Long read: Visiting the Red Bull Racing factory

Matt Gretton

Editor-in-Chief

Access all areas (yes, even Adrian Newey's room) in the factory where the powerful machines are built.

Milton Keynes, the high-tech capital of motorsport

The most striking thing about the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing factory is how unobtrusive the building and its surroundings are. The town where the Formula 1 racing stable is located, Milton Keynes, is actually not known for anything except its huge amount of roundabouts. Agriculture dominates the landscape, and brown-white Herefordshire cows form dots over the green hills.

Only someone who is known in the area could tell you that this is really the high-tech capital of motorsport. Almost all Formula 1 teams are located here in the region, and not just the teams themselves. Also, the suppliers; the gearbox builders, the engine tuners, the transport companies are here. And rally teams, other formula teams, independent car builders, the list is endless.

The only real visible reminder of the importance of this region for global motorsport is the legendary circuit built here on an old airport from the Second World War; Silverstone. The first race was hosted here in 1948 and since then the backdrop for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix has been arranged, alternating with Donnington Park and Brands Hatch. Since 1987, Silverstone has been on the calendar permanently as the British Grand Prix. 

But where, for example, the McLaren Technology Center is an incredibly impressive space lab designed by internationally renowned architect Norman Foster that you can only drive to through a checkpoint, Red Bull Racing is simply located on a meaningless industrial park. Apart from the Red Bull paintings on the wall - allegedly recently installed - and the vertically parked Formula 1 car hanging on the wall next to the entrance, there is no indication of the world-famous residents. The property could just as well be used by a distributor for photocopiers.

Inside at Red Bull Racing

The entrance to the building is already more impressive; the entrance is formed by a hedge of meter-high display cabinets filled with the countless trophies that the team rode together in recent years. Replicas of course, although not everyone knows that. A ram crack was committed a few months ago and a number of trophies were stolen to melt them down.

Although there is a large Red Bull gas station in the reception and a wall filled with even more silverware, there is not much to discover here either. Some merchandise is for sale in a corner, but that's it. To find out where the action takes place, you have to go through a back door and up a flight of stairs, but even there the interior is in no way as lab-like as you would expect.

There is a fairly finished carpet in the hallway and the R&D department is located in a large office garden with fluorescent tubes in suspended ceilings. And there are computers. Many computers. A quick count taught me that there are about 15 rows of fifteen desks in the room, subdivided into four-leaf clover-shaped cubicles where people are sitting behind old flat screens computing. An average mail-order company does not look very different. The only reminder that this is actually the factory of the world championship team are the small Red Bull refrigerators that can be found everywhere in the building.

Adrian Newey and his office

And of course, the brain force at work here is just a little bit different. While visiting the factory in Milton Keynes, I briefly had the opportunity to peek into the room where the words "Chief Technical Officer" are written. Adrian - The Legend - Newey himself was working. Sitting at his computer with his huge design desk behind him, ready for use. Newey's career is as illustrious as long, and with ten constructor championships to his name, he is the most successful yet active technical boss in Formula 1 right now.

After his debut at Leyton House-March in 1989, he climbed until he really began to gain legendary status as Williams' technical boss in the mid-1990s in the years that they still dominated Formula 1. He then went to McLaren, who, under his leadership, came back to the top until Red Bull hijacked him so that the team suddenly also won world championships. Yet you wouldn't say that when you see him at work.

His office is furnished with almost no interest, with large piles of paper in the windowsill and a silly lava lamp on his desk. The only thing that really sets his office apart from all the other offices is the huge design office, on which he apparently still works out his ideas.

The factory

Yet one floor below it really becomes clear that this is not a normal office. In a large, open space filled with large workbenches and large rolls of cables, young and old men work in team uniforms, with soldering irons and unrecognizable tools in their hands-on parts that together form puzzle pieces on that one powerful machine: Formula 1 car. Here racing parts are made in 1 huge garage. And not just any parts - this is special in every possible way. Electronics are essential for Formula 1 cars; without electricity, the engine will not even start. And here, in the electronics area, all sensors, cables, switches and even the smallest buttons on the handlebars are tested and connected.

