History of Dubrovka Metro Station
In the 1990s the Moscow Metro opened a new radius, the Lyublinsky, in the south-east. Its first stage opened in 1995, with stations from Chkalovskaya to Volzhskaya. Dubrovka was one of them, though a source says that it was originally to open together with the first stage and the exact date should be checked.
It is a deep wall-columned station with three vaults, about 62 meters underground, designed by Ye. Barsky, V. Filippov and S. Belyakova. Its design is identical to that of its neighbor Krestyanskaya Zastava, with no underplatform service spaces. At the time it was the deepest station in Moscow, until Park Pobedy opened in 2003.
The decoration has no single theme: bright monochromatic marble on the columns and walls, and a bright mosaic by Zurab Tsereteli at the end of the central hall.
The vestibule is linked with a network of subways under Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street, with modern glazed metal and concrete pavilions.
Later the Moscow Central Circle opened, with a station called Dubrovka, and an out-of-station transfer now links it with the Metro station.
Today Dubrovka is a working stop on Line 10, between Krestyanskaya Zastava and Kozhukhovskaya.
Tickets and Booking for Dubrovka Metro Station
There is no ticket for the station itself; entering needs a Metro fare.

Check the current fare on the official Moscow Metro site, mosmetro.ru.
- Troika card: a reusable card sold at ticket windows and top-up machines in station halls and through the official Metro app; the deposit is reported as a small amount (₽), so check the price.
- Foreign cards: reports conflict on whether foreign Visa or Mastercard cards and phone payments work at the turnstiles, so carry rubles in cash and buy a ticket or card at a ticket window.

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.
