Moscow Metro Map

If you look down below you will find a good Moscow Metro map to help you navigate the city`s mammoth maze-like public transportation city.

The Moscow Metro is the rapid transit system that functions within the city of Moscow, Russia. It also runs in the nearby town of Krasnogorsk, which functions like a bedtown or commuter city. In the beginning it was a simple 11 km long single train line with only 13 stations, but today has grown into a massive city with 185 stations totalling 305.7 km. Most of the system is underground subway. After the Tokyo subway, Moscow`s metro system is the second-most used subway system in the world with average daily passenger traffic reaching 6.6 million.

It is a state-owned system rather than a private one.

Hopefully the Moscow Metro Map choices above are good. To be honest, there are a lot of maps of the Moscow metro but they`re pretty much all the same so I thought just these 2 would be enough.

Check out this video of massive crowds in the Moscow subway. This is after a special sporting event or something, so don`t think that it`s always this crowded. But the fact that it can ever get this bad shows you just how busy of a rapid transit system it really is.

Map of Moscow

Look down below to find a useful map of Moscow, Russia.

This first map of Moscow is absolutely gigantic and is written in Russian. But maybe you can decipher it!

Moscow, pronounced Moskva in Russian, is the largest city in Russia as well as its capital city. It is also the most populous city in Europe, and sixth largest city in the world (when measured in terms of the city proper, without considering the entire metropolitan area). The city proper`s population is a whopping 11.5 million.

The city is located on the Moskva River, with the river and its canals flowing throughout the city. 49 birdges span the waterways throughout the city. The city is oriented around the Kremlin which rests at the center of the city, and the road system is focused around this central point.

The climate of Moscow is quite extreme, with warm and humid summers, and long cold winter seasons. In winter, temperatures are normally around -10 degrees celsius at night, and still below zero in the daytime. Snow is present for 3-5 months a year, from November to mid-March.

This next Moscow map isn`t quite as detailed but at least it`s written in Roman characters so you`re more likely to be able to read it.

Map Of Russia And The Black Sea

When the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991, it was succeeded by an organization called the Commonwealth of Independent States, which is a loose economic confederation rather than a unified country with a single ruling authority.

Below you can find several map of Russia and the Black Sea, with the former Soviet Republics alongside them. The member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. However, Ukraine has never ratified the CIS charter, so its membership is unofficial.

Russia, with a land mass of 17,075,400 square kilometers, is the largest country in the world. It covers more than an eighth of the Earth’s total land area. It has a population of 142 million people, making it the 9th most populous country in the world. Did you know that Russia spans 11 time zones?!

The Black Sea is a large inland sea with an area of 436,400 km² (168,495 sq mi), forming a natural boundary between Europe and Western Asia. The Bosphorous Strait and The Strait of Dardanelles are considered the border between European Turkey and Asian Turkey.
