If you live in a big city, the train or metro\u00a0probably has become a part of your daily routine.\u00a0Maybe you’ve stopped noticing your surroundings at all after a few months of the same commute,\u00a0eyes unflinchingly focused on your smartphone or newspaper.<\/p>\n

Think about this : Your everyday underground station isn’t just a dark, noisy, crummy place full of busy people and lost pigeons! Most metro systems are filled with interesting art and architecture, some of them the work of notorious\u00a0designers. Here are some of our favorites, as captured by bloggers and Instagrammers from around the globe.<\/p>\n

Szent Gell\u00e9rt Square Station (Budapest, Hungary)<\/h2>\n

The Budapest metro started operating in 1896, which makes it\u00a0the world’s second oldest underground railway system after London’s. While its\u00a0Line 1 is now a part of\u00a0UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites, some\u00a0parts of the network are as young as 2014, as is Szent Gell\u00e9rt Square Station. Here it is in all its tiled glory, as captured by talented Montreal photographer Olivier Martel Savoie (@une_olive<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Komsomolskaya Station (Moscow, Russia)<\/h2>\n

Located right beneath Komsomolskaya Square, Moscow’s busiest metro station is famous for its sumptuous main hall, yellow Baroque ceiling and intricate mosaics. Brazilian blogger Helo Gomes<\/a>\u00a0got to see it with her own eyes while on a trip around Europe and shared this photo on her Instagram feed for all of us to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Stadion Station (Stockholm, Sweden)<\/h2>\n

Speaking of Moscow, that’s where Alex Block (@alexblock<\/a>), a travel blogger and amazing photographer, was born and raised. But ever since he started traveling in 2008, his home has been everywhere else, and he definitely felt compelled to discover\u00a0Stockholm’s famous\u00a0metro system. Considered to be the world’s longest art gallery, every one of its tunnels has something to admire.<\/p>\n

City Hall Station\u00a0(New York City, United States)<\/h2>\n

Designed by Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino in the early 1900’s, New York’s City Hall station was officially closed in 1945 due to the installation of new, longer trains that didn’t fit\u00a0its design. Fortunately, it’s still possible to visit the abandoned\u00a0station\u00a0on a guided tour. Intrigued by its eerie elegance, adventurous rooftopper, rock climber and photographer Max Ross (@max_ross<\/a>) decided\u00a0to explore the depths of the city instead of its heights for a\u00a0day and came back with the\u00a0perfect shot.<\/p>\n

Bockenheimer Warte Station (Frankfurt, Germany)<\/h2>\n

Adriana Lage Toma (@adri.lage<\/a>) is a globetrotter and travel writer who specializes in luxury travel experiences. It is little wonder\u00a0that her Instagram page is so\u00a0stunning! While in Germany, she posted this picture of the unusual entrance to Frankfurt’s Bockenheimer Warte Station, which was\u00a0reportedly inspired by Ren\u00e9 Magritte’s surrealist paintings.<\/p>\n

Toledo Station (Naples, Italy)<\/h2>\n

Line 1 of Naples’ underground railway network is also known as\u00a0Il Metr\u00f2 dell’Arte<\/em> (“The Art Metro”), since 8 of its 18 stations\u00a0were\u00a0turned into architectural works of art by notorious designers. Reopened in September 2012,\u00a0Toledo Station was described by Italian travel blogger and Instagrammer Manuela Vittuli (@manuelavitulli<\/a>)\u00a0as “Something special” and “The most impressive underground railway station in Europe”.<\/p>\n
