Default Moscow Metro vs. London Underground

Greetings.

I found that the moscow metro was slightly less useful for tourists
because in the central area the stations seemed more spread out. It's
probably better for commuting and covering distance, but not so good
for popping between sights.


This disadvantage is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Moscow doesn't
actually have that many tourist sites. There aren't nearly as many museums
and historical buildings as, say, London or Vienna. But I do agree that
the stations are very far apart, even in the city centre. It's something I
noticed in Budapest and St. Petersburg as well.

Regards,
Tristan
