If you do it, it won’t be boring: amazing metro stations from different countries (17 photos)

Everyone knows that some metro stations in Moscow and St. Petersburg are more like a museum. When it was built in the USSR, they tried to make almost every station with some kind of twist. But an amazing and absolutely stunning metro is still being built in some countries. In this post, we have selected several metro stations that are more like contemporary art.





The ceiling of this Iranian station makes you think for a moment that you are flying headfirst into the desert. Also the brick is similar to ancient city walls.



There is a bizarre ceiling in Greater Helsinki. It would seem a simple solution, but a very successful one.





And this is a station in Shanghai, the longest metro in the world. The massive ceiling and imitation of a metropolis on the walls are reminiscent of the bustle of the Shanghai city.



And at this station in Istanbul, metro builders also used a very simple solution - to make lighting. But it looks alive and fascinating.



And this painted tile in Istanbul shows us a piece of its history.



Maybe someone has seen the Alexander Nevsky Square metro station in St. Petersburg? There the walls are made as if from the prince’s chain mail. In Istanbul they went even further. Just look as if the ship is really floating on the waves.



But in the city of Haifa (Israel), unlike Shanghai, there is the shortest metro. And there are such cute drawings in it.



If you love steampunk, go to Paris.



Well, or to Lisbon. Just look at these columns. Reminds me of Mario.



But this laconic decision was made by the Prague metro builders.



Taiwanese metro designers decided to make something so bright that it would dazzle your eyes long after leaving the subway.



The Natural History Museum in Stockholm starts at the metro station - just look at these instructive drawings.



This Stockholm metro station is also carved out of stone, but it’s really very beautiful.



Stockholm metro builders are generally quite diverse. Here at one station there are columns that incline us towards modernity, and, on the contrary, antique-looking sculptures.



And this is the Technical University station there. It's beauty.



And this Budapest station is somewhat reminiscent of footage from Star Gate. Or not. But in general, it looks very much like a scattering of stars, planets or a trace from a spaceship.
