Main content

Planning a trip with children.

Even before your holiday begins, you can make a number of preparations that will enable your whole family to enjoy a relaxed start to the holiday.

Important information about flying with children

EU regulations state that every child must have his or her own travel document with a photograph. Unfortunately, including children on your passport is not valid, irrespective of the children’s ages. If your children are not yet in possession of child passports, passports or ID cards, we recommend that you apply for them as soon as possible. When booking your flight, please state the ages of your children, as the respective fares will be based on this. Lufthansa differentiates between two types of children’s fare:

Infant fare: Babies (0-2 years) who do not occupy a seat travel free on German domestic flights and for 10 per cent of the regular fare on all other routes.
Child fare: Children aged between 2 and 11 years (up to their 12th birthday) must occupy their own seat and travel for 75 per cent of the regular price of the flight on most routes and on almost all fares. Please note that babies who turn 2 years old during the flight will be required to occupy their own seat and will be charged the child fare.

Country-specific travel regulations

It is each passenger’s responsibility to find out about current entry and exit regulations and to take the required documents with them. Lufthansa accepts no responsibility in these circumstances. You are responsible for obtaining all the required travel documents and visas for your journey for yourself and your children and for complying with all the rules of the countries from, to or over which you will be flying. The same applies to our regulations and instructions in this respect.

Advance seat reservation for the family

On a long-haul flight, it is particularly important that the whole family sits together and that your children can sit in their favourite seats, for example by the window or near the lavatories. So we recommend that you reserve your seats in advance when you make your flight booking. Economy Class passengers can reserve seats on all flights operated by Lufthansa and Lufthansa Regional for a fee, depending on the selected fare or booking class.

Criteria for Evaluation

Criteria for choosing the best upright stroller.

Choosing an appropriate stroller that sits your little one as upright as possible is a personal decision so here are some helpful criteria for picking your next upright stroller.

1. Best Visibility

It goes without saying that your stroller needs to be upright to give your child the best visibility when you’re out on your travels. Whether I’m out shopping or away on vacation, I know it’s important for me that my boys face outwards and are as upright as possible as they love to see what’s going on.

Riley, my youngest loves being out and loves people watching and taking it all in, being upright in his pram keeps him quiet for hours. It was also important for me to keep him upright as he suffers from colic and reflux, and I found keeping him upright really helped him. Generally, children are nosey and want to see everything, therefore, make sure your stroller goes as upright as possible.

2. Adjustability

It’s important that not only does your stroller sit upright but that it’s adjustable, meaning you can change its position and angle. I always look for a stroller with an adjustable backrest, you’ll normally find cords at the back of the seat to change its position. This is great if they get tired, you can simply adjust the straps and lay it flat or tilt it for the perfect position.

3. Versatility

A versatile stroller is always recommended, this allows you to totally change the seating arrangements, so you could have the seat facing outwards or towards you or even laying flat. Not only that, you can build your own travel system which will allow you to change between beds, car seats and stroller seats giving you complete control in any situation or for any occasion.

4. Safety Features

Buying a new stroller is an important decision, therefore you need to get a reliable and safe pram. Always look for safety features especially around the shoulder and waist straps, the material used and the quality. Yes, a cheap stroller may look tempting but it can be poorly made using cheap materials that could break, tear or snap.

5. Comfort and Straps

After safety, I would say that your child’s comfort is next on the priority list. Again, this related to your strollers quality of materials, cheap materials can be irritant and uncomfortable. Make sure your stroller is made from the highest quality materials, there is a padding comfortable seat and ensure the shoulder and waist straps are adjustable and have the necessary amount of padding.

6. Weight and Portability

I would always recommend getting a lightweight stroller which is strong and durable enough to hold my child’s body weight and then some more! This way I know I’ll have a good few years out of it and that I can also attach my baby bags and store any shopping in the strollers bottom storage pouch.

