>I've heard of the Metro before. It's a pretty big and fancy place

It is not that big as Moscow one, but still pretty large. It also has problems with water (surprising), so some lines were flooded years ago. It is also pretty deep because bridges are moveable and everything goes under river.

Peter visited Netherlands and studied there for some time. He made city by European standards and surely was inspired by Amsterdam too.

Peter also depicted with mad face on almost every portrait or statue. Maybe he really had that face?
