Why Visit Dmitrovskaya Metro Station?
The station is a deep station of the 1991 extension that brought the gray line along the Dmitrovskoye Highway to the northern districts, with links to the Savyolovsky suburban railway line. It lies next to the Dmitrovskaya railway station, so it works as a change point between the Metro and suburban or diameter trains.
The name points to the highway and the town of Dmitrov, which has its own day trip guide on this site. The station is mainly a transit stop, and a visit takes only a few minutes beyond the ride. The next station, Savyolovskaya, is at the Savyolovsky railway terminal, from which trains leave toward Dmitrov. See the Dmitrov Day Trip from Moscow guide.
How Dmitrovskaya Metro Station Is Laid Out
The station is a deep underground station of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line, between Timiryazevskaya toward Altufyevo and Savyolovskaya toward Bulvar Dmitriya Donskogo.
It is adjacent to the Dmitrovskaya railway station, which serves the Moscow Central Diameters and suburban trains. Because the details of the hall, the passages to the rail platform and the walking times were not verified, follow the signs on arrival and check the operator’s map for the exit toward the platform and the highway.
Highlights of Dmitrovskaya Metro Station
A deep station of the 1991 extension
The station opened in early March 1991 on the extension that took the gray line north along the Dmitrovskoye Highway, at a depth of about 59 meters. Look along the hall from the platform. Check the length of the escalator ride.
Tip: Allow extra time for the long escalator ride.
The Dmitrovskaya railway station
The railway station next to the Metro station serves suburban trains and the Moscow Central Diameters, sources differ on the line number. Check the operator's map and the schedule before using it.
Tip: Check the destination board before boarding a train.
Named after the Dmitrovskoye Highway
The station is named after the highway that leads to the town of Dmitrov, a route used since medieval times, and the road still runs beside the station. See the Dmitrov Day Trip from Moscow guide. Check the highway exit signs on arrival.
Tip: Use the highway as a landmark when leaving.
The link to the Savyolovsky line
The 1991 extension provided three links to stations of the Savyolovsky suburban railway line, one of them here. Check the operator's map for the current rail services.
Tip: Compare the three links when planning a rail trip.
Next stop: the Savyolovsky terminal
The next station, Savyolovskaya, lies at the Savyolovsky railway terminal, where long-distance and suburban trains leave toward the north. See the Savyolovsky Railway Terminal guide. Check the ride time before you plan.
Tip: Ride one stop to Savyolovskaya for the terminal.
The neighboring stations
Timiryazevskaya, on the other side, was the deepest station of the Metro from 1991 until 2003 and has a link to a rail platform and, until 2025, a monorail. Check the operator's pages for details.
Tip: Ride one stop north to see a deeper station.
Atmosphere
The deep hall is cool and echoing, with long escalators moving a steady stream of commuters between the platform and the rail link. The sounds are trains, announcements and the hum of the escalators, with the traffic of the highway above.
Residents of the north and suburban commuters use the station, and it is busiest at the weekday rush hours, calmer mid-morning and in the evening.
History of Dmitrovskaya Metro Station
The Dmitrovskaya station opened in early March 1991 as part of the northern extension of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line, which carried the gray line from Savyolovskaya to Otradnoye along the Dmitrovskoye Highway. Sources give the opening date as 1 March or 7 March.
The station lies at a depth of about 59 meters and is named after the Dmitrovskoye Highway, which leads to the town of Dmitrov. It is adjacent to the Dmitrovskaya railway station, which serves suburban trains and the Moscow Central Diameters, and the extension provided three links to stations of the Savyolovsky suburban railway line.
Dates and details should be checked against the Metro operator’s official sources, and this history is shorter than requested because few facts could be verified; the station’s architect and decoration were not verified.
Tickets and Booking for Dmitrovskaya Metro Station
Fares. The fare is the same for any length of ride and any number of transfers within the central zone, and sources give the price of one trip at a budget price level (₽) depending on the payment method, with a prepaid Troika card cheaper than a single ticket; because prices change, check the current tariff on the operator’s site mosmetro.ru. Diameter and suburban fares differ and depend on zones, according to one source. Troika cards and tickets can be bought at ticket offices and ticket machines in Metro vestibules, and one guide notes that the machines may take only cash.
Payment. Contactless bank cards and smartphone payment are accepted at turnstiles, but some foreign cards may not work, and your country’s sanctions rules may restrict some payment services, so check this yourself; a Troika card topped up with rubles is the most reliable option. Rush hours are the weekday mornings and evenings, when the hub is busy.

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible.