My first pram I bought for Brody my eldest boy was great, however, It was too big and bulky, and was so hard to go out and about. It would take me 15-minutes to get all set-up. So, for me, it’s very important that my stroller is lightweight, portable and easy to use, but at the same time durable and made from high-quality materials.

7. Travel Friendly

We love traveling and taking regular vacations, so for us, it’s important that our stroller is ‘travel-friendly’, by this I mean; its portable, foldable and lightweight. I want something that opens and closes fast and something that’s great for whizzing around the airports or exploring new places. If you’re going on vacation then I would make sure your new stroller meets the criteria above.

8. Value for Money

As I mentioned earlier, sometimes it isn’t always the best idea to get the cheapest stroller you can find. This can backfire, in my opinion, it’s worth paying that bit extra and getting something that will last you. As you might find yourself buying that cheap stroller a couple of times a year when in reality it probably would have been cheaper, in the long run, to buy the slightly more expensive one in the first place.

Find a mid-range stroller that has a good reputation and brand name. They usually come with a years manufacturer warranty and a generally made from the best materials which are made to last. You can, however, grab yourself a bargain but make sure you do your search and always read the reviews.

You can rest assured that I have done mine with my top 10 strollers, they’re all reasonably priced and great quality! Hopefully, this will save you some time picking yours.

Final Thoughts

If you have made it down this far of the review, I hope you have enjoyed our top 10 strollers that sit upright and that you have now found your perfect new stroller. Thanks for reading!

Best House Sitting Websites 2024: How to Find Long-Term House Sitting Jobs?

by Denise Mai | Last updated Jan 4, 2024

One of the questions people ask me the most about being a digital nomad is how we constantly find new places to live. I have already talked about my general strategy to find long-term accommodation around the globe in an earlier blog post. Today I want to go more into detail on house-sitting websites and how you can find long-term house-sitting jobs.

In my opinion, house sitting is massively underrated because it’s such a fantastic way to find free accommodation while traveling. Learn what international house sitting is, how you can find long-term house sitting jobs, and what the best house sitting websites are.

Table of Contents

Best House Sitting Websites

What are house sitting services.

When a person has to leave the apartment or house for a while, for example, because of a vacation, he or she often needs someone to take care of the property. These caretakers are called house sitters.

A house sit can have any length – from just a weekend to weeks or months in a row . It can be a stylish city apartment or a cozy country house.

Usually, house sitters get to live in the house for free and are allowed to use all or most amenities the place has to offer. In return, the house sitter has to fulfill certain duties which can include:

Taking care of pets, e.g. walking the dogs, feeding them, or washing them
Watering plants
Performing smaller maintenance work, e.g. lawns, or controlling pool filter systems
Readdressing the mail
Keeping trespassers off the property

It is always up to you and the homeowner on what you agree on. In some houses, you don’t have to do anything but be present. Other places require a bit more effort.

The places I have sat so far required me to take care of cats and dogs, accept mail, and water the plants. So very simple tasks that you can easily do next to your remote job.

You can find house-sitting opportunities in the city, at the beach, in the mountains, or in the countryside – literally anywhere.

What’s in there for the Homeowner?

Just in case you are still wondering why people would let strangers into their houses and live there. For free!

Well, basically for the above-mentioned benefits that you will get. If they are away for a few days, weeks, or even months, they need someone to take care of their property and pets . Family and friends might live somewhere else or they have jobs and can’t stay in the house every day.

A perfect solution is to let someone in who can live and work from everywhere. Someone who likes to see new places, meet new people, enjoy a free stay, and like take care of houses and pets.

In addition, if they keep the house empty, potential housebreakers might notice that there is no light on and no one is at home. So having someone live in the place, reduces the risk of housebreaking a lot.

Homeowners need someone to take care of their places and pets while they are away.

What are the Benefits of International House Sitting?

