They say it is not as majestic as the Moscow metro but I'd live down here if I had the chance ..."palatial" is the word I'd use to describe the network. In that respect the metro is in keeping with the rest of the city. It is the deepest subway in the world so truly vertiginous on the way down in the escalator. The trains run every 2-3 minutes so getting around St.Petersburg is easy and cheap (less than a dollar a ride). I'm crazy about metros so it has been a fun week getting around these stations which are decked out in marble, full of chandeliers, beautiful murals, artwork, with labyrinthine passage ways and surprises around every corner.
