Russia visa-free: Moscow Metro in 360 degrees

This 360-degree video will place you at the heart of the bustling yet gorgeous Moscow subway. Hold your breath, we're going deeper underground. Next station — Ploschad Revolyutsii.

To watch 360° videos, you need the latest version of Chrome, Opera, Firefox, or Internet Explorer on your computer. On mobile devices, use the latest version of the YouTube app for Android or iOS.

If you haven't yet been in the Moscow Metro, one of the key attractions of the Russian capital, you should definitely try it.

And before you book your flight, here's a glimpse of what you're about to see. This 360-degree video creates a truly immersive experience allowing you to look left, right, up, down and behind. You’ll immediately feel like a passenger on the world's most beautiful subway.

Imagine the center of Moscow, just a few steps away from the Kremlin, Red Square and the Bolshoi Theater. You're going down to Ploschad Revolyutsii, a masterpiece of Stalinist architecture featuring striking arched ceilings and 76 bronze sculptures of soldiers, farmers, athletes, writers, aviators, industrial workers, and schoolchildren.

The most popular is a frontier guard with a dog. There is a belief among Moscow students that if you rub the dog’s nose you will pass your exams. And if you touch the gun of the “revolutionary sailor” sculpture, the day will go well.

Let the journey begin. Enjoy!