I’m a huge fan of international house sitting and I think it’s a great way for digital nomads and long-term travelers to find accommodation. Here are some of the advantages:

It’s free! Especially, when you are just starting out as a digital nomad and are on a tight budget, this is the perfect way for you to save a lot of money. A friend of mine managed to house-sit for 9 months within one year. Just imagine how much money she saved!
You get a fully equipped house. Don’t underestimate that! I have stayed in so many places where I had to buy stuff like duvets and pillows or cutlery and pots for only a short stay, like 5 weeks – super annoying! You even get to enjoy things that you normally wouldn’t find in a holiday flat, let alone in a hotel, for instance, a blender or a washing machine.
You have internet. The most important thing for a digital nomad. In many long-term rentals, you will have to organize your own internet access. Of course, you can always buy a mobile hotspot or a global hotspot . However, this will soon get expensive and it might not be fast enough for your needs. And for broadband in your new place: Many providers offer 12-month plans only and they need up to a couple of weeks to install it. Often they are just not flexible enough for the life of a digital nomad.
You live like a local. You move to a new country for many reasons. One of them is sure that you want to get to know the local culture. To live like a local is a perfect starting point to do so. What do their houses look like? What’s important to them? What are their daily routines? These are all insights that you won’t be able to get in a usual rental apartment.
Experience new areas . You won’t stay in the typical touristy areas but get to see completely new city districts and places you normally wouldn’t go to. Be off the beaten track and experience authentic local life.
Take care of pets. Yes, that is a huge benefit for me. I grew up with pets and have always been surrounded by them. Being a digital nomad makes it hard to have little fluffy friends with you and I really miss that. So I thoroughly enjoy every minute I get to spend with them. Plus, pets keep you active, healthy, and happy. Reason enough to spend more time with them.
You meet new people . For one, you meet the homeowners and will probably get an extensive introduction to their homes. You will also most likely get to meet curious neighbors who want to get to know the person from abroad. And if you want to, I’m sure many homeowners are happy to connect you with friends, just in case you need help with something. A great way to make friends while traveling.

If you love pets, you will love house-sitting jobs!

What are the Challenges of International House Sitting?

As with everything, house-sitting abroad can have its challenges, too. Here are the potential downsides:

Competition can be tough . House sitting abroad is a constantly growing concept. Unfortunately, there are often way more house sitters than there are house owners. Especially in popular cities, it can be harder to score your desired house sit opportunity.
You have responsibilities. Something that you can’t argue with. When you house-sit a place you have to do whatever your duties are. You can’t simply go on a weekend trip and leave the dog behind. The homeowners trust you to take good care of their house and pets. Whether you always feel like it or not.

When doing house sitting jobs you have responsibilities, too – it’s not just free accommodation!

What Are the Best House Sitting Websites?

Luckily, there are quite a few apps out there today, that connect homeowners with potential house sitters. I have tested some in the past 10 years and liked the house-sitting websites TrustedHousesitters and HouseCarers by far the most.

1. TrustedHousesitters

TrustedHousesitters launched in 2010 and has since grown into the potentially biggest community of house sitters and homeowners. They offer house sits all over the world and let you filter your search results for countries, dates, and pet types you like to take care of.

As with every house-sitting website, there is an annual membership fee. As a member, you are able to get in touch with all listed potential homeowners. For TrustedHousesitters this is USD 129. That might sound like a lot of money for membership but trust me, it’s worth it!

Just imagine what you would spend when you had to rent a place somewhere. Depending on the city maybe 400-1.200 USD a month? So if you only do a few house-sitting days a year, this money was well invested and saved you so much in rental expenses!

2. HouseCarers

HouseCarers is one of the oldest players on the market. They started connecting homeowners and house sitters in 2000 and have now an extensive worldwide house-sitting directory. You can filter for countries, regions, and the period you want to stay. At the moment, there are not too many house-sitting jobs listed but that could change once people get to travel more again.

Nomador is another great house-sitting website that combines travel and pets. There are currently more than 23,000 houses to sit which gives you plenty of options to choose from. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for house-sits in Europe, America, or the rest of the world. With so many offers, you can surely find the right place for you.

