Travel Tip #1: Get a Travel Mascot!

26 comments:.

um what Little Miss and the Black Keys..Envy!

I know! I'd like to think that she gave them a bit of luck at this weekend's Grammys, but they're amazing! I knew I wouldn't be able to cross the first class curtain, but Little Miss did! I thanked one of them at baggage claim, but I didn't want to bother them too much for autographs & another picture. My favorite picture yet because it was unexpected. :)

Best most creative tip ever!!!!

I have a traveling teddy bear and had so much fun sending him around the world to friends. I was JUST talking about this idea with my mother-in-law (who wants something for her motorcycle trips) and I think a Little Miss would fit perfectly in her bike jacket.

how fun. I've been to many of the places in your wonderful album here, but don't have any photos as fun as yours. I love your little mascot...and never realized how small he was until the last photo. Great idea. I'm going to start looking for a mascot myself. : )

This is such a cute idea! Thanks!

This a great idea for vacations around here. We did the Flat Stanley project with the library this year for Mr. 4 which is sort of similar. My problem that I probably would forget the darn thing somewhere and be out of luck for more pictures! And I would never have thought to loan the object out! :D

That's hysterical! I love it. Now I'm going to have to find a mascot :)

Any action type figure would work too!

Thanks! My travel buddies thankfully don't mind taking pictures with her. In fact, I think we find more places to take pictures with her than for us real people!

True! I stored her with the camera, so we'd always have her around. I loaned Lil Miss out whenever someone was going to a place that I've been in the past, but before I had my mascot. Who knows, maybe she'll end up being more well-traveled than me eventually!

We did something similar on our road trip to Disneyland last summer. However ours was a small, stuffed beaver with a maple leaf on it's foot (We're Canadians). I like the idea of it being washable & something that can stand up on it's own though. It certainly added another little element of fun to the trip! Great photos! Makes me want to start planning a trip!

I love this idea and now I am mad that I didn't do this on my trip to Paris last year. My students would have loved this! You could really have fun and almost hide the mascot in some pictures and make people look for it. I must remember that for next trip!

Love this idea! I plan to have a travel buddy for my next trip.

So fun and cute! I am loving your travel mascot. I don't have a travel mascot...but having grown up in western Pennsylvania, I am a Steelers fan. So I have a huge collection of Terrible Towel photos from all of my travels. Now I am brainstorming a little towel waving mascot that can stand in for me when waving a towel isn't so appropriate. :)

How fun is that! Great pics. My daughter and her husband did that a few years ago when they made a cross country trip by car. They actually "borrowed" his sister's pink flamingo and took pics with it, then made the sister a little photo album of their trip! She never realized her flamingo was even missing!! So much fun!

I love this idea - must get our girls to choose one next time we go on a trip! Great selection of photos there - thanks for sharing! Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit! Hope you have a fabulous week! Jill @ Creating my way to Success http://www.jembellish.blogspot.com/

Love this! Found you through Frugal Fooddie Mama Marvelous Monday. =) I would love for you to share and link up at my weekly TGIF Link Party if you haven't already this week. Your favorite posts, most popular, recent or new! The party is open every Thursday night and closes Wednesday's at midnight. Followed by (Not SO) Wordless Wednesday! http://apeekintomyparadise.blogspot.com/. I would be honored if you join us and follow to stay connected Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Cathy

What a fun idea!! I like that! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Thursday's Temptation! Your link got the most views this past week so I will be featuring it at tonights link party! Jill

Thank you! Looking forward to the party. :)

I have a travel mascot, Sheepy(a little stuffed sheep, a little bigger than little miss)! I went by myself to Ireland last year, and my niece let me take her so I would have a travel companion. That was the best idea! I took pics of her everywhere, and it was a great conversation starter! I got to know most of the people in my travel group because they thought she was hilarious! By the second day, everyone was giving me pic ideas w/Sheepy. Now, she goes on all of my family's vacations! It's a fun thing to see Sheepy's adventures, and I know it will last a long time!

I'm a photographer and have never thought of this! Wow, I'm going to figure out a mascot to use really fast!! What a GREAT idea!!

