Washington D.C. Metro Map
Washington D.C.’s rail system looks infantile compared to the behemoth systems of Paris and Tokyo but it still offers its riders a unique experience. Almost all the stations, except those above ground, have barrel and cross vaulted ceilings reminiscent of the grand churches of Europe. The dim lighting also adds an extra level of surrealistic ambiance to the setting as it intensifies the contrast of the light and dark shadows cast by the ceiling’s uniform pattern. This is definitely a must ride for those wanting a unique metro experience… though it does get old rather quickly.
