Metro, underground or subway are all common names for the intriguing and sometimes slightly eerie subterranean tunnels that run under our feet. Often the backbone of a city’s infrastructure, these fascinating underground tunnels transport thousands of people a day, and you never know what you’re going to find when you visit a new one. In some cities, this mode of transit is actually one of the main tourist attractions!