Thanks! It's tiring doing all that traveling! :)

Then your photos would extra beautiful with a little mascot, since your a professional! :)

I love to hear your comments! And putting in your two cents is always free. :)

Little Miss Turtle

Hello! I’m Melanie. Welcome to Little Miss Turtle!

In 2015, I started this wheelchair travel blog as a hobby to provide helpful advice for other disabled travelers like me. This blog is free of ads, and I put tons of effort and hours of work into it.

So, if you are looking for  wheelchair-accessible travel inspiration,  don’t go any further!

You’ll hopefully feel right at home here on the  Little Miss Turtle Wheelchair Travel Blog!

WHAT'S THE BLOG ABOUT?

On Little Miss Turtle, I write about my accessible travel adventures as a wheelchair user. At the age of 4, I was diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I (known as LGMD2I/LGMDR9). I have used a wheelchair since I was 6. At first, only for longer distances and then also for shorter ones until I could no longer walk. It took me some time to process, but my wheelchair became my best friend over the years. This precious companion keeps me moving forward toward new experiences. I have a restless traveler's heart and love to discover new places around the world. At 15, it turned out that my LGMD started to affect both my cardiac and respiratory muscles. This background allowed me to realize at a young age how precious life is and that it may go by faster than we think. From this moment on, I had two priorities: Firstly, learning absolutely EVERYTHING about LGMD2I, and secondly, traveling the world as long as my health would allow it. Learn all about how and why I became an accessible travel blogger in the "Travel is Life" section further below.

WHAT'S LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY?

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, or just LGMD, is an umbrella term for rare genetic muscular dystrophies. There are more than 30 known subtypes, each of them affecting a distinct gene. The disease varies in severity. Symptoms can appear from early childhood up to adult age. It first affects the proximal muscles (shoulders, hips, quads), but finally, muscles all over the body can be involved. LGMD causes mild to severe weakness and muscle wasting, which can eventually lead to a complete loss of function. In some subtypes, the heart and respiratory muscles can be affected. In short, LGMD is a genetic disease affecting muscle cells only. Therefore it has no impact on the brain, the nervous system, or other organs. Muscular dystrophy (MD) is too often mistaken for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune disease, which affects the central nervous system. Also, unlike MS, muscular dystrophies are classified as rare diseases. A mid-2019 scientific paper estimates that LGMD2I (recently renamed LGMDR9) would affect 4.5 people out of a million.

HOW DO I TRAVEL DESPITE MY DISABILITY?

Quite frankly, traveling wouldn't be possible for me without help. With this said, I always travel with my husband, who is not only my best travel buddy but also my full-time caregiver. My husband doesn't hesitate to piggyback me when encountering obstacles, like inaccessible buses or metro stations. I am more than thankful for his tremendous support! You also need to know that I am a travel deal hunter and love to travel as budget-friendly as possible.

WHY LITTLE MISS TURTLE?

Living with a rare, progressive disease such as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is quite a challenging experience. Though I was never able to run or climb stairs, at some point, I could walk. This "walking" of mine had always felt pretty natural and "normal" to me. Until one day, I realized it was clearly not very "standard." Nevertheless, it got the job done and took me from point A to point B. Slowly, of course, but also pretty smoothly… just like a turtle, in some ways. This animal has a friendly reputation, which served as an inspiration for the name of my blog. Not to mention that if you lose sight of a turtle for a few minutes, you might not see it again for a while… it's gone! Gone exploring its own world!

TRAVEL IS LIFE

Travel is my life.

Earlier in my life, I pretty clearly understood the challenges and the outcomes of my physical condition. It is one thing to have a muscular disease affecting your limbs. However, it is entirely something else when you learn that your heart and respiratory muscles are, too. Somewhere in accepting the severity of my disease, I decided to live in the present. That’s when I realized I had to be more careful about my priorities and choices.

The system forces us to believe in the concepts of ‘save now, spend later’ and ‘work hard now, live later’… But when exactly is “later?” A few years back, my next-door neighbor finally retired from an indeed ‘brilliant’ career. He worked very hard throughout his career. As a result, he earned a lot of money, allowing him to buy and possess much ‘wealth.’ But unfortunately, he died just a few months after retiring.