In the pain room, four people work full time here and in recent years, I am told, a lot of work has been done invisibly. Thanks to new paint compositions, a weight saving of no less than twenty percent has been achieved here since 2005. It is not uninteresting that everything you see on the car is sprayed directly on it; stickers are no longer used at all. The precise composition of the paint is, of course, a secret, but from close by it most closely resembles matte plastic.

The space next to it is reserved for wind tunnel tests and calculations for scale models. The FIA ​​has, of course, devised all kinds of rules to limit wind tunnel use as much as possible. The FIA ​​also checks its use by requiring inspection of wind tunnel plans, power consumption, etc. It only becomes very special when you see the space next to it, which is filled with a number of 3D printers. Parts and entire prototypes are printed here, which can then be tested in the wind tunnel. Although I am told fairly quickly that it is not officially 3D printing, stereolithography. That you just know.

The control centre of Red Bull Racing

Elsewhere in the building, there is a space that - as I have been told by someone who has been there - is about the size of the Space Control Center in Houston. What I know for sure - because I saw it myself - is that it really looks like the Space Control Center in Houston. This is what Red Bull Racing calls its AT&T Control Center. The space is classified as a wide amphitheatre with rows and rows of computers that you can see on the pit wall and that are all focused on a huge screen on which as a mosaic all kinds of different images of a circuit can be seen thousands of kilometres away.

This Control Center was, of course, empty at the time of my visit, but especially during the free training sessions on Fridays of race weekends, there seem to be top crowds here. And the numbers are incredible. A physical connection is always made to the data centre on the circuit, and around 400 GB of data is exchanged during a race weekend. All data from all dozens of sensors in the cars can be seen in Milton Keynes within 0.3 seconds (although the data is stored elsewhere - in a secret high-security basis).

In one row, engineers are only busy analyzing the competition. What complaints, strategies, ideas and tactics they discuss - everything is monitored. The men of aerodynamics are in the next row. The colleagues of vehicle dynamics are in a different row. All circuit data is constantly viewed. And yes, even the employees of the social media team are in this room to follow everything as well as possible. Now you know where all those clever Red Bull tweets come from!

Anyone who sees this space with their own eyes suddenly realizes why Formula 1 has occasionally become a high-priced procession. All data is constantly collected by computers in order to be able to weigh the optimum result against the least possible risk. It also shows how cunning Formula 1 teams deal with rules and how they always work sharply; this entire data centre was built because teams can take a maximum number of people to the circuits. And you also understand why FIA boss Jean Todt is slowly starting to philosophize harder about less interference with data. Very little is decided on gut feeling, everything is computer controlled - the drivers seem to be remote-controlled robots. Although they are fortunately not that far of course ...

The heavy machine work

In an adjoining hall, it suddenly becomes clear again that no Chinese cities are being checked here, but that we are here for the most high-tech motorsport on earth. When a large garage door rolls open, the real heavy machine work is suddenly revealed. Here it smells of oil, and grease, and steel that is processed, like it smells in car factories or even the garage around you. And the numbers are impressive. Except for the gearbox, the engine, the brakes and of course the tires, all parts are made here by Red Bull Racing itself. More than fifty different types of steel are used in this garage alone.

The plant is in constant use, open 24 hours a day. In total around 10,000 parts are made per car per year. If Gasly had finished at Red Bull last year even more. Work is also carried out here during race weekends. It often happens that a new part is not finished before the team goes out, or that a part is flown in for other reasons. In that case, someone who happens to be at the factory - receptionist or mechanic, it doesn't matter - is put on the plane to the circuit with that one part on the plane. "The race is the only deadline we have," says an engineer.

TAG Heuer, the partner of Red Bull Racing

I came to the Red Bull Racing factory at the invitation of timing partner TAG Heuer to see with my own eyes what that partnership actually entails. And to understand that, we have to go back into history for a moment. Not to the zeroes or to the nineties, or even the eighties, when TAG Heuer was a partner of McLaren, but farther back, all the way to the fifties, the years in which a young boy Jack Heuer became intrigued by car racing, like many boys before and after him. The only difference between him and those other thousands of boys was his last name: Heuer was the great-grandchild of the founder of the family business who then only bore his last name, without a TAG.

