- Your date begins at your initial meet-up spot. Together, you'll venture into the subway, a pivotal space for Moscow's street art scene. As you journey deep into the city's underground, you'll come across striking graffiti pieces showcasing diverse artistic styles. Each subway station visited has its own unique character and essence, representing the voice and creativity of the city's youth and street artist community.
- There are no guided tours here; you and your partner are given free rein to explore at your own pace. This lends itself to a genuine and authentic experience, where you both discuss and appreciate the art and identify your favorite pieces. It also offers an opportunity to see a side of Moscow that many tourists don't.
- You wrap up your date with a visit to a local café or bar near one of the stations. Here you can share your thoughts on the art viewed and enjoy a less formal part of your date by unwinding and reconnecting after your underground excursion.
Preparation steps:
- The date primarily involves a lot of walking, so ensure both you and your partner are in comfortable shoes and clothing. While the subway ticket costs are minimal, you should keep spare change for the tickets.
- You can also enhance your experience by doing preliminary research on the most art-filled stations. This will allow you to map out your exploration route in advance of your date.
- Lastly, consider checking the weather, particularly if you plan on going for a drink or a meal above ground after your exploration. An umbrella or raincoat could come in handy if it's set to rain.
Some tips:
- Subway stations are typically quieter during off-peak hours, so consider planning your date accordingly for a more comfortable experience.
- As the adventure involves exploring Moscow's underground, it would be beneficial if you or your partner speak a bit of Russian. This will help navigate the city's subway system more easily. Also, make sure you follow any local regulations or restrictions regarding photography in public spaces.
- Lastly, immerse yourself and have fun. The street art scene in Moscow is one of the city's hidden gems, and exploring it with your partner makes for an exciting and unforgettable date.