My point is not to convince anyone that working should be avoided. My point is that our future is absolutely uncertain. So why not create your own life strategy instead of falling into the trap of “copying/pasting” obsolete life concepts?

Step by step, year after year, my priorities became more evident. If my days are counted, then why not make them count?

I was determined to live my most enjoyable life WITH (and not against) the cards I was handed and make something good come out of it.

With this mindset, I started traveling, already using a wheelchair. I spent money on flying instead of make-up, clothes, or handbags. Paying for unforgettable life experiences became more important to me than gathering objects and owning things. What is better than travel memories in times of illness?

My first long-haul flight as a wheelchair user took me to the US West coast in 2011. At that time, I had no clue I would meet my adventurous husband soon after, so I thought this 21-day-long RV road trip would be the “trip of a lifetime.” My travel buddy for this trip was my amazing stepdad, who volunteered to come with me and be my caregiver for the whole journey.

Since then, I have visited 14 different countries, each inspiring me to travel more, at least for as long as my health allows. But, unfortunately, every year, my body and heart get weaker. So in less than 3 to 4 years, I’ll probably switch from buying plane tickets to train & bus tickets. 

The  LMT Blog  represents much work and energy for my husband and me. After learning how difficult it is to find valuable and reliable information for wheelchair travelers, I started my blog packed with accessible travel info. It has only one purpose:

To bring a minor contribution to benefit the wheelchair community wanting to travel.

Hi Melanie, So happy to have found your travel blog. Like you, I have LGMD (mine is 2L) diagnosed 40+ years ago while in college. Unlike yours, mine resembles turtle-like progression so am still able to walk short distances with Canadian Crutches but use a scooter more and more. My wife and I love to travel like you but have confined our travel to the US so far. Looking forward to reading your posts and following you travels. Thanks for being there. RM

Hi Richard! Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. It’s great to hear that your progression is turtle-like :-)!! Let’s keep in touch! Melanie

I’ve been in a Powerchair for a little over a year. Before that I had a walker. Before that, a cane. I just discovered you and would like to know more about the manual chair in the South Africa post from today.

I had the privilege of hearing you speak this past weekend in Chicago. You and many others I met this weekend are truly inspirational. I applaud your attitude and fortitude for making your life the best it can possibly be despite possessing this incurable disease. Here’s to many more years of travel and a cure for LGMD in the near future!

' src=

Wow, Melanie, what a wonderful blog for those who travel with a wheelchair in tow – an all-around inspiring website! Thanks for sharing your experiences with such detailed information about your destinations.

My adult daughter, who has disabilities and will live with my wife and me until we can no longer care for her, LOVES to travel. While I can’t see us ever being able to take her overseas (we live in the US), your information on Banff/Jasper and Chicago will be helpful when we plan some trips there in the future.

May you enjoy your future travels and have happiness always.

Hello! I have a slow progressing LGMD type 2B and I love to travel! I don’t have a blog but I have traveled in Ladakh, India, Las Vegas,US and Puerto Rico with my limited and now decreasing mobility. I am so happy to have come across your blog. I take inspiration from you to do many more travels! Thank you

Hi Melanie. I stumbled across your blog when researching accessible travel to Japan. We have a 20 year old son with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and while his strength is declining slower than average, which of course we are very grateful for, we are conscious of ‘seizing the moment’ and creating as many awesome memories as possible. So, for our next adventure, we are thinking of Japan, and I am encouraged reading your blog, as I did wonder how accessible it would be? One of my big questions is accommodation, as our son needs a roll in shower now, and from what I have read so far, it doesn’t seem as though these sorts of rooms are plentiful? Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the informative info on Japan and I will be sure to read about all of the other destinations also! Best Regards, Maree (from New Zealand)

