Rasskazovka Metro Station opened in 2018 on the Solntsevsky radius of Line 8 (Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya, yellow), in the village of Rasskazovka on Borovskoye Highway in south-west Moscow.
It sits near Vnukovo Airport (about 5 km away), but it isn’t located at the airport terminal. The station’s depth, architects, and interior decoration aren’t consistently confirmed in available sources, so this guide focuses on what can be used on site: its place on the line, the main area context, and how Metro entry works.

Why Visit Rasskazovka Metro Station?
Rasskazovka is useful for travelers who want a working, suburban end-of-line feel on Metro Line 8, and for anyone mapping how the Metro reaches the Vnukovo direction.
How Rasskazovka Metro Station Is Laid Out
Like many Moscow stations, access is via the street entrances on Borovskoye Highway down to the platform area. The key thing to look for on site is the platform direction signage, since the station sits between Novoperedelkino and Pykhtino.
Highlights of Rasskazovka Metro Station
End of the 2018 Line 8 extension
Rasskazovka opened on 30 August 2018 as the end of the Line 8 extension from Ramenki (a west–south-west expansion).
Tip: Use the Line 8 map to see where the station sits on the radius, not just the stop names.
On Borovskoye Highway
The station is on Borovskoye Highway in the village of Rasskazovka, close to the Novo-Peredelkino area.
Tip: Before you go up, check the exit signs for the correct side of Borovskoye Highway.
About 5 km from Vnukovo Airport
Rasskazovka is about 5 km from Vnukovo Airport—but it is not at the airport terminal itself, and walking/bus links are not the same as an “airport station.”
Tip: If heading to the airport, check the airport’s own transport page for the current options from the station area.
Between Novoperedelkino and Pykhtino
On Line 8 (yellow), Rasskazovka lies between Novoperedelkino toward the center and Pykhtino toward the airport side.
Tip: Look for platform-direction signage so the train goes the way you need.
Atmosphere
Underground, the station feels like a practical suburban stop: platforms are straightforward, and the main sounds are trains, announcements, and passenger movement to the exits.
Above ground, the station sits on a major road (Borovskoye Highway) with nearby housing, so visitors typically don’t feel immersed in central-tourist Moscow here.
It tends to feel busiest during weekday rush hours and quieter outside them.
History of Rasskazovka Metro Station
Line 8 was extended in stages during the 2010s. A section connected Park Pobedy to Ramenki in 2017, followed by a longer extension from Ramenki to Rasskazovka.
Rasskazovka was reported ready for commissioning in May 2018 and opened on 30 August 2018 as the end of that extension.
Today, it’s an operating Line 8 stop in the south-west, on Borovskoye Highway in Rasskazovka. Details such as depth, architects, and interior decoration aren’t reliably confirmed in the sources available for this entry.
Tickets and Booking for Rasskazovka Metro Station
You don’t buy a separate ticket for Rasskazovka itself—entering requires a Metro fare.
Fares and payment methods are reported inconsistently across sources, so check the live fare and supported payment options on the official Moscow Metro site (mosmetro.ru, as of October 2026).
- Troika card: sold via ticket windows and top-up machines; you can also top up in the official Metro app.
- Foreign bank cards / phone payments: reports conflict about whether they work at turnstiles, so it’s safer to carry cash and be ready to buy at a staffed ticket window.

Best Views and Photo Spots of Rasskazovka Metro Station
Platform hall
The station interior (platform hall) is the most straightforward place to photograph—aim for a calm moment outside rush hours.
Photography Rules
Photography rules in the station were not confirmed. Taking photographs on the platform is common, but tripods and flash can be restricted, and the platform is busy at rush hours, so stand clear of the platform edge. Drone rules in Moscow are strict and change, and are tighter near an airport.
Family Suitability
Not a “family attraction” by itself—expect a normal commuter station. It can be busy at rush hour, so keep children close to the platform edge. Step-free routes and lift access were not confirmed here.
Moscow Vibes Tips
- Don’t assume Rasskazovka is inside Vnukovo Airport. It’s a separate station about 5 km away—confirm transport options on the airport’s official site.
- Double-check your direction on the platform signs: Line 8 continues toward the airport side beyond this area.
- Plan extra time if you’re using this stop as a starting point for reaching Vnukovo, since ground connections are not the same as an on-site airport station.

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