And for those who now think: oh dear, this will be an advertising story, rest assured. This article is a journalistic production for which no payment has been made. A story that delves into how TAG Heuer and motorsport became eternally connected. And that may well be told because it shows that the best connections are made when they are organic and not conceived in a marketing plan.

Well, back to 1957. Jack Heuer was not really active in the company of his ancestors at the time, but he had a preference for racing. In his autobiography, Heuer describes a visit to the Monaco Rally. When he walked past the cars after the races, he suddenly noticed something. Almost every car he peeked in had a stopwatch from the company he was the offspring of. A large Heuer stopwatch adorned every dashboard. Motivated by that idea, he went back to Switzerland but did not immediately do anything with it.

Later he also visited the legendary Carrera Panamericana rally, where he saw more Heuer dashboard clocks passing by. When he also started trying to race himself, and by now he had finished the technical university, he wanted to make a watch that was more useful during races. Initially he tried that with the Autavia, but that watch didn't really catch on. Later he created what would later prove to be his masterpiece, the Carrera.

Heuer was technically strong, had a good team behind him, was averse to excess and very no-nonsense in his design approach and made a watch that is now on the market more than fifty years later. And that is supported by Max Verstappen - the man who is at least as no-nonsense, technically strong and stubborn as the maker of his watches. It can't be a coincidence.

Heuer and Ferrari

Later, in the early 1970s, Heuer started playing with the idea of ​​entering Formula 1. Via-via he heard that a competing brand was discussing with Clay 'Crash' Regazzoni, the charismatic Swiss driver who was driving a Ferrari at the time. Heuer decided to take a different approach. He heard from another source that Enzo Ferrari had a problem: Il Commendatore did not trust the French timing crew at Le Mans. He was looking for an opportunity to reliably time his Ferraris. Heuer contacted Maranello, where he came into contact with Ferrari's number 2, a man whom Jack Heuer describes in his autobiography as "a neat, well-developed young man, impeccably dressed and clearly of good origin"; Luca di Montezemolo.

The stories Heuer can tell about his dealings with Ferrari are as beautiful as you hope they are. How the Italian signs his papers with a purple fountain pen, how he turns every dime ten times, how he sits in a darkened room somewhere in the factory, with only one spot on focused on a portrait of his deceased son Dino. But the best story I came across in Heuer's biography is a wonderful way in which the partnership between the two brands finally came about.

Heuer sent his electronics man to Maranello, a man who also spoke excellent Italian. The parties started working together, but Enzo Ferrari nevertheless refused to pay for the equipment. He wanted to be able to use everything for free. Heuer himself once again drove to Maranello to meet Il Commendatore and finally, a deal was made: Heuer was allowed to place his logo prominently on the cars when he would take the timing for Ferrari. But after some extra hassle, Ferrari came up with some additional wishes. "Drivers are so expensive these days," the Italian grumbled. "You have to sponsor them too." And so it was that Jack Heuer offered his watches - golden Carreras - to Regazzoni and later also to Lauda.

Heuer later installed all the timing infrastructure on the Fiorano circuit. And so it happened that TAG Heuer was the first watch brand to have such an intimate collaboration with a Formula 1 team. In the 1980s, when the Swiss watchmaking business did not go so well and the Luxembourg investment party Technologies d'Avant-Garde (TAG) took over the family business, the cooperation with Ferrari was also lost. Shortly thereafter McLaren would come - a partnership that lasted until two years ago.

It's all about timing

As I walk through the Red Bull Racing factory in Milton Keynes, I notice how the personalities of both brands fit together. Both brands are innovative, open-minded and dare to make sense. In that respect, TAG Heuer does indeed fit better with Red Bull than with its previous partner. I ask the spokesperson of the Formula 1 team what exactly he gets out of the collaboration with TAG Heuer. Whether something is actually being contributed to each other, or whether it is purely cosmetic. He honestly replies that the main goal for TAG Heuer is brand awareness, but that there are many natural interfaces in both branches. Information is everything in Formula 1. Timing is everything in Formula 1. And the car is - despite all electronics - still a mechanical object.

All those things also apply to watches. TAG Heuer was the first team to introduce electric time measurement in sport, and has been involved in racing from the very first moment cars were invented. The spokesperson tells me how both brands have actively started looking for ways to make the collaboration ever closer. One of those activities was a visit from a number of Swiss engineers to the Red Bull factory.