Hi Maree. Thank you for your comment! Japan has done much to improve wheelchair accessibility. Having been there often, I can definitely say that it is easy to get around as a wheelchair user. But like you mentioned, a big Manko is the lack of hotels with roll-in-showers for wheelchair users. In more expensive hotel chains, you will often find a separate bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. In addition, some hotels have shower chairs for guests with disabilities. This was the case at the ANA Crowne Plaza Osaka. The only hotel I visited with an actual roll-in shower was “the b Asakusa” in Tokyo. Unfortunately, this hotel has been permanently closed since the pandemic. A wheelchair user of the web forum “TabiFolk” stayed at the Centurion Hotel Grand Akasaka in Tokyo, which has a small roll-in shower. Barrier-free rooms for wheelchair users are called “Universal rooms” in Japan. Sometimes you can directly find and book these rooms through the hotel website or Booking.com. Other times you have to contact the hotel directly and ask for a universal room. Feel free to ask if you have further questions. Have a good time in Japan! Best, Melanie

I discovered your website when researching Japan. It will be our first trip in May 2023. My husband uses a manual wheelchair and we will also take a carer to help us. I have learned lots from your info. Many thanks! Sandie, UK.

Really enjoyed your travel blog! Looking forward to meeting up in Amsterdam next year!

Hall Family at Walt Disney World - Epcot

Is there anything better than traveling?  As a mom of 5 kiddos, we are not really jet setting around the world right now.  Maybe one day, but not today.  Just look at that group up there…

That being said, we do travel around our home state often.  Good old Florida – the Sunshine State!  There’s really no reason to travel too far out of the state boundaries.  Florida offers amazing things to do!  We’ve got the beach, theme parks, water parks, golf, deep-sea fishing (one of our favorites!), and anything else you can imagine… well, I haven’t found any naturally occurring  snow sports. Yet.

Our family is active and we like to go, go, go.  We do Disney. A LOT.  You name it, we are there.  occasionally, you might find us testing the waters at Universal, Sea World, Busch Gardens, or Legoland.  We will see what the future holds for our family when it comes to those ‘other’ places…

Thanks for visiting!  I’m excited for our friendship to flourish.  Please join me, it’s magical here!

My first border crossing – from vietnam to cambodia.

I have always wanted to visit Angkor Wat. Being already in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, and only 2 hours away from the Cambodian border, I decided to make a trip there.

There are many bus companies that offer direct bus service between Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh. I tried to go with bus companies that have relatively good reputation, so I used Mekong Express for my border crossing here. The ride only took about 7 hours from Ho Chi Minh City and cost me around US$12. It was actually a really good deal when flights from Vietnam to Cambodia can cost more than US$200 for one way.

My bus was scheduled to leave at 7:30am. Luckily the Mekong Express office was located in Pham Ngu Lao so it was just a short walk from my hostel.

They played some cheesy drama/movie on the way to Cambodia

The ride to the border was nice and smooth, and we reached the border after 2 hours. The bus driver dropped us off at a warehouse like building which turned out to be the Vietnam Immigration Office in Moc Bai (Vietnamese border checkpoint).

I entered the Immigration without knowing what to do, it was a big chaos there.

At the beginning of the bus trip, the Mekong Express representative handed out the departure card for us to fill out, and our passport were collected together with it. When we reached the Vietnamese Border, the Mekong Express representative put all 40 passports collected from our bus onto the desk of the custom.

Once the passports were stamped, the staff from the bus company would shout out our name to collect our passport, then walked through the Vietnamese border.

I went back to the same bus that I initially boarded to the Cambodia Immigration Office. After a short drive, we reached the Cambodia Immigration office in Bavet border.

I applied for my Cambodian E-Visa 2 weeks before the trip. So I just walked through the building with my E-Visa, got my passport stamped and boarded the same bus again.

Met this lovely man from Melbourne on the bus. He told me stories about how he escaped Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge rule in the 70s, and took him almost a decade to settle his new home in Australia.

Crossing the Vietnam-Cambodia border was actually easy. When I was planning this trip, going through border crossing via land worried me a lot. I heard stories of scams, but the Mekong Express representative was great and ensure our border crossing to be as smooth as possible so my first ever border crossing didn’t turn out bad. Of course I do recommend you to do some research beforehand and be cautious at all times.

I was really excited to see the Cambodian Arrival Stamp on my passport, and I can’t wait to experience what this country has to offer.

