The Trans-Siberian Railway is a legendary railway crossing the whole of Russia from west to east. Its starting point is Moscow, and the final point is Vladivostok in the Far East. The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the world (9 288 kilometers in total). Crossing the whole country by train is a great opportunity to understand Russia.
Thousands of kilometers from the shores of the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean will show you the country in all its greatness, the mixture of cultures and fortunes, architectural splendor and variety of peoples and religions.
