World Cup visitors arriving at Moscow railway stations will not have to look far for the perfect spot to take a selfie, as platforms and ticket halls will soon have special labels marking out the ideal camera angle.

 

到达莫斯科火车站的世界杯游客不必再费周折寻找完美的自拍地点了，因为站台和售票大厅很快将有特别的标识为游客指出理想的拍摄角度。

 

Green stickers of a camera image adorned¹ with a smiley and the words "photography allowed" will be rolled out across nine mainline railway stations, in time for this summer's football World Cup in the Russian capital, Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper reports.

 

There will be an average of 20 stickers per station, and at nine centimeters in diameter they will be easily visible, according to the Moscow mayor's office. They will mark out prime spots in waiting rooms, business centers, on platforms, and in front of the main entrances.

 

The Moscow department of Russian Railways says the aim is to "encourage amateur photography, and allow tourists and passengers to take that first beautiful picture right after stepping off the train".

 

There are already some stickers on the platforms of Moscow underground stations, and the flagship Moscow Central Circle line will get 190 of the green camera labels this week, the Mayor's office said.

 

"Many Moscow Central Circle stations are located in the historic city center, and provide the perfect camera angle for memorable² photos," according to the railway press office.

 

Moscow is expecting an influx³ of fans for the World Cup from June 14 to July 15, and railways stations are gearing up to hand out maps and guidebooks to those who choose to arrive by train - primarily at the Kazan and Leningrad terminuses.
