THE TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY
Region: Russia-Mongolia-China
Crossing seven time zones, between Moscow and Vladivostok, the 9,300km train track blazes a trail through some of the bleakest and most beautiful landscapes on earth.
In short, the Trans-Siberian Railway gives you unparalleled access to Russia. In addition, two variations are also quite popular: the Trans-Mongolian (between Moscow and Beijing via Mongolia) and the Trans-Manchurian (between Moscow and Beijing, bypassing Mongolia).
This journey remains the ultimate railroad experience because it can take you across not one but three incredible countries. Riding the entire distance with no stops takes around seven full days. Typically, you will need at least two weeks for this journey. Essentially, a two-week itinerary would be:
œ St Petersburg.Moscow.Irkutsk.Vladivostok œ Moscow.Irkutsk.Ulaanbaatar.Beijing
If you're thinking of making a few stops on the trip, locations such as Irkutsk (for going to Lake Baikal) and Ulan Bator are the most popular. The best time to take the Trans-Siberian Railway is between mid-May and late September while it's warm in Russia.
