Hey / What's up
The Moscow Metro is a tourist attraction in itself โ stations like Komsomolskaya, Mayakovskaya, and Novoslobodskaya are palatial with mosaics, marble, and chandeliers. Buy a Troika card at any station; a single swipe costs far less than tourist day passes. Avoid rush hour (8โ9 am, 5:30โ7 pm) when carriages are wall-to-wall.
Tip 18โ20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks โ stay right, pass left.

๐บ๐ธ New York Fun Fact
New York City has 468 subway stations โ more than any other city in the world.