4. MindMyHouse

MindMyHouse is definitely one of the cheapest house-sitting websites out there. You only pay USD 20 per year and can apply to any open house sitting job. At the time of updating this article, there are only 93 open house-sits on the website. Not too many but you may still be able to find something that could work for you.

5. HouseSit Match

HouseSit Match offers not only fantastic sitting jobs around the world but also sees itself as a social network for housesitters. What’s special here is that you can’t only find houses to sit but could also go for pet-sitting options if this is what you prefer. This is brilliant for animal lovers such as me who already have accommodation but love to take care of pets.

The only downside: There is only a hand full of active house-sitting jobs on this website at the moment.

How to Find Long-Term House-Sitting Jobs?

As mentioned before, house-sitting abroad is getting more and more popular. To find and get accepted to great places you should follow these steps:

First, you need to start by building a great profile . List all your experiences with pets or house-sitting. Let people know why you are qualified to take care of their homes and mention your characteristics. Make sure to make it as personal as possible. Potential homeowners want to get a feeling for what kind of person you are. They need to like you.
Include the right photos. You don’t need to be in a suit and tie. But photos of you in a bikini at a busy pool party might look like you are only interested in fun and can’t handle the responsibilities and duties. Happy photos with pets are always great to show that you like animals and they like you, too. If possible, upload a video of you. That helps a lot in gaining trust!
Add a police check. Although it is often not required, many homeowners might feel better about having that credibility. In many countries, you only need to go to your next police station and ask for it or you can even do it online. In the UK it costs about 10 GBP. So it’s not that much of an investment.
Another great piece of advice regarding your profile comes from fellow digital nomad Kristie , who is a frequent house sitter for TrustedHousecarers:

“This isn’t like a resume where you just list your skills and attributes. If people are going to ask you in to their home to stay there without them and trust you with their pets then they need to trust and like you. Let them know about your personality, your interests, your background. Think of this site more like a dating site rather than a job search site , let potential sitters get to know you a bit.”

Build up references. This is hard in the beginning. It’s easier for homeowners to trust sitters who already have great reviews. It is a good idea to apply for house-sitting opportunities that are normally not of interest to you, either because they are only a couple of days or because they are in a city you are not interested in. Your chances of scoring this sit might be bigger and the good reference you get (hopefully) will help you a lot in getting better positions later on.
Be quick and write a personal application. As soon as you see a new opening that you like, apply for it! Don’t send out standard emails, though. Make sure you include details about the position, for example, the pet’s name (“My family had a German Sheppard, too, when I was little so I’m very familiar with this breed. I can’t wait to meet your Henry.”).
Be communicative. Don’t sit around and wait forever to respond to messages. Also, be willing and prepared for video calls with Skype or such so homeowners can get to know you even better.
Be patient. Especially in the beginning, when you don’t have any references to show or apply for popular locations, it is can take longer to get a place. Don’t be discouraged. This is normal and it will soon get faster after you’ve been to a few places.

If you want to house-sit abroad, you should use international house-sitting agencies.

Best International House-Sitting Tips

Make sure you have a visa that lasts your entire house-sitting stay. It would be a nightmare if you score a position for 3 months and after 4 weeks you realize that you can’t extend your visa and have to leave the country. This would be very irresponsible so make sure your visa is sorted.
Check out the location and logistics . Some house sitting options are right in a city center, others are not. If that house is in the middle of nowhere and there is no public transport available, no car or bike you can use, you have found out how to get there and you have to be ok with being stuck at the place for the entire time.
Before you agree on a house sit, clarify every potential payment. Who pays for utilities? What about maintenance costs? Pet food? In my experience, the homeowner takes care of these expenses (unless you keep the shower and heater running 24/7, of course). But make sure to talk about it early enough.
When you move in, one of the most important things to find out is emergency numbers. If the pet gets sick you need to know who you can contact. Or if the toilet breaks. Who is the plumber you should call? Get these numbers!
It is a great idea to stay in contact with the house owners , during your stay, too. Send them photos of their happy dogs playing in the park or their blooming orchids. Knowing that everything is alright and you have the situation under control gives them a good feeling, which will increase your chances of a great review.
Something that you don’t have to do but I think it’s a very nice idea : When the house owners return, place a bunch of flowers on the kitchen table and buy some basic food (bread, fruit, maybe have a tasty dish prepared). This is a small way of saying “Thank you for letting me stay in your wonderful house and welcome back home!”. And again, it increases your chances of a nice review.

