St. Petersburg Russia Metro - August 2019

We cruised the Baltic in August 2019 to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. One port of call on the cruise was St. Petersburg Russia where we spent two days on a guided tour. The tour included spending sometime in The Metro which is one of the deepest in the world. St. Petersburg is a series of islands so the metro had to be run deep enough to go under the surrounding waterways. We traveled on the longest escalator we’ve ever seen. Original designers incorporated art into the stations and platforms. We were told the idea was to create an art museum for the masses. As you can see in the video, everything appeared to be dated but was clean and well maintained.
