Nothing puts a finger on the pulse of a new city like riding the subway. Not only does the experience force visitors to practice the local language, but it throws them in the midst of millions of residents who are all going about their everyday lives. Besides, the subway is usually the cheapest and easiest way to get from point A to point B.

In the following cities, a ride on the underground train is a destination in itself. These subways have everything - art, history and ambiance!