At a certain point in that tour, they arrived in the room where the pit crew was busy practising the pit stops. One of the employees of TAG Heuer asked: "how do you actually measure the time for these pit stops?" The answer: "just with a stopwatch."

This idea travelled back to Switzerland and a short time later the mechanics in Milton Keynes received a new, electronic timing set. The following year Red Bull would - coincidence or not - break the world record of the fastest pit stop of all time, allowing Max Verstappen to make that race the difference. Formula 1 is a sport that is decided on the smallest margins - and time is the determining factor.

People make the difference

Now that the new racing year is coming, the Red Bull Racing factory is, of course, running at full speed. This is the epicentre of all the activity that you will see later on the course. But what my visit to Milton Keynes has brought me is a much deeper understanding of what it takes to get a team to perform at the top of its margins every race. When you see such a factory inside, you really feel that what we see on TV is really just the tip of the iceberg. Whoever sees that, understands why every team boss actually finds the constructor's title much more important than the driver's title.

And what is special about Milton Keynes is that it still feels like a car factory. It smells of oil and steel and machines are running at full speed to produce parts. Computers outline the framework in which the cars can perform, but ultimately it is human hands - at the wheel or in a CNC machine - that make the difference. And that is quite reassuring.

Red Bull Racing F1 Factory tour

A superb tour in every aspect; seeing the story of the team from the origins and all the cars in a single place was brilliant. Our tour lead (Guy) was superb, very knowledgeable and passionate and proud of the team. The level of access was unexpected, we really did get to experience a day (in 2 hours) at a world-class f1 team. The level of performance, detail and commitment to improvement explains a lot about why they are so successful, and havng a lot of fun along the way - huge thanks !

Simon and Kathy

Amazing day

Far better than I could have expected

My husband and son thought it was fantastic!

Bought this as a present for my Grand Prix mad husband and son. They came back full of enthusiasm for a great day out. Knowledgeable staff made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. They are so glad that they went. They certainly had their eyes opened. Highly recommended!!

Amazing experience for any F1 fan

From getting to spend time looking at all of the Red Bull cars, up to and including the car in which the world title was won, to the tour of the various departments that make all the parts and the control room where a race weekend, it is a great experience for anyone into the sport. The tour guides do a great job of explaining everything and everyone you meet is super friendly.

brilliant day out with my son

We had a fantastic couple of hours looking around the Red Bull factory. Our hosts were so informative and friendly and made us very welcome. Our highlight was seeing the evolution of the cars as they were lined up in a semi circle which really highlighted how designing of cars has advanced over the last 20 years. Congratulations to Red Bull Racing for allowing fans too see there factory.

Red Bull Racing came into existence late in 2004 – under the guidance of Team Principal Christian Horner – with ambitions to challenge for race victories and world championship titles.

Over the next four seasons, solid foundations were laid. The Team recruited in both quantity and quality, steadily expanding until it was capable of going toe-to-toe with the most illustrious names in racing.

The Team finished seventh in 2005 and 2006. The initial driver line-up was a mix of youth and experience: David Coulthard provided the latter, while Christian Klien, Vitantonio Liuzzi and Robert Doornbos were the former. DC scored the Team’s first podium, finishing third in Monaco in 2006.

In 2007 Mark Webber came on board to join DC. The Team finished fifth in 2007 but dropped back to seventh again in 2008 – but everything was going to change in 2009.

Coulthard retired at the end of 2008 to be replaced by Sebastian Vettel. Seb’s arrival coincided with a major reset in the sport’s aerodynamic regulations. The new rules gave the Technical Team the chance to shine. In the RB5 they produced a winner. Vettel took the Team’s first victory, leading home Webber in a 1-2 finish at the Chinese Grand Prix. The car would win five more times in 2009, including Webber’s debut F1 victory at the Nürburgring. The Team finished second in the Constructors’ Championship but, perhaps more significantly, it won the final three races of the season.

History was made in 2010. Driving the RB6, Webber and Vettel were title contenders from the start. Their consistent podium finishes secured the Constructors’ Championship at the penultimate round in Brazil. Both drivers went to the final race in Abu Dhabi with a shot at the Drivers’ crown. Vettel emerged triumphant, winning the race to become the sports’ youngest ever World Champion.

