This video is a bit older. You’ve probably seen it on my old blog. Well, I’ve been in exactly the same situtation this morning, so I decided to re-post it, especially since the old blog is gone.

I’ve written about this before. Moscow has a vast network of tunnels and halls under its surface. Some old bunkers, forgotten subway stations and much more. There are a few brave, who explore these tunnels. Apparently you can even take tours. The last time I heard about it, I was told its not very safe, though. Apparently, besides of structural problems and other dangerous stuff, some criminals are using the tunnels and they don’t want you to hang out there. Well, I guess you don’t have to go down there. We are living in a time, where you can watch all of this online on Youtube. Enjoy!

Wow! I’m impressed. Just found this really cool tool and from the looks of it, its from the official Moscow Metro authorities. Its a flash based map, which allows you to plan a trip. Its looking for the fastest way and calculating the time you need from A to B. This is a great and useful tool and even in English! If it would only load a bit faster and be printable, but nothing is perfect.
Here is it http://engl.mosmetro.ru/flash/scheme01.html
