Step-by-step booking guide

  1. 1

    Take the metro to Liziba

    Ride Line 2 to Liziba station. Follow the crowds to the viewing area below the building.

  2. 2

    Time it with the trains

    It gets very crowded. Arrive a little before you want to photograph a train so you can get a spot.

  3. 3

    Watch for paid extras

    The viewing area is free. Anyone selling an "entry ticket" to the public area is a tout.

Key pitfalls

  • Arrive before train times for photos; very crowded.