My Weekend Escape To Warburton, Victoria

little miss travel

Not long ago I discovered there’s a Redwood forest in Warburton, and I guess a day trip to Warburton would be a good idea to pass the ANZAC long weekend. We visited Warburton 2 years ago for a friend’s wedding but we never had a chance to explore this area further. Warburton is a small and beautiful town located just about an hour half away from Melbourne.

We only visited 2 places in Warburton. The first place we visited was the La La Falls, a relatively small falls with a very cute name. It was a 3.2km uphill hike from the carpark to La La Falls. We walk past some old stone bridges, tall trees and little creeks and we both felt like walking through an enchanted forest.

Very short hike but steep

Sunday adventure at La La Falls

The second place we visited was the Redwood Forest. This place looks like an enchanted forest. It is so peaceful and quiet, and it is so easy to wind down and feel calm.

Where are the unicorns?

You are my best model

Finally found a magic mushroom in this enchanted forest

The Old Tea House, Warburton Victoria

little miss travel

When we arrived at Warburton we saw a cute little sign hanging over a tea shop.

This little tea shop has over 200 different types of tea blends, and you can select any of teas on display and enjoy it in store.

We ordered some scones and a cup of berries of the forest (tea) for myself. And OMG the scones were so light and fluffy – but the tea was also fresh and fruity!

If you are scone and tea lovers, make sure to check out this tea house if you visit Warburton.

BULA, WELCOME TO #FIJI

little miss travel

I just returned from a week long holiday in Fiji, and I already missed the sun, the beach, the ocean and the people there!

I have been getting the itch to go somewhere tropical since my wedding in March last year. Since Fiji has always been on top of my bucket list for travel destinations, I decided to spend the start of 2016 in the tropical paradise.

Fiji is definitely a tropical paradise but nowhere near as touristy as many other South East Asia countries, like Phuket in Thailand or Bali in Indonasia.

Fijians are very laid back, this is probably due to living on ‘Fiji time’ and drinking Kava. Kava is a traditional drink in Fiji, and is made from the root of the pepper plant. I would say drinking a bowl of Kava similar to drinking a bowl of dirty water. It tastes like bitter and peppery mud.

Being ambitious – packed way too many books for the trip

On our way to the Melbourne Airport

First overseas trip in 2016

On the plane!

Due to limited transfers between island resorts, a night on the mainland (Nadi) is necessary. I spent the first night at the Radisson Blu Resort on Denarau Island before heading to the Yasawa Islands the next day. The Radisson has an amazing pool area, though the resort is more family oriented than some of the other Denarau resorts. Overall, I was happy with my stay at the Radisson.

First sunset in fiji

For the second leg of my Fiji Trip, I stayed at Navutu Stars Resort, a boutique resort in the Yasawa Island Group. There are 2 ways to get to Navutu – via the seaplane or via the Yasawa Flyer, a boat that leaves from the Denarau Marina and stops at various resorts in the Yasawa Island group.

I chose the boat because it was a cheaper option. Since the boat ride from Denarau to Navutu would take around 4.5 hours, I booked the Captain’s Lounge rather than standard seating. The price difference was not significant and the Captain’s Lounge guaranteed us indoor seating along with free drinks and snacks.

After 4 hours on the boat…

The ride to Navutu Stars was very scenic, and I went outside often to take photos of various resorts and islands that passed along the way.

When our boat pulled up on the Navutu’s beach, we were greeted with a welcome song from the staff members. The resort has only 10 bures, so I got to know the staff on a personal level which adds to the authentic Fijian experience. We were taken to Bure #9, a beachfront bure with great views of the ocean. The bure is very spacious and clean.

We spent the first afternoon hiking up one of the hills overlooking Navutu. The hike was not easy when the weather was hot and humid, but I have to say the view from the top was worth it.

Greeted with welcome song from the staff

There was a hammock in the trees in front of my bure.

The celing looks pretty cool.

Have you ever seen such crystal clear water? I just couldn’t get over the gorgeous aqua colour.

Each day was new and exciting, there was an activity board in the dining area which updated daily with the day events, but if the activity that you want to do is not listed, the resort can set that up for you as well. I went spear fishing and snorkelling in the ocean one morning, the fish species and coral were amazing. I wish I had thought to get an underwater camera.

