage sites. For example, today many consider Mayakovskaya station the most beautiful, and during the Second World War there was a hospital there.
There are many legends associated with the Moscow metro. For example, the Revolution Square station is decorated with sculptures. And there is a belief that if a student rubs the nose of a dog near the sculpture “Border Guard with a Dog,” then he will have good luck in the exam.
Today the Moscow metro system consists of 14 lines. It is constantly evolving, with up to a dozen new stations appearing every year. And if you compare what the map/scheme of the Moscow metro was like at least 5 years ago and what it is like today, the difference will be very noticeable.
The government plans to build 53 more new stations by 2021.
In the fall of 2021, the 14th line opened - the Moscow Central Circle. Physically, this is a separate structure from the metro, operated by Russian Railways, but no additional fare is required when transferring from this line to others. At some stations the transfer takes very little time, while at others you need to walk a short distance along the street. When constructing a route, the Moscow metro map of our website takes into account the time required to move from line 14 to others. And despite the transfer not always being immediate, this ring allows you to move around the city much faster.
It is very easy to get confused in the metro map, especially for guests of Moscow. Our website was created to help you easily plan your route and get to your destination. We have a detailed metro plan.
There are about ten different maps of the Moscow metro on the Internet. We analyzed them all and realized that we could make ours more convenient and informative.
An interactive diagram/map of the Moscow metro lays out the route and highlights it on the map, and also determines the travel time and the number of transfers. Left-click on two stations in succession, and our website will show you the route, as well as an approximate travel time estimate. If you find it difficult to find a station on the map, use the panel at the top of the screen: start entering the name of the station in the “From” and “To” fields, select the necessary stations from the list that appears, and they will be marked on the map along with the route.
