How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A trading station early in Metro 2033, where Artyom meets the smuggler Bourbon, who agrees to take him further into the metro.
The real place
Rizhskaya opened in 1958 and takes its name from the nearby Riga railway terminal, built for trains to Latvia.
Visiting
The Riga terminal across the square is worth a look, and the Moscow Railway Museum is next to it. Many Western governments currently advise against all travel to Russia, so check official advice first.