The other organized activity I took from Navutu was a visit to the local village. Visiting the traditional Fijian village is a must when in the islands, and the village tour offers a very rewarding experience and understanding of the modern Fijian village culture. We had a chance to see local homes and playing fields. The village seem to be self-sustaining, where people grow their own food and catch their own fish. Because most of the staff came from the island’s village, they shared their life and culture with the guests, and these were very authentic experiences.

Activity board – can you spot my name

I wasn’t expected too much about the food since we’re staying at one of the remote islands in Fiji, however food in Navutu was surprisingly good.

Spearfishing day

Went spearfishing with our awesome guide at the back. He’s a fish pro!

Went for a plantation walk

Village tour – the village has no electricity and people rely on this one solar panel to generate power for light.

Kids in the village.

Private dinner on the beach

After staying here for 5 nights, it was hard for me to leave this utopia.

Can’t wait till the next time I can say Bula to Fiji again!

It was our turn to receive the farewell song

With my Yoga instructor – I went to a Yoga session one morning and felt so refreshing after that.

We took a seaplane back to mainland as we need to catch a connecting flight back to Melbourne on the same day

Moscow Metro – Part 2

Have you been to Moscow ? In all seriousness, they have the prettiest metro stations I have ever seen and I still can’t believe how immaculate and lovely every station was. There are several different stations pictured below and this is the second of several posts where I will show you the beauty of the Moscow Metro. Did you see part 1 ?  There really isn’t much to say because I think the pictures speak for themselves. I have so many more pictures to share with you!

Ohio mother who left toddler alone when she went on vacation is sentenced in child’s murder

An Ohio woman whose toddler died after she left her alone for more than a week while she went on vacation was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday, the Cuyahoga County prosecutor said.

Kristel Candelario, 32, pleaded guilty last month t o aggravated murder and endangering children in connection with the death of her 16-month-old daughter, Jailyn, last year.

Candelario left for vacation June 6 and left Jailyn alone. She visited Detroit and Puerto Rico, the prosecutor’s office said.

When she returned on June 16, she found Jailyn dead and called police, authorities said.

Jailyn Calendario mom mother sentencing court legal law child death

Jailyn died of starvation and severe dehydration due to pediatric neglect, Dr. Elizabeth Mooney, the deputy Cuyahoga County medical examiner, said in court Monday. The manner was ruled homicide.

The child was extremely dehydrated and emaciated, weighing 13 pounds, 7 pounds less than in her last doctor's visit less than two months before, Mooney said.

Mooney, who conducted the autopsy, called Jailyn's death "one of the most tragic and unfortunate cases I’ve had in my career thus far." She said the child could have suffered for possibly a week.

In a statement Monday, prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley called Jailyn “a beautiful baby girl who was taken from this world due to her mother’s unimaginable selfishness.”

Candelario told the court Monday that “every day I ask forgiveness from God and from my daughter Jailyn.”

She also asked forgiveness from her other daughter and from her parents.

Jailyn Calendario.

Candelario’s attorney, Derek Smith, said that no one was trying to excuse her behavior but that Candelario was struggling emotionally and was overwhelmed as a single mother of two children.

Candelario had tried to harm herself earlier in 2023 and she had been placed on antidepressants, which she stopped taking without tapering down in dosage as required, which can cause side effects, Smith told the court. Candelario was "not thinking clearly," he said.

“I am not trying to justify my actions, but nobody knew how much I was suffering and what I was going through,” Candelario said through an interpreter.

Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Anna Faraglia told the court Monday that Candelario had left Jailyn alone for two days immediately before she left on vacation.

"The thought of this child dying every day while she's having fun — humanity can't stomach that," Faraglia said. "And those are the actions that need to be punished. She abandoned her daughter and left her for dead."

In sentencing Candelario, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Brendan Sheehan noted that the police and the medical professionals involved called it one of the most horrific cases they’d ever seen.

“It stunned people across this world, because it defies one of the basic human responsibilities,” Sheehan said. He called it “the ultimate act of betrayal.”

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.

little miss travel

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

little miss travel

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

little miss travel

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

little miss travel

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

little miss travel

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.
