The holiday of a lifetime

The Trans-Siberian Railway journey is one of the most amazing train journeys in the world. It is not only
one of the most famous railways in the world but it is also the longest. It starts in Moscow and finishes
in Vladivostock, on Russia’s Pacific Coast, 6,500 miles (10,500 kilometres) away.

You travel from Europe into Asia, go through seven time zones and pass by 87 towns and cities. If you
don’t stop anywhere on the way, you can get to Vladivostock, on the Pacific Ocean, in six days. But that
isn’t a good idea. The train stops at thirteen different stations and there’s so much to see.

First of all, you should go to Lake Baikal, the World's largest and oldest fresh water lake. Then there’s
the city of Novosibirsk, the capital of Siberia, with just over one and a half million people. It’s a relaxed
and interesting place with unusual museums and a great nightlife. And you really have to visit
Yekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth largest city, where the last Tsar of Russia and his family died in 1918. It’s
famous for its theatres and has over thirty museums for you to visit. There are of course, other things
to do along the way, like visit the Kremlin or the Forbidden City. These make the trip more expensive
but also make it the journey of a lifetime.

The train is very comfortable. It has two or four-bed compartments, with first-class as an option. Food
and drink are sold both on the train and at each stop. There is also a dining car. For the best trip, try to
travel in the spring or autumn because the weather is better then and look out for great offers. The
cheapest ticket is around £300. But at the top end of the scale, if you have more money to spend, you
can take a two-week guided tour from London for about £9,000. However you do it, you’ll have a great
trip!