The Red Bull RB7 and Vettel dominated 2011. He took 11 of the Team’s dozen victories and took his second Drivers’ title with four races to spare. The Constructors’ title was confirmed with three races still to go.

The competition fought back in 2012, the first seven races went to seven different winners representing five different manufacturers. Red Bull Racing kicked on in the second half of the season and four consecutive victories saw Vettel emerge as a strong title contender. Those wins also propelled the Team to a significant lead in the Constructors’ Championship. Both titles were clinched by the season’s end.

In 2013 the RB9 looked like the class leader – but somehow never seemed to produce what it promised. That changed after the mid-season break when Vettel went on the rampage, setting a new record for consecutive victories – nine! Both titles were secured with three races to spare.

The 2014 season saw reality bite as the new hybrid power units heralded a change. Saddled with a sizeable horsepower deficit the RB10 lacked the competitive edge enjoyed by its predecessors. Nevertheless, the car was still good enough to provide Daniel Ricciardo with his first, second and third Formula One victories.

Ricciardo had replaced Webber, the latter has decided to retire from Formula One. Ricciardo outscored his quadruple World Champion teammate to finish third in the standings. While the Team came down to earth in 2014, its new driver was flying high.

Vettel departed at the end of 2014 and was replaced by Daniil Kvyat. Still plagued by a horsepower deficit, and struggling to get the car balanced, the Team endured its worst campaign since 2008.

Red Bull moved up in 2016. The Team finished second in the Constructors’ Championship and Ricciardo was third in the Drivers’ table – though the name on everyone’s lips was Max Verstappen. The young Dutchman was promoted from Toro Rosso to replace Kvyat after four races of the season. He got off to the best start possible, winning his first race at the Spanish Grand Prix. Ricciardo added a second victory in Malaysia.

2017 saw the RB13 struggle early on. The Team, however, excels at in-season development and was soon on the podium. Daniel managed a mid-season sequence of five top-three finishes in a row, including a victory in Azerbaijan. It was, however, later in the year that the car started to look properly competitive, with Max taking victories in Malaysia and Mexico.

2018 produced similar results, the RB14 was dialled in from the start of the season but a horsepower deficit hampered performance. Nevertheless, Daniel was able to collect ins in China and Monaco. Sadly, power unit failures became a talking point in Daniel’s season, with many races blighted by reliability problems. Like Daniel, Max finished 2018 with two victories. Thanks to his drive in Austria, we finally celebrated a home win at the Red Bull Ring.

While this seemed very much like business-as-usual, 2018 was a season of change. The Team announced it would end an 11-year association with Renault and would become a Honda-powered outfit for 2019. Six weeks later Daniel Ricciardo said that after a decade with Red Bull, he would be leaving. His move saw Pierre Gasly rewarded for his exceptional performance at Toro Rosso with a promotion to the senior team for 2019.

There were green shoots of success from the beginning of the 2019 season for Max. He really shone in Austria where he took his first win of the year and Honda’s first Formula One win since 2006. Max went on to claim two more wins, his first pole position, and finish third in the Drivers’ Championship ¬– his best season to date. After 12 races into the season, Alex Albon was promoted from Toro Rosso for the remainder of the season. Alex’s debut season was rewarded when he claimed the Rookie of the Year trophy at the end of season awards.

The two drivers return in 2020 along with Honda, meaning the Team starts the season with continuing and ready to charge on.

RB Leipzig set for first US tour in summer 2024

Red Bulls²: Base camp at RBNY | Friendly against Aston Villa | Wide range of activities and events planned | Reunion with Emil Forsberg

Family Business in New York: RB Leipzig, two-time Germann Cup winner, will leave Europe for preseason for the first time in its history, with a trip to the USA planned from July 28 to August 4 . 

During the US tour, Marco Rose and his team will set up base camp at the New York Red Bulls Academy in Whippany, NJ, and are sure to see some familiar faces during their stay such as Emil Forsberg (2015-2024 at RB Leipzig), RBNY head coach Sandro Schwarz and Jochen Schneider , Head of Sports at the MLS club and previously part of the management at Leipzig from 2015 to 2019.  

