Crossing a dizzying ten time zones and two continents, the Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the world. Built during the Tsarist era of Russia, between 1891 and 1916, the railway connects Russia to the Far-East, and has become iconic as the ultimate train journey, with one of the best views in the world from your train window.
An Historic Journey
The ‘Trans-Siberia Railway’ is actually the name for three different routes – the original route connects St Petersburg to port Vladivostok. For a true change of scenery, the route from Moscow to Beijing has become popular in recent years, and in the 1920s the Soviets added a third route to China’s capital via Mongolia, offering the chance to experience the desolate plains and rugged mountains of one of Asia’s least visited countries.
