A metro station is probably one of the last places you’d expect to find great art and breathtaking interiors. However, there are a few stations that hide exceptional design and art installations under city streets around the world.

Toledo Metro Station – Naples, Italy A metro station is probably one of the last places you’d expect to find great art and breathtaking interiors. However, there are a few stations that hide exceptional design and art installations under city streets around the world. Forget dirty, badly lit platforms painted in dull colours, because we’ve sought out some of the world’s coolest subway and metro stations.

Radhuset Station – Stockholm, Sweden The metro system in the Scandinavian capital is arguably the coolest in the world. Visiting any of Stockholm’s stations, like Rådhuset (pictured) is like going to an art gallery and normally there are even guided tours that take you round the most remarkable stops.

Avtovo Metro Station – St. Petersburg, Russia Moscow’s metro system, opened in 1935, is a collection of incredibly ornate stations that look much more like regal palaces or cᴀтнᴇᴅʀᴀʟs rather than commuter hubs.

Kievskaya, Mayakovskaya and Park Pobedy Stations – Moscow, Russia

Bund Sightseeing Tunnel – Shanghai, cнιɴᴀ

Arts Et Metiers Station – Paris, France An ode to steampunk and French novelist Jules Verne, the platform tunnel at Arts et Métiers is covered in copper cladding, complete with portholes and exposed bolts. Inspired by the science fiction novels of the early 20th century, it surely feels like the submarine Nautilus from one of Verne’s most famous worksTwenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
