ST. PETERSBURG SUBWAY - RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG SUBWAY
ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

Something told me that our tour of St. Petersburg, Russia was a bit orchestrated so that we only saw the good stuff.  Take for example the one subway ride that we took.  Looked more like a museum with art filled corridors and museum quality mosaics.  The escalator ride down to the trains was amazing.  Probably the longest escalator ride of my life.  The escalator was filled in both directions but the tunnel was quiet and amazingly civil with everyone seeming to be going the same speed and not rushing.  We were warned to beware of pickpockets as we were in all of the Baltic region.  

T-SHIRTS WITH PRESIDENT PUTAN WERE ON SALE IN SMALL SHOP AWAY FROM SUBWAY 
THE CLEANEST, MOST ORGANIZED AND ART FILLED SUBWAY I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED
ONE OF THE LONGEST ESCALATOR RIDES EVER
YOU COULD EAT OFF THE FLOORS HERE - NO TRASH OR GRAFFITI 
MURALS AND MOSAICS COVER THE WALLS
BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART IN A SUBWAY STATION
MORE LIKE A MUSEUM
MARBLE WALLS
ALEXANDER THE GREAT STOOD LIKE 6' 7" TALL WE WERE TOLD
NOTHING IN ENGLISH SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GUIDE
VERY QUIET AND ORDERLY CONSIDERING THE THOUSANDS OF RIDERS
