Why Visit Ramenki Metro Station?
The station is mainly useful as a gateway to the Ramenki district, a residential area of the south-west with the university quarter of Lomonosovsky Prospekt nearby. It opened in 2017 as the terminus of the line’s new section, and it stayed the end of the line until the extension to Rasskazovka opened on 30 August 2018.
The station was first mentioned in plans in 1965, when the Solntsevsky radius was proposed, and it was finally built under the green strip between the roadways of Michurinsky Prospekt. It is a calm, modern stop rather than a sightseeing destination, and a visit takes only a few minutes beyond the ride.

History of Ramenki Metro Station
The Ramenki station was mentioned for the first time in 1965, when the Solntsevsky radius project was introduced, then planned as a continuation of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line from Kievskaya. Later plans considered a high-speed chord line, and the station was temporarily excluded to raise speeds, before the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya project of 2011 placed it under the lawn between the carriageways of Michurinsky Prospekt near Vinnitskaya Street.
Tunneling between Ramenki and its neighbors, Lomonosovsky Prospekt and Michurinsky Prospekt, began in 2013. The station opened on 16 March 2017 as the end of the section from Park Pobedy, and on 30 August 2018 the line was extended from Ramenki to Rasskazovka with seven stations and the Solntsevo depot.
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, depth and layout were not verified, so those fields are empty.
Tickets and Booking for Ramenki 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. 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 station is busy.

How we research and update our guides
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
