Rub a dog’s nose for good fortune. Think back to Russia’s 1917 Bolshevik insurgency. Wonder about a mosaic spaceman. Possibly watch an expressive dance. Moscow’s metro is one of the busiest and most outwardly dazzling underground frameworks on the planet. It is a tourist site in its own privilege.
Made as a grandstand for the Soviet Union, its intricate, extensive stations are enhanced with mosaics, marble statues and recolored glass that recount the tale of the comrade state.

The Moscow metro’s perfect stations are a blend of old and new. Get off at Ploshchad Revolutsii (Revolution Square) and you will see travelers going up to a statue of a fringe monitor and rubbing his puppy’s sense about good fortune. There are four such statues in the station, and every one of the canines have sparkly noses from the steady rubbing.
