Lomonosovsky Prospekt Metro Station opened in 2017 on the Solntsevsky radius of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line, in the Ramenki District in the west of Moscow. Lomonosovsky Prospekt Metro Station is a two-span shallow column station about 15 meters deep, between Ramenki and Minskaya.
It was one of three stations that opened on the same day and joined Park Pobedy to Ramenki. The sources found give few details about its decoration, so this guide sticks to what is verified: its depth, its history, its place on the line and how the fares work.

Atmosphere
The platform is modern and bright, with a steady flow of commuters between the trains and the exits. The sound is trains and announcements, and the light is even and clean.
Residents of the south-west of the city and students heading toward the university area use the station, and visitors are few. It feels like a working neighborhood station rather than a destination.
It is busiest at rush hours, and calm in the middle of the day on weekdays and late in the evening.
History of Lomonosovsky Prospekt Metro Station
The Solntsevsky radius of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line began in 2014, when the Metro opened Delovoy Tsentr and joined it to Park Pobedy. For some years the western section had only those two stations.
Tunneling toward the south-west started in 2013, between Lomonosovsky Prospekt and Ramenki. On 16 March 2017 the extension from Park Pobedy to Ramenki opened, with three new stations: Minskaya, Lomonosovsky Prospekt and Ramenki.
Lomonosovsky Prospekt is a two-span shallow column station about 15 meters deep, in the Ramenki District, between Ramenki and Minskaya. It is named after Lomonosovsky Prospekt.
The line was later extended farther south-west, and Ramenki ceased to be the western end. The extension to Rasskazovka opened on 30 August 2018.
Today the station is a working stop on Line 8, in the west of the city. Details of its architects and decoration should be checked.
Tickets and Booking for Lomonosovsky Prospekt 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.
- Rush hours: the station is busiest in the morning and evening on weekdays.
Rates for Russian citizens and concessions differ. All fares and payment methods are listed on the official site, mosmetro.ru.

- Check the direction of your train from the platform signs, since Line 8 runs toward the airport and toward the center.
- Plan a ride through Park Pobedy, two stops toward the center, to see its murals and its long escalators.
- Do not expect a decorated showpiece; the station's interest is its place in the 2017 extension.

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. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