Make sure you thank your homeowner for letting you rent their place for free.

House Sitting Sites

Applying for Your First Sit

Important Things to Consider

House sitting has become increasingly popular in recent years, combining temporary accommodation, travel, and animal companionship all in one. In exchange for taking care of somebody’s house and, more often than not, pets while they are on vacation, you get to stay in their home.

House sits can range anywhere from a few days to several months. Available worldwide, they are a fantastic way to travel to many different places; many use it as a way to slow travel, meaning you spend a lengthier time in each area and focus on more of a local experience rather than a jam-packed weekend of sightseeing. There is more to house sitting than simply free accommodation, however, and this guide can help you get started.

The best and easiest way to secure house sits is through a subscription site. There are many to choose from, depending on the location you are aiming for, your budget, and how often you want to use them. These are just a few of the most popular sites.

Trusted Housesitters

Trusted Housesitters is often at the top of the list of sites to use, although for $129 a year, it runs at one of the highest membership fees to sign up as a sitter. If you know an existing member, it’s easy enough to obtain a referral fee for a 25 percent discount, opening up a variety of available international house sits. The interface is easy to use with plenty of filters to help refine your search, the ability to build your profile, and quality support 24/7. Although international, it’s mostly useful for the U.K., Europe, and North America.

MindMyHouse

Started back in 2005, MindMyHouse was one of the very first house sitting sites. The "mom and pop" business has fewer options than others, but as membership is $20 for sitters and free for owners, it's a great option to have. The sits are mostly within Europe and the U.S., although there are more than 80 countries listed on the dropdown search. The interface is basic but easy to use, and the site remains popular within the house sitting community.

House Sitters America

If you’re staying within the U.S., House Sitters America is arguably your best bet. The annual membership fee is $49, for which you can search nationwide with an extensive list of filter options including region and locale, house type, amenities, sit length, and type of pet. House Sitters America has been up and running for more than 12 years, and has established itself as one of the top house sitting sites for the U.S., with a huge variety of available sits.

Running on the higher end of membership fees at $89 per year, Nomador comes with the added benefit of a free trial that’s good for up to three applications. Originating in France for European house sits, it now operates globally with a focus on Europe and the Americas.

Kiwi House Sitters, Aussie House Sitters

If you’re heading to New Zealand or Australia, these house sitting sites are recognized as some of the top in their respective countries. Members of House Sitters America will find the exact same layout and search functions on these two associated sites, which provide multiple filter options and a large choice of sits in all areas of each country.

Applying for Your First Sit

Once you’ve signed up, it’s important to spend time on your profile. Add plenty of photos that represent who you are, and because you will likely be taking care of pets, include as many as you can of you with animals. Then, fill out the rest of your profile fully, verifying your ID through the site, and adding a description about who you are and why you want to house sit. If you have prior experience taking care of pets or houses, get a reference and add it to your profile.

Before applying for a sit, read through the details completely, making sure that you fit the requirements, which may include gardening, taking care of multiple pets, and sometimes having a car. Craft your message to the homeowner and show that you’ve read their post; ask questions, point out a common interest, outline any relevant experience you have, and mention where you are currently located.

If the homeowner is interested, the next step is to organize a video chat, or at the very least a phone call. Housesitting is a two-way system, so it’s important that you both get a good vibe when you talk to each other. Think of this as an interview, for them and for you, and ask all the questions you have about the home, pets, your responsibilities, and the area. Trust your instincts: If there are red flags or you get an uneasy feeling during the call, don't be afraid to pass on an offer.