US is calling!

Friendly against Aston Villa

On top of that, RB Leipzig will also play its first friendly of the 2024/25 season in the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ . The team will face English Premier League side Aston Villa on July 31 with kick-off at 8pm local time.

The seven-time English champion, who has former Leverkusen players Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby in its ranks, currently sits fourth in the Premier League and, like RB Leipzig, is on course for Champions League qualification. Leipzig is planning a second friendly at the end of the tour on the East Coast.  

Plenty of activities planned off the pitch

Alongside the friendly games and daily, high-intensity practice sessions, there will also be lots of events happening away from the turf in the New York metropolitan Area . They include the unveiling of the new RB Leipzig jersey for the 2024/25 season, CSR activities, public training, autograph sessions and some exciting collaborations with Red Bull athletes in North America.  

Johann Plenge, RB Leipzig General Manager

• “This will be our first preseason outside of Europe, and with the USA we decided to go to a key target market for our club. RB Leipzig excites soccer fans both domestically and internationally with its unique story, which has taken us from the fifth division to the Champions League.  We’ve brought the world of soccer back to Leipzig with our exciting European runs in recent years and as a host city for EURO 2024 . Now we’re bringing Leipzig to the world! We want to take advantage of our good and special connection to New York and strengthen it for years to come. It’s an important step for us, but also for the Bundesliga, which rightly enjoys a great reputation in the US.”  

Rouven Schröder, RB Leipzig sporting director

• “Our coaching staff and players can look forward to an incredibly professional training camp with two friendlies against ambitious opponents. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the USA is one of the most exciting sports markets in the world, and its love for soccer continues to grow.  This trip to the US will create some great memories for our team and we’re looking forward to meeting our colleagues at New York Red Bulls and the MLS .”  

Emil Forsberg, 325 appearances for RB Leipzig

• “All of us at RBNY – and myself in particular – are really excited that RB Leipzig is coming to New York for its first US tour. It will be a special reunion with players, coaches and staff for me that I wasn’t expecting so soon.  Not only are the conditions at our training complex great, but New York is also the perfect city for RB Leipzig and the Bundesliga to become better known in the USA. I’m sure that we’ll have a great time together.”  

The MVP kids' trip to Leipzig

Several connections between RB Leipzig and the USA

Over the years, RB Leipzig has been able to establish several links to the USA and to New York specifically. Former US international Terrence Boyd (14 caps) was the first American to feature for the club, playing there from 2014 to 2017. Fellow American Tyler Adams then joined RB Leipzig in 2019 after having spent the previous four years at the New York Red Bulls . The midfielder would go on to score the winning goal in our Champions League quarterfinal against Atlético Madrid in August 2020, helping us reach the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in our history. The 2022/23 season then saw US youngster Caden Clark make the move to Leipzig, also from RBNY. Additionally, Jesse Marsch enjoyed a stint at the club as an assistant coach in 2018/19, before returning as head coach from July to December 2021.

RB Leipzig was also involved in hosting youth soccer camps in the New York metropolitan area in both 2022 and 2023. Over 300 kids took part in the week-long camps in Hoboken, NJ and Brooklyn, NY, which were led by coaches from the RB Leipzig Soccer School. The respective MVPs from each camp were rewarded with the opportunity to fly to Germany in order to attend a home game at the Red Bull Arena.

Recently, the club’s academy hosted players from the New York Red Bulls’ U13 and U14 sides. On top of joint practices and off-field activities, the teams also took part in several friendlies, as well as attending the Bundesliga game against VfL Wolfsburg.  

New York Summer Camp 2022

Top 3 in the USA

In addition to various on-the-ground activities, the club has also been able to reach millions of fans in the USA with the help of TV, streaming platforms and its social media channels. RB Leipzig is currently among the top three Bundesliga teams in terms of US TV ratings. Of the club’s nearly seven million followers across various social media platforms such as Instagram , TikTok and YouTube , a total of 10 per cent are already from the USA. 

In order to continue serving their ever-expanding international audience, RB Leipzig has also launched an English-language WhatsApp Account ( @RBLeipzigEnglish ). In addition to expanding their English website coverage, the club is planning to release an English-language version of its official app on top of that.

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
