11 Best Subways Of The World

Besides being weird and crazy, Richard Branson also runs Virgin Vacations which has a blog and on that blog they've done a little linkbaiting with an article entitled 11 Best Subways of the World. Normally we wouldn't fall for this shtick but they've posted interesting photos and YouTube shorts about these stations and a couple of fun facts. Did you know for instance that every building in Paris is within 500 m from a subway station or that 44 Moscow metro stations are classified as architectural sights? Neither did we. If you're really dying just to pour over these heavy-hitting stations, head over to Amadeus, a site that has printable maps for nearly every underground systems in the world.

After the jump, a list of the top eleven metros in the world.

1. London
2. Paris
3. Moscow
4. Madrid
5. Tokyo
6. Seoul
7. New York City
8. Montreal
