> 1. Moscow, Russia
> What's Cool: The marble, quartzite and other stones covering the subway
> stations came from all four corners of the former Soviet Union.

> With huge, cathedral-like stations designed and embellished by prominent
> Russian architects, artists and sculptors, one might wonder if the Moscow
> Metro is a subway or a vast underground art museum. Moscow's is now the
> busiest subway system in the world, carrying some 8 million passengers
> each
> day. The Russian people have a sentimental attachment to their subway, and
> not just because of its beauty. Metro tunnels sheltered the city's
> residents
> from German bombs in World War II and were deliberately dug deep into the
> ground to serve as refuge from a possible American nuclear strike.