It’s not free accommodation: If you’re looking for a way to get free digs while you travel, this isn’t it. House sitting is an exchange and you are selected as a responsible person to take care of someone’s house and pets. This means keeping the house secure and clean, taking in mail, and treating it as you would your own place.

You must love animals: While you can find house sits that come without pets, for the most part, people are looking for someone to take care of their beloved animals. This can mean taking dogs out for daily walks, administering medicine for an elderly cat, or cleaning up bird poop—being an animal lover is paramount.

Communication is key: Stay in contact with the homeowner, even after you’ve secured the sit. Keep an open line of communication where you and the homeowners can stay up to date, share photos of the animals, and ask any questions—especially for longer sits. Be honest about anything within the house that has broken or gone wrong so that there are no surprises when they return.

Not all house sits are alike: There are many variables within house sitting—not only with the type of house and pet you may be taking care of, but what the owners are flexible on. Some welcome couples, families, and people traveling with their own pets. Others even offer payments, which is more likely to happen when you're looking after multiple pets or a garden that requires meticulous care.

Be adaptable: Be prepared for anything, whether it’s a cancellation, a change in dates, or a pandemic! Always have a backup plan and maintain communication with the homeowners so that if things change, you can talk things through.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity. While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration. Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way. The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow. The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum. Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide. What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater. You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure . I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history. It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River. Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention. The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper. Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station. Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action. The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases). Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur. It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city. The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life. Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature . The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile. However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment. Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections. At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again). Chrome borders all. Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft. There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects. Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display. By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry. The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform. The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns. The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students. Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success. Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing. At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45. Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics. This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area. Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market. The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in. The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya. Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya. At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north. Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center. Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii. Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow. Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

Travel could be a good deal this summer. Here's when plane ticket prices will peak.

Spring is springing, and according to Hopper, it’s time to start thinking about your summer vacation plans.

New data from the online booking site shows some favorable trends for travelers in the next few months, including slightly lower airfares compared with 2023 and hotel and car rental prices that are more or less flat year-over-year.

Here’s what you need to know as you prepare to book, whether you’re looking for a domestic getaway or go on an overseas adventure. It’s also not too late to take advantage of deals on some last-minute trips.

How much are spring and summer plane tickets?

According to Hopper, the best deals right now are on domestic airline tickets. Round-trip flights within the U.S. are averaging $290 in April, but prices are expected to rise in the months ahead.

Hopper’s data shows prices for domestic flights will peak between May and June at $315 on average, then will gradually fall through the summer, reaching a low of $264 on average in September.

On a call with investors discussing first-quarter earnings Wednesday, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said summer travel demand has been pushed forward in recent years in part because schools, especially in the South, are finishing their summer breaks earlier in the year.

Is airport Wi-Fi safe to use? How to keep your information safe while traveling.

Short vs. long cruises: Which one is right for you? Here's how they compare.

This summer also will be a good time to travel internationally; Hopper data shows fares to most destinations abroad are down compared with last year.

“Airfare to international destinations continues to improve following two years of bloated prices due to quickly recovering demand, high fuel prices and supply constraints. Airfare to most major regions of the world has dropped compared to last year with the exception of trips to Canada,” Hayley Berg, Hopper’s chief economist, said in the report. “International fares remain higher than pre-pandemic levels to most regions, as higher fuel prices persist and airlines continue to rebuild capacity to many regions.”

How much will a hotel room for the spring and summer cost?

Hotel prices remain mostly flat compared with the same time last year. Rooms in the U.S. are averaging $206 a night; better deals are available in some trending international destinations like Osaka, Japan, and Istanbul, Turkey.

According to Hopper, Las Vegas, New York and Chicago remain popular destinations in the U.S.

Will car rental prices rise this summer?

Car rental prices also haven’t increased much since last year and average $42 a day, according to Hopper.

The report shows most travelers rent a car for about four days, and warm-weather destinations like Orlando and Los Angeles remain popular pickup points.
